Steve I checked out the 2011 Eagleman book, on-line Google books and Amazon text, and a number of reviews.
Seems to include many references I've read or recognize ... Is your case simply that even consciousness and conscious will are largely the products of subsconscious patterns. (That's a given, I've said several times - the reason I prefer Dennett's free-wont.) And that "we" - the conscious we doing the deciding - are also products of all those patterns .... etc. Meme machine and all that ? The conscious / intentional action part may be only .0001% of the activity, but it's still a crucial part of our mental activity - one that makes a difference to the kind of responsibility we have for actions. Is there a part of Eagleman (or your own argument) that explains why this conscious intentional part should not be treated any differently to unintended parts ?
