>>1734634Pffff... Why does it matter?
>Can change something through force of will? might still be in my head, or maybe I'm just exerting influence on external realitynot to mention that even then you can get into the whole "illusion of control" thing.
>>1734898Doesn't matter, the experience of a script, even if you have no influence on it means that some aspect of a "self" is existing to have "experience"/sensation/sentience whatever the fuck you wanna call it.
Whether we actually have the potential to manipulate our own thought patterns, and if external reality is real, and if we can influence it (mind/body question) is another issue entirely.
But you can be sure that your consciousness exists, and therefore YOU exist in one way or another.
