Who is Pulling Our Strings?
On the topic of free will as an explanation for human evil, I wanted to resurface this clip summarizing an experiment first conducted in the 80's that sought to gain some insight into who was calling the shots. This has since been replicated many times with similar findings. I wanted to post this as something to consider rather than stating my own thoughts about it. That said, I'm curious to hear yours. Also, for the skeptics who are only interested in increasing their skepticism, here is an article that I think provides some fair questions and criticisms about the methodology and interpretations of the study.
Enjoy
