Free Will Is a Lie — Your Brain Decides Before You Do - Robert Sapolsky

Everything you believe about free will is wrong — and your own life proves it. That bad decision you repeated. The habit you promised you’d stop. The impulse that hijacked you again. This is not weakness. This is biology. Neuroscience shows that your brain makes decisions hundreds of milliseconds before you become conscious of them. By the time you feel like you “chose,” the machinery has already acted. In this video, we break down: Why free will is largely an illusion How dopamine, cortisol, and stress hijack your behavior Why willpower fails (and always will) What Robert Sapolsky discovered after decades studying stress and behavior The experiments of Benjamin Libet that changed how we understand choice How Stoic thinkers like Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus anticipated this truth centuries ago And how to hack the system instead of blaming yourself This is not motivation. This is engineering. If you want different outcomes, you don’t need more discipline — you need different inputs. 🔧 Topics Covered: Dopamine ≠ pleasure (it’s wanting) Stress, cortisol, and bad decisions Why modern life breaks Stone Age hardware Friction as the only force stronger than impulse Sleep, metabolism, boredom, and controlled discomfort Why guilt is useless — and clarity is power If this resonates, subscribe.
