       I was asked if I have free will. Underlying that question is the assumption that there is an "I" which is not the same thing as "my will" (which will either be "free" or "not free").But of course I am one man, not a me and a body and a will and a mind and a spirit and a soul and a nature and etc. etc. etc. Just me.JUST ME AND "BOB".:jrbd: https://subgenius.com

       @ninapaley It appears that J. R. "Bob" Dobbs lacks anything that we might identify as "agency" or "self-awareness." He is a pure sales force with post-human luck powers. He's always closing the deal — something to keep in mind if the "hints" and "clues" indicate he is nearby. He'll be profiting from whatever is happening, because it just so happens that "by chance" it will be exactly what he wanted to have happen. The SubGenius gets the crumbs from that banquet.

       @onan @onan trillions Illusory identities aside I reckon a sliding scale would workbetter than a simple yes/no re: the question of Free Will. It might even  make more sense that way- clear up at least some of the confusion.  reminded, vaguely, of an article by RAWhttp://www.rawillumination.net/2012/02/i-robot-by-robert-anton-wilson.html?m=1

       @onan There is no such thing as free will, but send a SASE and $14.99 and I’ll send you a three-month supply of will.

       @dogzilla @onan I do understand your position on this, an truthfully, I now realize that I need to do more research on this topic myself, at least before I can fairly speak about it to others and for $1.00 (USD, CAN, rai stones) I can dance around you wearing a metal garbage can with arm holes proclaiming, 'I am from space!' while throwing firecrackers on the ground.
