    We basically are. We’re biological pattern recognising machines, where inputs influence everything.

    The only difference is somehow our electricity has decided it’s got free will.

      well that decides it, gods are real and we’re their chat gpt, all our creations are just responses to their prompts lmao

      it’s wild though, i’ve heard that we don’t really have free will but i guess i’m personally mixed on it as i haven’t really looked that into it/thought much about it. it intuitively makes sense to me, though. that we wouldn’t, i mean, really have free will. i mean we’re just big walking colonies of micro-organisms, right? what is me, what is them? – idk where i’m going with this
