#EdWalker making a very useful formulation of free will.How, other than #Sapolsky's formulation as seen by #NikhilKrishnan below, do you conceive of #FreeWill?
" ... A man, Sapolsky invites us to imagine, “pulls the trigger of a gun.” That’s one description. Another is that “the muscles in his index finger contracted.” Why? “Because they were stimulated by a neuron,” which was in turn “stimulated by the neuron just upstream. . . .

As well as reporting on deep readings of #NationalSecurity cases, including #Trump pleadings, the writers over at #EmptyWheel go into other areas.
Below is #EdWalker concluding his recent series on the history of the oppression of Black folk in the #USA.
It is worth a read.

The following by #EdWalker points at valuable aspects of #Latour's work.Before it made any sense to me I had to get a understanding of what the modernist project was.
