Here’s a great list of quotes about free will via Bill Schloendorn.
While they are all great, this one is my favourite:
Charles Darwin: “…one doubts existence of free will [because] every action determined by heredity, constitution, example of others or teaching of others.” “This view should teach one profound humility, one deserves no credit for anything…nor ought one to blame others.” From Darwin’s notebooks, quoted in Robert Wright, The Moral Animal, pp. 349-50.

A big shout out to Suzen JueL (@juel) for sharing this video with me this morning. Whether or not we have free will – and what it means if we don’t – is one of the “three illusions” I talk about in the book. This video is an excellent introduction.

Well the book is finally up on Amazon! I’ve been working on it periodically over the last six months and it’s good to have it out there. It’s obviously a small book – I wrote the majority of it in a couple of weeks – but I hope it’s enough to act as a pointer for people. Once you grasp the basics, this whole topic is fairly simple. There doesn’t seem to be much point repeating the same ideas over and over.
So – hope you enjoy it and would love to hear your thoughts!
cheers
