It’s cute that you people think you control your actions.
But the consciousness—the part of you that you think of as your self—is really just describing decisions and actions to you after some deeper part of you has made them. The consciousness can affect some control, but it’s not “in” control. Think about it. How many times have you told yourself, “Tomorrow, I am going to go for a 30 minute run.” But when the time to run comes, some deeper part of you says, “Fuck that.” Consciousness is constantly thwarted by other components of your mind and body that you have little to no control over.
