[FRIAM] free will

[Nicholas Thompson]

I put a comment Jochen's blog.   Why dont we carry on over there and help
him generate traffic.  I have attached here a couple of papers that support
the view that people are lousy predictors of their own behavior.  If we
[and only if] we take free willed actions to be those that are caused by
conscious thoughts, then surely we must know what we are going to do before
we start to do it and be much better at making such predictions than are
the people around us.
