The fragment of thought that calls itself you

[Faceless]

Free will is based off the idea that you are an individual. That you have the freedom of choice. But do “you” have freedom to choose? And look closely at this, are you free if you feel you have to choose. To choose implies confusion. And are “you” really free? Is thought yours, or is thought influenced by past experience in accordance to the knowledge passed down in your culture?

Again are your thoughts “yours” ??

And also this cause and effect is an abstraction created by the mind. It’s how thought breaks down events in order to sequence and seperaete instances and events in a line of time. As far as determinism goes, the wake doesn’t drive the ship anymore the tail wags the dog. 

Some things to think about. If one hasn’t yet of course.
