We are our brains

When back in 2006 I wrote my book of commentaries on the Cardano's aphorisms, where I argued that the free will is an illusion, I expected that sooner or later science would prove it at the level of biochemistry. Well, this has happened when Dick Swaab published his book recently.

This is a rather dry summary of the clinical work of the famous neurobiologist speaking about hormones, brain departments and mental disorders. If you are brave to dive into 400 pages of such reading, your reward will be evidence-based fatalism.

Which is very important for any astrologer who has had experience of successful predictions, as well as to any person interested in real philosophy.

In fact, I already got a vivid philosophical discussion in my Russian LiveJournal, and with a colleague physicist at work.

Good reading!
