brembs, 4 months ago One issue that keeps coming up in #FreeWill research is which kind of decisions to investigate. Should we study arbitrary decisions or should we be looking for free will in deliberate choice where deciding is hard? Conceptualized as "picking vs. choosing" https://www.jstor.org/stable/40971175?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents I've always tried to argue that "picking" is where freedom can be found as "choosing" can be solved algorithmically. Now, there is an article explaining such algorithms : https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.01.17.576029v1 by @MatteoCarandini
