Heard this argument in class once. Student from the psych side of campus was saying essentially the same thing. ...

... did I really mean to say that as a response, or did my brain just take the proximity of my posting a response with the comment already posted as evidence that the two ... are in fact.... related?

I should look at that link by the way :D

This is amazing! I liked the first entry:

Cognitive neuroscientist

I believe that I have free will over the decisions I make, but I can?t prove it because all the scientific evidence is to the contrary. Like everyone else, I deceive myself that I have it. This is because human beings are designed to think that they have freedom over their actions. In fact, our brain makes decisions before making us conscious we have made them. For instance, the part of the brain that controls movement is active up to one second before we are aware of deciding to move. Afterwards, another part of the brain provides an explanation of why the movement was made. So, although I am able to rationalise why I did something after the event, my brain is always one step ahead.
