Okay.
You're kind of like on this rail, like a carriage or a train.
And you're on these tracks, and there's no way of escaping the laws of nature.
You're kind of constrained to the path that the world is going to go.
Yeah, so the person who started this whole thing off was Benjamin Libet.
You see your hands, and what I want you to do is sometime when you feel spontaneously the urge to flex your wrist, please do that.
Exactly, exactly.
like a clock, just with one single point, like a simple clock.
And I asked people to remember where the point was when they made the decision to move now.
I'm going to do it now.
And you flex it.
You're in control and then the brain comes later.
And that was kind of what he was expecting.
What he found was that this brain signal happened even before people made up their mind.
And that's the paradox.
So what they were told to do was to spontaneously at some point they could decide on themselves to decide between a left or right button and then to immediately press the button.
We really have to make sure this is correct.
So we went and did all sorts of controls.
So there's something deep in your unconscious that seems to be preparing.
It's already almost as if the brain made up its mind, but you don't know about it yet.
