We Are Puppets!!

Are you really in control of your choices? What brought you to steemit? To this post? And what will the future hold for you and your family?

I was watching one of my favorite shows tonight called The Brain with David Eagleman.

Apparently.....our unconscious mind is running the show, and our conscious mind is just reacting to everything. We think we're making conscious decisions. But nope. Our unconscious is making all the decisions based on feelings (chemical reactions), past AND current experiences, smells, weather, strong subliminal suggestions from the media, and even genetics. So when we THINK we made a choice...we didn't. We simply reacted to the choice our unconscious mind already made. Lol puppets. Interesting stuff. #NerdLife
