If you're curious about this you might like the book "Free will" by Sam Harris.

I remember seeing that movie as a kid. The scene where the concept of will jumps over the kid wasn't nearly as cool as that whale movie though.

I made a lot of my unconscious conscious, but now I willingly give it control because it actually knows what makes me happy.
