ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Does free will actually exist?
In this episode of Divergent Files, we look at the science and philosophy behind one of the oldest human questions: are you really making your own choices?
From Benjamin Libet’s famous experiments and brain scans that can reveal information about a decision before conscious awareness, to split-brain research, determinism, predestination, and the deeper question of what “you” actually means — this episode follows the free will debate wherever it leads.
If your brain starts making a choice before you know it, who exactly is doing the choosing?
