The Joke

 * Since Libet's findings started to trickle out -
 * there was a lot of nonsense about our free will...
 * What??? My free will is useless? I'll give it up!
 * Here, my friend, take it - and tell me what to do...
 * Now, how could I - give up something I did not have?!

René Descartes noticed a slight delay as people were overriding their instinctive reactions with willed deliberate voluntary acts. This is exactly the same delay Benjamin Libet researched. This also calls for "readiness potential" to be renamed into neuronal activity required for intent.
