@jeffberwick, Hi I have thought about this for last couple of years, how everything we do everything we thought most of our reactions that are supposed to be based on our 'free will', are actually plagued by commercial influences that are bombarding us anywhere we turn, from childhood cartoons to news we are honestly forced to read because they are literally everywhere around us, and this circumstances are in my opinion shaping our consciousness subconsciousnessly, because our brain is absorbing everything around us without us actually being aware of it at the moment, and when the time comes to make a decision that decision must be partially influnced by parts of what our brain has recently absorbed, and this can be called an 'opstructed freedom', so when you posted this topic here I would like to ask you, do you actually step away from these mind-attacks, if yes how
