Yeah, we're going to crack this whole free will thing.
That's great.
Well, do you think we have free will, Wendy?
I mean, that's what the science is helpful for, right?
You don't have to just listen to us philosophize about, do we, don't we?
Let's look at the science.
I think we can.
I think the science will actually help us see like, yeah, what's going on kind of behind the scenes.
Okay.
But first to just kind of set the stakes, you know, this might all feel like some silly little thought experiments, but the answer here does actually seem to matter.
So, like, there have been some psychology experiments that get people to read something crapping on free will.
Like, something that says, quote, science has demonstrated that free will is an illusion, unquote.
Okay.
And then the scientists see if reading that thing changes people's behavior.
And these studies find that people will act worse.
They're more likely to cheat, less likely to help other people, and more likely to be aggressive after reading stuff like this.
Is that the idea?
Well, Leah, let's take a step back maybe and like get some terms straight.
I don't think it means you will be an a**hole.
Okay.
