You think you’re in control. You think you decide when to act, when to speak, when to move. But what if I told you your brain makes decisions before you’re even aware of them?
In the 1980s, neuroscientist Benjamin Libet ran an experiment that shook the foundations of philosophy and psychology. His research suggested that your choices aren’t really yours—your brain decides first, and your conscious mind just takes credit afterward.
So what does that mean for free will? Are we all just biological machines running on autopilot? Or is there a way to hack the system?
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
🔥 The mind-blowing experiment that suggests your brain makes choices before you do
🔥 Why free will might be a lie—or at least, not what we think it is
🔥 How your habits and environment might be controlling your decisions without you realizing it
🔥 The veto effect—how to take back control of your mind in the split second before you act
🔥 A mental challenge to start recognizing when you’re actually in control—and when you’re not
Because if you’re not making your own decisions… who is?
