Effective Intentions Quotes

“In my preface, I quoted an e-mail message from someone who was upset by the news that neuroscientists had shown that free will is an illusion. She was, she said, “in a lot of despair.” My final moral is the title of a song: “Don’t Worry, Be Happy.” Scientists have not shown this. Nor has anyone shown that there are no effective intentions. This is good news for just about everyone.”
― Alfred R. Mele, Effective Intentions: The Power of Conscious Will
