Two-way Traffic

A second concept used by libertarians is downward causation. As we discussed in chapter 4, the brain is known to be plastic and responsive to its environment. The brain doesn’t just impact the mind; the mind also impacts the brain. Downward causation tells us that there is not simply one-way traffic from the brain to the mind; there are also “lanes” in the opposite direction, from the mind to the brain. And if this is true, then we cannot simply be at the mercy of our neurons.
