Are we truly in control of the choices we make, or is free will just an illusion? In this episode of Mind Theory, we delve into the fascinating debate between determinism and emergent consciousness—exploring whether our decisions are shaped by physics and biology, or if true agency exists. Drawing on insights from neuroscience, quantum mechanics, and philosophy, we’ll discuss the possibility that randomness doesn’t equate to free will, and why the experience of feeling in control might just be a powerful illusion. Join us as we uncover whether we are the true architects of our decisions or mere products of a complex system.
