The Secret of Predestination

> I don't have free will.

< You chose to say that.

> I am a mere toy of causality, a slave of influences I coincide across.

< Whether or not that is true is irrelevant. What matters is the influence upon your action.

> But I'd rather be a victim.

What's the difference between perception you can see, and perception you cannot? < Just because you know how seeing something feels in one defined area does not mean you can copypaste it into a different arbitrary "area".  > Then what's feeling? What's seeing? It's all just nerve stimulations. < ...

The Woods Surrounding Empathy

 > Why are people scared by bugs? < I think it comes down to empathy. If you can't really put your head into them, you don't like them. > Like how spiders?  < Exactly - they're very different anatomically.  > Seems like a nice way to live. < But now I have to dodge the roaches while I walk.
