00:00Predict yourself.
00:01The more you see how predictable you are, the more you see how mechanical you are.
00:06Because only machines can be predicted.
00:07Only machines can be programmed.
00:09If you can predict your behavior, your reactions in advance, then you know that you are just
00:14a lump of chemicals, hormones, circuits.
00:18And that's not what consciousness is.
00:20Consciousness is supposed to be free, right?
00:22An electric circuit is not free.
00:25Chemical reactions are not free.
00:27Sodium and potassium cannot decide whether to react with water.
00:30They are constrained to react.
00:32Do you want to be just a chemical?
00:33A chemical that is obliged to act in certain ways?
00:36Where is freedom then?
00:37Predict yourself.
00:38Predict yourself and then defy the prediction.
00:41So I was supposed to be angry.
00:42I didn't get angry.
00:431-0.
00:44Self-1.
00:45Hormones-0.
00:46So keep the score.
00:47Hormones are imbalanced.
00:48You are dysfunctional.
00:49So the hormones are imbalanced.
00:51I am not imbalanced.
00:52I am not my body.
00:53So how can I be the hormones?
