… if it is totally epiphany unlocked at the phenomenal similar fancy floss rings were just means rise along the surface it like the frost on the way that doesn’t make any difference if even it is extremely biologically expensive for us to have the process of rational decision making to begin with a lot of blood flow in brain but over the long hole it takes an enormous amount of education, training, all kinds of efforts put into a timetable our children to make better decisions. If it should turn out that those decision making processes make no different whatever to what actually happens that the stuff down here in a plumbing use the term in what happens and what’s going along here is just going along for the right. Ok, now I keep going about this all day but I’m gonna bring it to a close because I’d like to say plenty of time for questions. Again once when I gave up a lecture on this it was the same lecture in London I had a wonderfully hostile audience. Another guy said well why didn’t just go the science we got today got all maybe there’s going to be so much better physics that will explain how this is possible. And I told him you know I can’t wait around for a couple hundred years. I got to go with a materials available today and the materials available today tell me if there is going to be … in determinism is a fact of nature if free will is a genuine fact of nature then assuming that are physics is generally write there’s only one possible physical explanation and that is a quantum mechanical explanation let’s see if we can try to work that out. By the way other things that people propose like chaos theory you know … the butterfly flaps its wings in the amazon basin and that causes a big thunderstorm in you know it sounds as because of the exponential effects of them of the distributions of forces. This is the always excuses by whether predictors for why they can’t find they never seen a kind right. But that’s not a case of indeterminate it’s the case where you’ve got a very large number of variables bigger than we can possibly compute even with all the computers in the world. So only genuine quantum mechanical only genuine indeterminacy I can find in the physics textbook is quantum indeterminacy but of course that’s … However, let me tell you what I seem to have given you assuming that … is even plausible, hypothesis one fits our common sense conception of everything, and make sure all they have a deterministic explanation why should human actions to be any different. Hypothesis too at least satisfies our purge, took square with the fact that we cannot live except on the precept position of our own free will there’s no way we can escape that. On the other hand we started out with the mystery of free will and now I’ve given you three mysteries for one the mystery of free will the mystery of … and the mystery os quantum mechanics. Thanks a lot.

Ok, now I try to leave plenty of time for questions goes, for me that’s always the most fun part so now I’m open for questions I have lots more stuff like I said but I think I got some of the basic problems out there.

- So about these choices we can’t pretty opinionated and so I always feel I get to the ballot box like you know the decision I’ve made really is determined pretty well ahead of time and maybe not millions of years but what’s wrong the area from the standpoint of are personal perception of things what’s wrong with the notion that we’re some agent but that agent has nature from birth and you know free will certainly will also be then that means it’s not only free.

I appreciate this question and I think a lot of people feel this look, the fact that we can give reasons for our actions suggest that they have causal conditions other reason doesn’t isn’t just some logical property but it’s actually functions causally I actually voted for that guy because he was … me the best candidate but now I want to say there’s no important difference between the case where you voted for the guy because you thought he was the best candidate and you voted for the guy because you were suddenly I’ve spent stricken with an attack of epilepsy while you were in the ballot box and your arm shot at me and not punched the hole in about at that point and that and they’ve been distinction is in the case of the rational decision making, you sense alternative possibilities open, and you sense you could have chosen the other now. And maybe politics or maybe you’re so deeply wedded to your political views that the possibility of making an alternative choice doesn’t seem plausible. And maybe that you think by the … system isn’t giving I’ve realized but I’d take restaurants in a … area it seems to me there you do have a sense of free choice and it’s true.
