Is Free Will an Illusion? What Science Says About Choice
Details
Are your choices really yours?
Discuss free will over drinks and meet new people in Wimbledon. No experience needed.
Every day we make thousands of decisions: what to eat, who to trust, what to believe. But how many of them do we actually choose? Science suggests that much of our behaviour is shaped by habits, biases and forces we rarely notice. So where does that leave free will?
Join us for a relaxed, thoughtful conversation where philosophy meets behavioural science. I’ll share a few ideas and studies to get us started; the rest is up to you.
- Are we truly free, or just running on autopilot?
- If our choices are influenced, are we still responsible for them?
- Can understanding our biases help us make better decisions?
This isn’t a lecture or a debate. It’s an open, friendly discussion for curious people who enjoy exploring big questions and hearing different perspectives. No experience or reading needed.
