Great episode! I have two things. 1. Wouldn't an experiment of sudden choice be a better experiment? Like having a box with a stuffed cat in one and a stuffed dog in the other. The researcher picks up both boxes at the same time and tells the person they have 1 second to decide which one they want

I feel like that would be a better experiment. 2. I wonder how the experiments they have done so far would work on the two types of people that have an inner monologue and those who don't. 🤔

cute pop science stuff, this is fun. something as complex as free will? goodness, how simplistic could this podcast be? if you think about those "hard" decisions, think about all the events that led to it, and everything that came before, kept tracing, it's not as simple as "we have free will" innit
