“We are merely sophisticated machines” | Prof. Robert Sapolsky (Stanford)

Do we really have free will? Professor Robert Sapolsky, a renowned neurobiologist and author, challenges one of our most fundamental beliefs. In this talk, he explains why the decisions we consider conscious are actually the result of biology, genetics, and environment, over which we have no control. Sapolsky also addresses the profound implications of this thesis: what does the absence of free will mean for morality, responsibility, and the justice system? How should we view success, failure, and human choices if everything is a matter of chance? Maciej Kawecki & Professor Robert Sapolsky | interview in Polish.
