93. Unconscious Data and Processing Means No Free Will
Channel: Georgeo57
Date: 2012-11-16

Our conscious mind is not aware of our unconscious in real time.  If all of the data we use to make decisions is in the unconscious, all decision making must also take place in the unconscious.  In this episode of Exploring the Illusion of Free Will, recorded on September 28, 2012, George Ortega reviews these concepts, and provides compelling evidence that free will must be absolutely impossible.

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.
