The PROOF We’re In A Simulation Is Hiding In Plain Sight (Part 3)
Tom Bilyeu argues that free will is a neurological illusion, that decisions happen before conscious awareness, and that accepting determinism can actually be freeing rather than depressing.
The gist
-
Bilyeu says fMRI studies show researchers could predict a person's decision 10 seconds before the person was aware they had decided.
-
Every choice, Bilyeu argues, flows from prior hormones, sleep, stress, and genetics, leaving no gap for a freely choosing self to step in.
-
Quantum randomness does not rescue free will, Bilyeu says, because random probability collapse is handled by the system, not by your conscious mind.
-
Accepting that you did not author your past inputs, Bilyeu contends, releases self-blame and lets you focus on feeding yourself better inputs going forward.
