Our concept of our selves as freely acting agents...is incorrect. Sorry

The majority of us, I am presuming, have a concept of ourself as a unified, freely acting agent.
Brain research on consciousness carried out over the past two decades
casts important doubts on our traditional ideas about the unity and
indissolubility of our mental lives," particularly "the concept of ourself as a unified, freely acting agent directing our behavior.
The very way that we normally conceptualize our inner lives is inconsistent
with what we know scientifically about the nature of mind.
In our system for conceptualizing our inner lives, there is always a Subject
that is the locus of reason and that metaphorically has an existence independent
of the body.
This contradicts the fundamental findings of cognitive science
