Grab Hold of One of Your Strings!

How free is free?  Does "free will exist?" Does it matter? Are we just biochemical puppets? Weighty questions for a Monday morning.

"This understanding reveals you to be a biochemical puppet, of course, but it also allows you to grab hold of one of your strings." - Sam Harris
