CHAPTER SIX
Free will: Mental energy that appears to poof into existence from scratch
Abstract
This chapter considers the following: whether our vivid experience of freedom and independence is proof that we always have a choice to do other than we do; whether we are in control of our ideas and decisions if thinking is produced by the brain; whether we are in control of our ideas and decisions if thinking is not produced by the brain; whether it is up to us to decide what we believe, or if beliefs form on their own; and also determinism and necessitarianism.
