but why do you say the idea is bullshit? i can't imagine it existing any other way. where is it the impulse to read it came from? or the impulse to respond? it had to have come into being through a process. what defines that process? my point is that nothing can exist unless it's governed by it's definition. we do not think. thought happens on it's own. our material and senses create the perception that gets to see the thought come to life. but that's all. we as a single entity have nothing to do with it. we have nothing to do with anything really. we're just an experience. just a perception. everything that happens, outside of your body and inside(emotions and thoughts) are just chain reactions that have nothing to do with you. if you can even call yourself "you"
