Free Will?
Seremos verdadeiramente livres? Às vezes não assim tão livres, é o tema deste artigo do The New York Times:
I was a free man until they brought the dessert menu around. There was one of those molten chocolate cakes, and I was suddenly being dragged into a vortex, swirling helplessly toward caloric doom, sucked toward the edge of a black (chocolate) hole. Visions of my father’s heart attack danced before my glazed eyes. My wife, Nancy, had a resigned look on her face.
“A human can very well do what he wants, but cannot will what he wants.”
Schopenhauer .
