I would be disinclined to invite anyone (libertarian or not) to "do it like they do on the Discovery Channel" (my joints!) but I find the phrase, "You and me baby we ain't nothing but mammals" very useful. And true. Human decisions *are* mostly unconscious (and amusingly, unconscious decisions are generally better and quicker than the ones we have to think about), so all the "power of the will" lot are working on a completely out-of-date theory of how humans work (one for which there was never any evidence anyway).
