This was too big for Twitter and I didn’t want to lose it.

From an excerpt I just read (from John Bargh a social psychology professor at Yale)

“We know now that there is a very high likelihood of finding unconscious influences that effect our decisions, preferences, etc.”

Have you ever heard of a third party cookie? Do you know what it is? Are we breaking free from a prison placed on our brains by experience, culture and the thoughts of others or are we entering into a time where we are innately predictable and defensive our perceived notions of free will?
