That was your big experiment. Button pressing? It's as meaningful as the joke example I made of physically intimidating children.To a small mind, sure it is a small experiment, you probably also fail to see the bigger implication it has, but that is none of my business.
But even so Quantum Mechanics shows that some things are truly random. If you define "you" as what is behind the randomness you don't have free will. Furthermore you could define "you" as everything that exists in all the causal chains of events that culminated in your actions in which case you would never have total free will even if you're not in this moment aware of how you made the decision or if you experience it as unfree.
Pretty meaningless quote, after i fixed it, still makes as much sense and still explains nothing.
The test isn't complex though, which is why I said it was comparable to the fake out one. I see the bigger implication, it's just not definite proof that their is no "free will" or that consciousness isn't merely some "afterthought" of the subconscious, something that can't really judge/weight scenarios. There being some predictability in simple decision mapping isn't some huge "GOTCHA" as I said earlier. Subconscious "preparing" (well bringing up what is the most relevant information in regards to conscious observations) to something before we "consciously" make a decision is like saying that the Main memory of a computer calls the shots, and not the kernel because we can read the program that kernel might execute.
You didn't fix it either, it's just more of what you've been spouting. You also left out the most important bit of defining self. Plus In a physical deterministic world, randomness doesn't exist.
PS. BBC Worldwide made a claim on the video that the article focuses on. I searched for more established sources beforehand so I saw the argument presented. Just saying, in case you wanted to update your source.
