"When we turn our attention to our own minds, we are faced with trying to understand an unimaginable advanced technology. We can't possibly know (let alone keep track of) the tremendous number of mechanical influences on our behavior because we inhabit an extraordinarily complicated machine. So we develop a shorthand, a belief in the causal efficay of our conscious thoughts. We believe in the magic of our own causal agency." --The Illusion of Conscious Will
I don't know who I am, I don't know where i'm going, and I don't know where to start to answer any of these questions.
