Am I Free,
or Am I Really Under the Control of External Forces?
The Mistaken Belief that We are Free
Meeting # 3,864 - college regular Prof. Robert Lichtenbert
Description: "In this talk, I will speak about how very few people are really free in any of their actions. I will maintain that almost all our actions are forced by causes that make us to do exactly what we do. I will explain the main types of causes: 1) conditioning, 2) genetic inheritance, and 3) subconsciousness. I will give one reason for thinking that a person can be free, even as a lifestyle."
