Genes, Neuroscience, and Free Will
Posted on 30. Apr, 2009 by Cameron Reilly in free will
The American Enterprise Institute recently held a panel discussion about free will. I’m listening to a recording of it at the moment. Unfortunately, none of the panelists seems to be a geneticist or a neuroscientist.
Particles Have “Free Will”?

I’ll have to invite Conway onto the show to debate this in more detail. He and Kochen are obviously super-smart guys, so I look forward to seeing what evidence they have that humans have free will, let alone elementary particles.

I did my first (well, first in a long, long time) GDay World Live show on uStream tonight and it was a lot of fun! Thanks to everyone who joined in. I talked for an hour and forty minutes! WTF!?
I talked about:
- Free Will
- Why Christianity Is Dangerous
- Why Capitalism Is Broken
- The Israel – Palestine Conflict

G’Day World #324 – Dr Susan Blackmore on Free Will
Posted on 22. May, 2008 by Cameron in free will, Podcast
You’ve heard me say I don’t believe in free will. Well tonight I’ve got world famous author, speaker, psychologist and memeticist Dr Susan Blackmore on the show to explain why SHE doesn’t believe in free will either. We discuss the reductionist perspective, what neuroscientists she’s interviewed believe, and how to live your life once you’ve discarded the idea of free will completely.
