“So next time your selflessness is praised in front of others, beware: making sacrifices for others makes it easier for them to sacrifice you.”
Daniel M. Wegner, The Mind Club

“Our sense of being a conscious agent who does things comes at a cost of being technically wrong all the time.”
Daniel Wegner

“The initiation of the voluntary act appears to be an unconscious cerebral process. Clearly, free will or free choice of whether to act now could not be the initiating agent, contrary to the widely held view. This is of course also contrary to each individual’s own introspective feeling that he/she consciously initiates such voluntary acts; this provides an important empirical example of the possibility that the subjective experience of a mental causality need not necessarily reflect the actual causative relationship between mental and brain events”
