You mean the article that refers to a few cherry picked quotes but not actual research on the topic of free will?

... "Sapolsky quotes American cognitive scientist Marvin Minsky in support of the position that free will is really just “internal forces I do not understand.” ...

I never liked this argument. By saying it's "internal forces", subconscious struggles within myself, seems to conclude we've learned all there is to know about "physical reality".

We can't see beyond the boundary of our own reality (universe). To say we're certain reality only exists within those boundaries seems dubious.
