Just pulling your leg friend. I have not read your O P.
The "Why am I me" was a thread started by another basically dealing with 'I think, therefore I am, but what am I'.

Am I reading you right?
Unanswered issues does not mean that you do not have the free will to pursue those issues and answer them.
I am still on the bench on free will. If free will is a product of the body, how can it be 'free'? If free will is external to the biochemical physiology, then what is it's container? For that matter, what is the container of our awareness?
If we have 'free will', then we have already "exceeded the [known] bounds of nature and physics".
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
