Even if I could perfectly predict your actions based on your brain activity, and perfectly manipulate them by virtue of manipulating your brain, why would it matter? You are your brain. If your brain is controlling you, you are controlling you. I tend to stray away from these conversations because nothing is really meaningful. It seems like we just go around in circles playing word games as opposed to any real important reasoning. If I had a machine that could alter my brain states, and then my actions as a result, I would be pretty happy I guess. --- let's positive thinking [tell me about a complicated man] <cite>MedeaLysistrata posted [p:905469468] in Causality ...
