Now we actually have scientific proof for what your Dad always told you. Go with your gut.


“We think our decisions are conscious,” said neuroscientist John-Dylan Haynes at the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience in Berlin, who is pioneering this research. “But these data show that consciousness is just the tip of the iceberg. This doesn’t rule out free will, but it does make it implausible.”

You should read the full article. Makes you wander who actually rules. You? Well maybe. Your brain makes up its mind up to 10 seconds before you are aware of the actually decision.

Something to ponder. Maybe now the meaning of life is not 42
