The Grand Illusion: Your Brain's Secret Plan for Your Life

You believe you are in control. Every choice, every click, every thought feels like it originates from you, the conscious driver of your life. But what if that feeling of control is the most sophisticated trick your brain has ever pulled? This documentary explores the unsettling truth emerging from the cutting edge of neuroscience: your conscious mind may not be the one in charge. Journey with us into the hidden labyrinth of the human brain to meet the silent architect who directs your actions seconds before 'you' are even aware of them. We'll uncover why many scientists now believe we act less like the CEOs of our lives and more like press secretaries, constantly rationalizing decisions that have already been made in the brain's mysterious back rooms. Through mind-bending experiments, the strange cases of people with literally divided minds, and the latest scientific discoveries, we dismantle the very concept of a unified self. This is the story of the ghost in your machine—the powerful, unconscious force that has been running the show your entire life. Prepare to question everything you thought you knew about who you are. After this, you'll never see your reflection the same way again. #Neuroscience #FreeWill #Psychology -- Chapters -- 00:00 - Intro 00:15 - Partie 1 02:48 - Partie 2 05:20 - Partie 3 07:52 - Partie 4 10:24 - Partie 5 12:57 - Partie 6
