Having slept through most of history classes in school, now this one is poised to demand I stay up at night. I see my history is finally catching up to me. Well, I will catch up on it too.

"Having a gun to your head is still a problem worth rectifying, wherever intentions come from." I agree; but the physical action of rectification must still be backed by a voluntary thought. Our thought. That specific thought. If it's not then why mustn't it mean that our thoughts are like Schrödinger's cat: that we simply don't, and can't, know what state it will present itself in. Yet we are not lunatics. O.K. Most

O.K. So if we can't deny responsibility for our intentions because it belongs to us subconsciously--since it originated in our brain, then can't we also claim the same for free-will: that our thoughts and intentions originate in our brain, thus it belongs to us. I might have confused myself here because I have come to a bizarre conclusion: there is free-will but it doesn't belong to us.
