Thoughts on free will

Read Original

The article discusses neuroscience experiments where brain activity predicts decisions seconds before conscious awareness. The author uses a programming analogy, likening the human mind to a self-modifying function that processes sensory input to produce actions. It argues that even learning and self-modification are determined by the existing 'code' of the mind, challenging the concept of free will from a technical perspective.
