[QUOTE="Bradskii, post: 77661436, member: 412388"] I've given some. Scientific conclusions on the effects of maternal conditions during pregnancy on foetal development. Effects of upbringing. ACE scores and the fact that they can be used determine the likelihood of problems in later life. Blood sugar levels affecting decision making. Poor diet affecting development. Education giving you more opportunities. The culture into which you are born affecting how you react to different situations. And this is just scratching the surface of physiological determinants. There are literally an infinite number of events that end up determining what we choose. One seemingly nondescript example earlier was me breaking a guitar string leading to what I had for breakfast following day. There was a direct link. If I hadn't broken it I would have decided to have what was readily available. I wouldn't have decided to drive to to another suburb to get something different. There is literally nothing you decide to do that isn't based on some reason. Which is caused by prior conditions. Unless you make a random decision. Or unless there is some other 'you' making the call independent of what you have experienced and independent on who you actually are. And that doesn't even begin to make any sense. [/QUOTE]
