Jim talks with Tor Nørretranders about the ideas in his 1991 book The User Illusion: Cutting Consciousness Down to Size. They discuss the dialogue between Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein, defining consciousness, primary vs extended consciousness, the origins of the user illusion in computer interface design, the mind as an attempt to create a relevant myth, measuring the human mind in terms of information theory, consciousness as a story of reduction & compression, the physics of information, Maxwell's demon, I & me, Benjamin Libet's experiments on the delay of consciousness, being the spectator of our own acts, delayed auditory feedback, the veto theory, moving free will to the "me," Robert Sapolsky's arguments against free will, the reality of emergence, exformation, a simple translation of The Iliad, Julian Jaynes's theory of the origins of consciousness, why modern lives have less information, the problem with a subtractive approach to happiness, and much more.

But you will not will unless Allah wills. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise. (Qur'an, 76:30) As a result of experiments he performed in 1973, Professor Benjamin Libet, a neurophysiologist at the University of California, revealed that all our decisions and choices are set out beforehand, and that consciousness only comes into play half a second after everything has been determined. Note 45. This is interpreted by other neurophysiologists as meaning that we actually live in the past and that our consciousness is like a monitor which shows us everything half a second later. 45. Benjamin Libet, “Unconscious cerebral initiative and the role of conscious will in voluntary action,” Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 1985, 529-566. https://islamic-audio-book.com/miracles-of-the-quran-page/

This week on OVC, Fr. John discusses Benjamin Libet's experiment on the brain that has been used to argue against human free will. Are we completely free? What about involuntary and non-voluntary acts? What does this have to do with our capacity for science and a life of faith. Listen to the discussion on OVC and what free will means and doesn't mean for a human being.

In this episode, Tim Bayne explains a famous experiment by brain scientist Benjamin Libet— an experiment that Libet took to show that we have no free will. We discuss several critical responses to Libet, and Tim argues that, even if unsuccessful in his original aims, Libet has raised good questions for philosophers, physiologists, and neuroscientists to explore.Tim's website: https://www.mmcr.edu.au/our_people/tim-bayne/  Libet's 1985 Behavioral and Brain Sciences paper, including peer commentary: http://philosophy.org.za/uploads_other/Libet1985.pdfRecent paper on readiness potential by Aaron Schurger et al.: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1364661321000930Twitter: https://twitter.com/thefreewillshowInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefreewillshow/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Free-Will-Show-105535031200408/

Does neuroscience prove there is no free will? Is consciousness reducible to a neural network? Are we determined by our brains? In this episode, I speak again with neurosurgeon, Dr. Michael Egnor. We discuss Sam Harris arguments against free will, and examine not only the philosophical problems with Harris' argument, but Dr. Egnor also argues that Harris incorrectly interprets the work of Benjamin Libet on will and the readiness potential, and that Libet himself did not reject free will. We also discuss the complex question of consciousness and the materialist claims that consciousness can be reduced to a physical, neural process.

Does your brain think? Does your frontal lobe decide? Or do you think and you decide? What is the relationship between the brain and and the mind; between the brain and the person? Neuroscience has entered our everyday speech and increasingly shapes the way we think about ourselves and the world--including some serious conceptual errors. In this episode, I speak with Dr. Michael Egnor, a neurosurgeon and professor of pediatric neurosurgery about some of the philosophical foundations and faulty assumptions of contemporary neuroscience. We discuss his critiques of materialism, positivism, and scientism that underlie much of neuroscience. We also discuss the work of Bennet and Hacker and the pervasive error in neuroscience of the mereological fallacy--the error of identifying the part with the whole--identifying the brain with the person. Bennet and Hacker argue that much contemporary neuroscience is founded upon a "mutant Cartesianism" that has replaced the dualism of Decartes with a new dualism where the brain takes the place of the mind. We also discuss Dr. Egnor’s work on split-brain patients, perception, and the Aristotelian-Thomistic idea of hylomorphism. This is my first interview with Dr. Egnor. In the second interview, we discuss the problem of free will, the work of Benjamin Libet, Sam Harris, and what neuroscience actually tells us about free choices. Show Notes: https://www.themoralimagination.com/episodes/michael-egnor

In part two of my discussion with Dr. Michael R. Egnor, we continue our discussion about neurophilosophy. In this episode, Dr. Egnor brings attention to the importance of embracing the free will of humanity. Dr. Egnor is an award-winning brain surgeon and a research professor of Neurosurgery and Pediatrics at the State University of New York. You can find additional articles written by Dr. Egnor at discovery.org.  Key takeaways: Logical reasoning alongside empirical evidence of physics concludes humans have free will. Experiments in neuroscience also affirm the existence of a free will. Denying free will has societal consequences; for instance, totalitarian states are founded in the denial of free will. References: Articles by Dr. Michael Egnor   What to listen for: 1:30     Humans are the only thing in creation that bridges the material and immaterial. 3:31     How do we know that we have a free will? Reasons of logic and physics point to free will. 7:07     Physicists in the 1970s asked questions about free will and tested the idea through experiments which concluded that observation itself is a form of creation in the universe. 11:34   Neuroscience asked similar questions. Wilder Penfield and Benjamin Libet pioneered the question of free will in the department of neuroscience. 22:11   What are the consequences of believing things like determinism or materialism? 32:55   Individuals who even think of free will are lethal to a totalitarian state. Personal agency is the antidote to totalitarianism. 39:08   How should we analyze the governmental response to COVID-19 through a free-will affirming lens? 44:36   Dr. Egnor’s final takeaway for the listeners. 48:40   Concluding comments Quotes: “Free will is essential to human dignity.” 21:45 “The denial of free will is the cornerstone of totalitarian systems.” 31:00 Thank you for being a dedicated listener.

In deze aflevering komen we een een derde aspect van het leven op het spoor dat zuiver kwalitatief is: het persoonlijk wilsbesluit. Ook ontdekken we dat het persoonlijk wilsbesluit op drie verschillende manieren verweven is met onze kwaliteit van leven. Volgens de psycholoog William James is het persoonlijk wilsbesluit van groot belang voor onze kwaliteit van leven. Echter, de voornaamste sneer die vandaag de dag wordt uitgedeeld aan de wil is dat het onwetenschappelijk zou zijn. Hierbij wordt vaak verwezen naar het experiment van de psycholoog Benjamin Libet uit 1985 als hét bewijs tegen de vrije wil. Het ironische is dat dit experiment zeer nauwkeurig bewijst wat William James een eeuw eerder beweerd heeft over de aard en implicaties van wilsbesluiten. In deze podcast passeren de voornaamste conclusies van James de revue en relateren we deze aan recente inzichten, zoals het Libetexperiment. :: De eerste vraag: de wil en actuele intenties De stelling van psycholoog William James is dat het persoonlijk wilsbesluit de instemming of afwijzing van onze actuele intenties is. De actuele intentie is de intentie die we op het ene, actuele moment hebben. Actuele intenties zijn als het ware de potentie die we voelen. Die potentie herbergt een wereld aan mogelijkheden. De stelling van James is dat alle potentie die we voelen slechts potentie blijft, totdat we een wilsbesluit nemen. Het wilsbesluit, of het nu bewust of onbewust is, is onze instemming voor de verwerkelijking – het waar maken – van één van deze mogelijkheden. Pas dán worden wij een persoon, een eigen oorzaak in de wereld. Vandaar de term persoonlijk wilsbesluit. :: De tweede vraag: de wil en onze persoonlijkheid Een actuele intentie kan bewust of onbewust tot stand komen en het wilsbesluit ook. Als het wilsbesluit onbewust is, dan regeren in feite onze gewoonten, die onderdeel zijn van onze persoonlijkheid. Goede gewoonten zijn daarom van essentieel belang voor kwaliteitsbeleving. James besteedt in zijn werk dan ook veel aandacht aan persoonlijkheid en gewoonten. Zijn ideeën hierover geven veel inzicht in de psyche en zijn tegelijkertijd verbluffend praktisch en toepasbaar. :: De derde vraag: de wisselwerking tussen wil en gewoonte Onze wilsbesluiten beïnvloeden de levensovertuigingen die verankerd raken in onze persoonlijkheid, en vice versa. Dit betekent dat wilsbesluiten van groot belang zijn voor onze kwaliteit van leven op de lange termijn. We kunnen alleen voldoening blijven ervaren als we blijven werken aan ons karakter. Daarom gaat Podcast #5 over aandacht: de kunst om in de drukte van het bestaan bezig te zijn met wat er werkelijk toe doet. En daarom sluiten we deze podcast af met vier waardevolle tips van James over karaktervorming. :: Algemene informatie over de podcastserie :: De kernvraag van de serie is: hoe ervaren mensen kwaliteit van leven? Hoe kunnen we onze ervaring van kwaliteit van leven het beste omschrijven, zodat we ervan kunnen leren? Je hoort vaak de claim dat je kwaliteit van leven kunt meten. Is dat wel zo? :: Deze serie verkent nieuwe ideeën over kwaliteit van leven die méér recht doen aan onze ervaringen. Focus op kwaliteitsbeleving laat ons anders kijken en kiezen. In ons leven én in beleid. :: De afleveringen uit deze serie zijn ook onafhankelijk van elkaar te beluisteren. :: Een versie van deze podcast met verhelderende slides is te vinden op Youtube. :: Auteur: Paul Schenderling

Guest Dr. Aaron Schurger talks to us about his research on the meaning of the "readiness potential", which has been referred to as "the brain signature of the will". Although this neural signal was already famous from research in the 1960s, it was Benjamin Libet's infamous experiments in the 1980s that proportedly showed that the readiness potential preceded an act of free will by a few hundred milliseconds. More recently (in press), Dr. Schurger and his colleagues have convincingly demonstrated that the readiness potential is not in fact predictive of an act of free will, but instead comes from a lack of a proper experimental control.

David and Tamler start out with a discussion of the new Chappelle special and the negative reaction from many critics. Is Chappelle trolling his audience? Has he lost touch with the powerless people he used to champion? Or have critics missed his larger point, and failed to approach the new special as an art form? Then they address the latest development in the literature around Benjamin Libet's famous study that, according to some people, proved that free will doesn't exist. How did that study get so much attention in the first place? Tamler proposes a Marxist analysis. Plus, David teaches Tamler how to pronounce Bereitschaftspotential antisemitically.

My guest in this episode could be described as a medical doctor who thinks we transcend our biology, or as a neuroscientist who thinks there is much more to us than our brains. Raymond Tallis spent many years as an NHS consultant and Professor of Geriatric Medicine, specialising in the neuroscience of strokes and epilepsy. He is also a prolific thinker, having published more than 20 substantial works of philosophy. Core to his outlook is the claim the human consciousness is utterly unique in ways that can’t be reduced to brains and biology. Unlike other animals we have a shared sense of the world enabling complex collaboration and meaning-creation and we have a rich sense of the past and the future. For Ray, neither of these features can be explained by looking at brains. Our discussion also covers why Ray thinks we have free will, why Benjamin Libet’s famous experiments are naive and misguided and why a future genius is needed to unravel the profound mysteries of the human mind....

Intro: A matriarchy would ban dyke marches. A test to determine whether you’re a jealous person (4:30).What the Benjamin Libet experiment really says about free will (6:30). ​​​​​​​animus AT animusempire DOT com

It may feel like you are in command of your world and your body but that isn't true. And it isn't just people like Lao Tzu and Krishna that you hear this message from anymore. It is the scientific community. The ancient masters understood that free will is not what we think it is and modern science is finally beginning to catch up. To quote from Sam Harris' book, Free Will, "The physiologist Benjamin Libet famously used EEG to show that activity in the brain’s motor cortex can be detected some 300 milliseconds before a person feels that he has decided to move. Another lab extended this work using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI): Subjects were asked to press one of two buttons while watching a “clock” composed of a random sequence of letters appearing on a screen. They reported which letter was visible at the moment they decided to press one button or the other. The experimenters found two brain regions that contained information about which button subjects would press a full 7 to 10 seconds before the decision was consciously made. More recently, direct recordings from the cortex showed that the activity of merely 256 neurons was sufficient to predict with 80 percent accuracy a person’s decision to move 700 milliseconds before he became aware of it. (Harris, Sam. Free Will (pp. 8-9). Free Press.)So, as hard as it is to comprehend, you are not the one doing the doing. You can use this meditation to learn to become comfortable with this truth and to start to unpack what this means for you and in your life, right now.This is a 60 minute version of the complete 'you are not the doer' set.
