A year ago, I read a fascinating article on the role of determinism and free will in neuroscience that talked about how just because something is caused, does not always mean it can be predicted.
The author makes the important distinction that in order for an action to actually be free, it needs to be caused. When neuroscientists say that they can predict our actions, they are simply saying that they can show that our choices were caused, not that we were determined to do so. What do you all think about the article?
