1) Readings from ~256 neurons were sufficient to predict a person's movements 700 milliseconds before they became aware of it, with an 80% accuracy.

12) Voluntary actions accompany a "felt intention."

18) "Most people are ruled by mutually incompatible goals and aspirations: You want to finish your work, but you are also inclined to stop working so that you can play with your kids."

19) Are we free to do "that which does not occur to me to do? Of course not."

37) You can decide to diet but cannot know why one attempt is successful while previous ones failed.

47) Not believing in free will can be "liberating."
Just as you don't judge your future on an episode of indigestion, a brief lapse of judgement need not be indicative of the rest of your life.

54) Our justice system should keep in mind that much of our character is determined by LUCK (genes, upbringing, environment).

62) "Your ability & inclination to struggle is part of your inheritance."

66) "I can't think of anything else to say on the subject. And where is the freedom in that?"
