Summary

A brand new theory on the free will question!

We believe that free will is what separates thinking humanity from instinct-driven animals. For most of history, humans have either taken freewill for granted or sung its praises. We assume we control our thoughts and that our thoughts control our actions. But what if we’re wrong? After all, we may live in a deterministic universe.

Since the moment of the big bang, matter and molecules have engaged in a complex dance of cause and effect, and that interaction could have determined the nature of everything - including our thoughts. Such is the argument of Ahmad Safavy, who employs current scientific principles - from the big bang to the systematic formation of atoms, molecules, and the living world, to quantum mechanics and chaos theory - to question how molecular action could affect everything including our genetics, our decision-making processes, and our daily lives.

In addition to utilizing the well-known scientific terms, theories, and principles, Safavy proposes new concepts such as “Energy Exchange Processes”, “Energy-Information Duality Principle”, and “Universal Spider Web Interconnectivity Model” in his free will related arguments. While targeting the general audience, the book may be used as a compact but rich source of scientific and philosophical information by the students of these fields. It may be particularly useful to philosophy students with no or limited science background and students of non-scientific disciplines.

Skillfully translating complex scientific concepts into accessible, everyday terms, Safavy invites listeners to consider the arguments for and against universal determinism. How does the presence or absence of free will affect our lives and our decisions? If there is no free will, how would that change our approach to crucial moral and sociological issues? Do we have free will? If not, what is occurring when we make a decision and act on it? The answers lie in No-Choice Theory.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Too many errors to be credible.

The first 9 chapters present some science. The aim was clearly to simplify the science for the non scientific reader. Alas, much of this science is at best, highly questionable and it too many cases, just plain wrong.
The foundations are flawed - I couldn't trust the validity of the story built on them.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
