Thomas? Can I speak to the host that's invaded your body?
I want to ask it if it believes in dualism?

No True Scotsman would believe anything that scrub John has to say.

Alex K,

Do you think you can prove I haven't got freewill ?

If you continue like that I may choose not to answer you, because I may think it's not to our advantage.

Neurological research has shown that choice is an elaborate illusion constructed by the brain to ensure a consistent and continuous narrative of the self.

Whether you answer me is of no importance. The answer is important, as is the question.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Cthulhu Dreaming,

Do you think love is a drug or goodwill is a drug or do you think my words are a drug ?

Alex K,

--Neurological research has shown that choice is an elaborate illusion constructed by the brain to ensure a consistent and continuous narrative of the self.--

Do you consider yourself a slave then ?

--Whether you answer me is of no importance. The answer is important, as is the question.--

Thanks for the comparison, a new one for me.

Being a slave usually means being forced to labor according to the will of another. I might be a slave to my subconscious.

Speaking for myself, I am NOT a slave. The leg irons are simply fashion accessories.

Alex K,

Those were powerful words, a fine example of figurative/talking in similarities which may show someone the advantage in using them sometimes to other people for their advantage.

If you said I don't know all my mind but I want to, do you think that proves you have freewill ?

Alex K,

You may think that the definition is partly beyond words but a good way to define it, is the power to choose.
