Still Marginal...

What is the difference between thinking and "having thoughts"...

Active thought and perception...now-ness...

And desires...welling up...wants and patterns...mere programs...

Love, hate, sadness, desire...all coded...all filtered through the muck of my own haphazard neuro-structure...

This knowledge drives some mad...the accident of conditioning...random muck...

As in "choice"...another so-called thought...

I choose this...I want that...

I'm coded to choose/want "this", under "x" conditions, depending upon "y" constraints...decided in nano-seconds from the recesses of the pre-frontal cortical circuitry...

Alternate choices/wants are eliminated before I "think" them...designed by biological/cultural programs...

And yet...

They say there is a way to change this...

To modify, or at least open up the possibilities that the consciousness interacts with...

And it seems to be...
