(April 16, 2018 at 8:42 pm)Hammy Wrote: My favorite Einstein quotation:

"If the moon, in the act of completing its eternal way around the earth, were gifted with self-consciousness, it would feel thoroughly convinced that it was traveling its way of its own accord…. So would a being, endowed with higher insight and more perfect intelligence, watching man and his doings, smile about man’s illusion that he was acting according to his own free will" - Albert Einstein

Einstein was a Spinozist. Not many people are aware of that. Fun fact. (And it is made clear by Hammy's quote, which is why I brought it up.)
