The illusion of free will

I wonder what crazy fucker gave me my opinions and knowledge. Maybe after they taught me everything I know, they brainwashed me into believing I came up with it myself.

Everything we know has been taught to us? I guess pioneers must be getting their knowledge secretly.

Aliens, I'm sure of it. They told me.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Read your comments and I take my hat off to you. You're points were sound. I wasn't trying to claim credit for anyone else's work just attempting to explain something which admittedly was out of my understanding to describe. What I meant by what I said was rather that we are taught knowledge and then developments are made by building upon previous knowledge. However we start off with no knowledge and thus are educated to the point were we can then begin educating others and perhaps make further developments in our field of study.

It was so nice of you to take the time to respond to all of my post. Thank you Smile. I am impressed Violet Lilly Blossom. I respect that you took the time to correct my errors and educate me.
