Thus sayeth the fruitfly: “I will choose free will”

Turns out even our small and squishable little buggy friends may have “free will”:

A spark of free will may exist in even the tiny brain of the humble fruit fly, based on new findings that could shed light on the nature and evolution of free will in humans.

Future research delving further into free will could lead to more advanced robots, scientists added. The result, joked neurobiologist Björn Brembs from the Free University Berlin, could be “world robot domination.”

Look, Buhjorn old buddy old pal, you may think “world robot domination” is an hilarious joke, but it’s no laughing matter, okay? Although at this point I’m a bit more concerned about “world fruit fly domination.”
