A clip the Ricky Gervais Show that illustrates the problem of free will. He's easy to make fun of, but Pilkington actually makes a pretty profound observation here.

  • Karl achieved enlightenment

  • He has a point. I mean, if we didn't have a brain, we wouldn't be able to do anything, so the brain is feeding us information so that we can.

  • Kony 2012! look it up. Also, Karl ... are you mental?

  • Haha i know what Karl means, its just the way he words it is so funny. Some times I feel bad for him because he gets ripped for being so dumb... poor guy... but very entertaining. lol

  • He raises a vital question and then farts the definition down his leg.

  • @garrett707 or a soul

  • referencing the smiths

  • Scumbag brain

  • @DimentalLabs What is so silly about it? Read gamegloss's response, and then check up on determinism.

  • @dezzre I couldn't open the page, though I imagine that you are referring to property dualism, no? If so, it's more of a philosophical hypothesis than an actually fact. It concerns the nature of consciousness as opposed to the physical properties of the brain.
