As Schopenhauer said about free will, you can choose whatever you desire, but you’re not free to choose your desires
Ian McEwan • Machines Like Me: A Novel
Free will is an illusion. Our wills are simply not of our own making. Thoughts and intentions emerge from background causes of which we are unaware and over which we exert no conscious control. We do not have the freedom we think we have.
Sam Harris • Free Will
“And what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around.
And it's like we're not supposed to dance at all anymore.”
