Join Alison as she talks to Dan Behm - He believes most people still live under the illusion that they are the captains of their ships and steering their own boats, which really isn't the case, at all. As human robots, we spend a great deal of time in trance state: lost inside programs & running in autopilot; the human brain wants it this way and as the CEO of us, keeps it this way. The idea that we are choosing our thoughts (opinions) or anything else, is for the most part, false on its face.
