humans are buildings, and just like buildings have plumbing and wire, humans live not alone: we have a huge number of parasites in our intestines and a large number of ideas in our brains that join us in our journey. i wonder how much of our actions are actually our own, and how many are caused by our circumstances.

You might like the book Determined by Robert Sapolsky. It’s very dense and I haven’t gotten far into it yet but it’s about the science of free will.
