i don’t believe in free will so i’m not certain we control much of anything. i’ve always thought of myself as the only supervisor in the panopticon that is me. i can observe and understand and process and form connections, but choices are made for me at the subconscious level before i am even aware of them. as the supervisor i can influence the operation of the panopticon but i cannot control it. i obtain information based on experiences and use logic and reasoning to take it apart.

anyway, fuck my dumb brain. that dude sucks.

I don't think anyone is in control of their brain. Ever tried to decide what your next thought was going to be? They arise as a consequence of conditions, not from volition.

Edit: grammar
