In this episode of Exploring the Illusion of Free Will, hosts George, Nomi and John talk with guest Dr. Kurt Johnson the causal, unconscious nature of human will.

The debate over whether humans have a free will languished for centuries in academia.  In 2010, George Ortega decided it was time to move the issue to the public arena in a big way.  Ortega spearheaded a buzz about free will that ultimately led to an explosion in mainstream media and Internet coverage, including cover stories by New Scientist and Scientific American Mind magazines. For a description and chronology of how he did it, see "History of How Refuting Free Will Went From Academia to the Public Spotlight" at http://exogenousagency.wordpress.com/2013/01/10/history-of-how-refuting-free-will-went-from-academia-to-the-public-spotlight/  The article includes over three dozen hyper-linked mainstream press articles on the topic between 2004 and 2012.

For dozens of episodes from the world's first and only ongoing initiative exclusively dedicated to exposing free will as an illusion, visit Ortega's site at http://causalconsciousness.com/.
