Kein freier Wille, aber dafür Wille
Unser Gehirn hat 10 Sekunden, bevor wir uns dessen bewusst sind, schon eine Entscheidung getroffen.Fishing in the stream of consciousness, researchers now can detect our intentions and predict our choices before we are aware of them ourselves. The brain, they have found, appears to make up its mind 10 seconds before we become conscious of a decision -- an eternity at the speed of thought.
In ways we are only beginning to understand, the synapses and neurons in the human nervous system work in concert to perceive the world around them, to learn from their perceptions, to remember important experiences, to plan ahead, and to decide and act on incomplete information. In a rudimentary way, they predetermine our choices.

Instinkte und Neuronen determinieren unsere Wahlen, was aber niemals als Rechtfertigung für unser gesamtes Handeln gesehen werden kann. Nur Idioten winden sich damit vor selbstbestimmender Verantwortung.
