But given that there were no issues of believed worth involved—subjects did not believe that it would be better in some way to flex the finger at 10.31 rather than at 10.32, desire alone would have determined their actions and free choice would enter only when desires were of equal strength. So one would expect subjects to flex their fingers when on balance they ‘felt like it’ and not when they did not. And desire being determined, one would expect the finger flexing to be determined. Only on rare occasions when desires were evenly balanced, would a free choice be required to determine the outcome. Free choice, I have argued, finds its paradigmatic expression in the situation of serious choices between alternatives which matter and for which reasons can be given, and it will therefore take time, during all of which there will presumably be an increase of electric potential, whichever way the choice goes.
