Do You Have Free Will? Yes, It’s the Only Choice

From no less than the NYT.

The following is the final take-away point of the article…but the real interesting meat of the issue is in consideration of examples and cases that lead to it. Without looking into those, the concluding paragraph is pretty much irrelevant, so if the concluding concept is interesting, go check it out.

Some scientists like to dismiss the intuitive belief in free will as an exercise in self-delusion — a simple-minded bit of “confabulation,” as Crick put it. But these supposed experts are deluding themselves if they think the question has been resolved. Free will hasn’t been disproved scientifically or philosophically. The more that researchers investigate free will, the more good reasons there are to believe in it.
