Summary

We feel like there's a little person sitting behind our eyes, pulling the strings and making decisions consciously. We're wrong. Video, links and more here. There’s a general consensus among those in the know that free will is a kind of illusion. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t behave as if we DO have free will. Accountability, who we surround ourselves with, and our ability to know our own mind all contribute to our ability to make wiser “choices”…even if it’s not so much free will but “free won’t.” Video show archive, audio podcasts, music parodies, Supporter Tribe membership options, merch, social media, and email contact form: https://lnk.bio/zdoggmd Support us with a 1-time donation and get a personal email response from me: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/zdoggmd More about Dr. Z: https://zdoggmd.com/about-z/ Learn more about your ad choices.
