“But these data show that consciousness is just the tip of the iceberg. This doesn’t rule out free will, but it does make it implausible.”

Just another reason I chose to be a Calvinist...

But wait...

"Does this make our self-awareness just a second thought? All this work to deconstruct the mental machinery of choice may be the best evidence of conscious free will. By measuring the brain's physical processes, the mind seeks to know itself through its reflection in the mirror of science."

"reason I chose to be a Calvinist"

Interesting, because this is the same reason why I was predestined from all time to be a freethinker.
