Free will
In free will classes, we argue in favor of the inner feeling of the experience of choice. My question is, since according to the experiment showing that the brain’s decision is made before the feeling of choice, at least in cases of random choice without value considerations, etc.,
Doesn’t this cast a heavy shadow on the credibility of the feeling?
This has been asked many times and I have answered it.
First, even if it turns out that my eyes are deceiving me (Petta Morgana), I don’t lose faith in them. The same goes for intuition. Haven’t you ever had the feeling that you came up with the right idea and then it turned out to be wrong? Did you lose faith in your sense of rightness as a result?
Secondly, when you press a button, there is not a sense of choice but a sense of decision. It’s not the same thing.
