Is anyone else astonished that this drivel came from the respected Economist?

Good. Now I can use the "anti-authoritarian" card when I tell my boss to go crunch a biscuit.

I didn't like the tone of this article at all. I'll spare us all and put aside the causality vs. free will debate, but saying all of our actions are controllable is ridiculous. If …
