πŸ”“πŸ§  #Freedom vs. #Options – how free are we really?

Im #Zoomposium mit #WolfSinger wird deutlich: Unsere Entscheidungen entstehen in einem hochdimensionalen, dynamischen Netzwerk neuronaler Prozesse, das sich selbst organisiert – und das wir nur zum Teil bewusst erleben.

πŸ“› The Limits of Consciousness 🧠

Gerhard Roth: β€œIt’s like cycling without a bike – we cannot step beyond the limits of our own consciousness.”

In our Zoomposium he explores the constitution of consciousness from neuroscience & philosophy, and why we can only speculate about a world beyond it.

β€œFreedom of the Will and the Concept of the Person”
...
Instead of seeing freedom as the absence of external constraint, he saw freedom as an internal psychological relation between different levels of desire.

Harry G. Frankfurt, Philosopher With a Surprise Best Seller, Dies at 94

He spent his career exploring will and deceit. Then came a sudden success: a bluntly titled book that found that one strain of dishonesty with a barnyard name was worse than lying.
