I've never believed in free will or a "soul," but for those that do, brain imaging evidence must seem like a threat.

You don't believe in free will??

Even people with neurological or brain defects can learn to control SOME THINGS.


That said I think when people kill there is too much labeling as if we will say, "oh, that explains it" Why not just say,
"He went bizirk! after all, WAR IS HELL"

The ability to reason is not a 'magical quality' . A self -actualized person is just 'aware'.

Do you actually believe we are robots?? Or do things without thinking?? I mean aside from picking up that occassional frito bag.
