Do We Have Free Will? | RIGSS Dialog part 6

Do we actually do what we want?
There is a complex interplay between our desires and the multitude of factors that shape our actions. Our decisions are not solely driven by conscious choices, but are also deeply rooted in subconscious influences - so how come are we appalled by the idea of exploring it as part of our human nature?

A highlight clip from a full sit-down conversation between Dasho Karma Tshiteem and Yuval Noah Harari, where they delve into human power and happiness, AI technology, education and the unknown future.

Filmed on April 4th, 2023 in The Royal Institute for Governance and Strategic Studies, Bhutan, as part of the 'RIGSS Dialog' event.
