Is Free Will an Illusion? | Nick Jankovic | TEDxYouth@ISBangkok

We all feel that we have control over the decisions which we make. This notion, known simply as “free will”, runs deep in our logic and intuition. In fact, it’s intrinsic to the way we view the world and structure society. But what if our minds are fooling us? What if this sensation of freedom and choice is nothing more than an illusion? Nick Jankovic is a 16-year-old American of Serbian and Thai descent. He has lived in Thailand for most of his life and is currently a junior at International School Bangkok. Some of his hobbies include reading, playing chess, researching quantum physics, and debating philosophical ideas - like the true nerd that he is. But, above all, he loves having a good time with his friends. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
