[QUOTE="Bradskii, post: 77661357, member: 412388"] Not the way you are presenting your argument. There's the 'you' that is the sum total of all the characteristics that are the cumulative results of everything that has affected you in getting to this point. But then there seems to be another 'you' that is able to make decisions that can [I]ignore [/I]everything that led you to that point. That operates in some way entirely independent of the other guy. You've not given any indication of how this can happen, other than to say 'Well, I just decide. It's my free will'. You have been given umpteen examples of what leads us to make decisions, the reasons for them being made. But you haven't given us any reason why you'd do this. Except to say that it's what you really prefer. Which exactly what I've been saying from the very first post. We do what we prefer to do. [/QUOTE]
