You're Not in Control: The Hidden Physics of Consequences (Thomas Gil)
Think you're the master of your own destiny? Think again. Philosopher Thomas Gil, a professor at the Technical University of Berlin, reveals a shocking truth in his book *Consequences*: your rational decisions are largely illusions. This video unpacks how objective physical forces—not your beliefs or intentions—actually govern every outcome. Discover why your brain is physically rewired by anticipation, why inanimate objects like glass and acid have hidden 'desires,' and why your moral calculations might be worthless. We dive into the cold math of utilitarianism, the failure of human prediction, and the ultimate shift to 'philosophical consequentialism'—seeing reality as an unending chain of cause and effect. If you want to stop being a passenger and start carving reality at its joints, this is for you.
