Split Brain Experiment and the Soul

Just read through this completely - I can only recommend reading this to anyone! It's great!
It is only the small part about free will, where I disagree (it's also not scientific but pure speculation, which is OK). In my opinion, "free will" is only a concept of humanity, that makes it easier to abolish and persecute behavior counterproductive to the survival of our species - I think this is what is finally given in the text, but what comes before that is simply unnecessary (and also not correct, IMO).
