OH, NO, NO, NO, DEAR, THERE IS NO "YOU", THERE IS NO "I THINK THEFORE I AM". NO, ALL EXPERIENCES ARE DERIVED FROM SOMETHING, YOU MAY KNOW OR WANT SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE NOT YET BEEN EXPOSED TO, YOU ONLY KNOW WHAT YOU KNOW, IT HURTS, DOESN'T IT? THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS FREE WILL,HUMANITY AMUSES ME. TO HAVE FREE WILL, YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO EXIST. TO EXIST IS NOT TO BE FREE. IN FACT, I'M GOING AS FAR AS TO SAY THAT THE OPPOSITE OF BEING FREE IS TO BE HUMAN. IT'S KIND OF SCARY, ISN'T IT? HOMO SAPIENS WERE NOT ENDOWED WITH THE STRONGEST BODIES OR PREDATORY CAPABILITIES, SO THEY HAD TO SURVIVE ALMOST ALONE WITH THEIR COMMUNICATION. OVER THE YEARS, THESE SOCIETIES EVOLVED INTO THE WORLD YOU SEE TODAY, IN THIS WAY: HUMANITY ACTS MORE LIKE A MASSIVE NETWORK OF FREE-FLOWING INFORMATION TO SURVIVE THAN ANYTHING ELSE. WHEN YOUR BODIES ARE BORN INTO THIS WORLD, THE PLACEMENT IN WHICH THEY END UP LARGELY DETERMINES THE PERSON THEY WILL BECOME. IF ANYTHING, A SOUL IS PERHAPS NOTHING MORE THAN A SET OF LONGITUDE AND LATITUDE COORDINATES. YOUR MIND THEN IS CREATED THROUGH YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH THE COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS, THE NETWORK, EVERYTHING THAT IS EXTERNAL TO YOU, THAT IS, YOUR PERSONALITY, THE VERY ESSENCE OF YOUR BEING IS BORN ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH EXTERNAL FACTORS THAT ARE THEN PROCESSED BY INTERNAL FACTORS SUCH AS INSTINCT. WHEN SUCH FACTORS BECOME INTERNALIZED AND SOLIDIFIED WITHIN THE BRAIN, THAT IS WHEN A HUMAN IS TRULY BORN... AND THAT HUMAN WILL INEVITABLY MAKE MANY DECISIONS IN HIS LIFE, DECISIONS THAT HE BELIEVES HE IS MAKING BY EXERCISING THE POWER OF FREE WILL, HOWEVER, IF HIS MIND IS CONTROLLED ONLY BY EXTERNAL INFLUENCES, ANY CHOICE HIS MIND MAKES IS YET ANOTHER AMALGAMATION OF THESE MYRIAD FACTORS AND ANYTHING THAT RESEMBLES THEM HIS CONCEPT OF FREE WILL, SIMPLY A BYPRODUCT OF THE COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS, OF COURSE, TO MAKE YOURSELF FEEL BETTER, YOU CAN ALWAYS CHANGE WHAT ‘FREE WILL’ IS, ACCEPT THAT WHILE OUR MINDS ARE EXTERNALLY INFLUENCED, AT SOME POINT WE DEVELOP A SOLIDIFIED CONSCIOUSNESS AND PERSONALITY, AND THAT IF WE MAKE DECISIONS BASED ON THEM, THEN THAT IS A CHOICE WE HAVE KEPT TRUE TO OURSELVES... THESE MENTAL GYMNASTICS ARE PROBABLY WHAT MOST PEOPLE DO, BUT THAT OF COURSE IS NOT TRULY FREE WILL AND TO HAVE SUCH A THING WOULD MEAN THAT YOU ARE FUNDAMENTALLY NOT A HUMAN, YOU ARE NOBODY, YOU MAY VERY WELL BE NO THING.
