Every time I recommend this video mini series, I end up watching it all again. It's a PBS series entitled The Brain with Dr. David Eagleman. It is amazing and so fun to watch; the pacing, the camera work, the music, and the cgi all come together with David's genius narrative to teach volumes of neuroscience and cognitive science in less than six hours. This, the third video in the series demonstrates that who we are and how we live our lives, from the decisions that we make to our belief systems, is not chosen by our conscious minds. It is the result of processes we don't have access to, while our consciousness convinces us that it (we) is in control. Fascinating.
In large part, studying this kind of data for the last decade or so led to me giving up my belief of one of my favorite illusions, free will. So if you really enjoy that concept, you may want to avoid this series. Seekers, proceed with caution...
