You know I been kind of resisting for a few months at answering Og's self-denial, robot thing for awhile now but I think I am ready I think... I think. While I understand that we are beginning to be able to manipulate the mind like a toy, Og has expanded on this on more than one occasion. The statements he makes are fantastically dismal for that of Free Will as they should be. But just because we can r soon can manipulate the human mind doesn't necessarily mean we should do it.
What IF... What if... the way we are naturally born is the closest we come to free will. Now we can manipulate the body because it is a tool. We can manipulate the brain in ways that are not drastic to the basic will of the possessor. IF the way the mind flows like a computer on it's own accord, annhilating a consciousness well it becomes a lack of freedom we had before. Maybe the mind was never meant to be manipulated but ran like it was originally designed. That is the spiritual will remained intact. If we destroy it by manipulating the matter flow... Free Will is lost or our semblance as best created is lost. For me the argument of Free Will is still up for grabs. Did this make any sense? It refutes Og's blanket statements but really the intention simply is to find the actual Truth!
