We had a special guest today in our dialogue, Chris Lingle. We started out by telling him what the MPC is all about and our rubrics, amongst other stuff.
We mostly talked about chapter 6. Starting out by how consciousness works as a spontaneous order. None of us really had a choice to have a consciousness or not, and if there is an actual purpose for it?
We also talked about how we are hard-wired with preferences, so we really don't have free will. We believe that we are really choosing things, but we are really not because all of those inclinations and preferences come with us. So do we really have free will? Wilson says that because he mind can't be fully known and predicted, one believes that we have free will. Wilson also believes that if we find the truth about the mind, it will deteriorate us and slow us down.
The last thing we talked about was memory. If one has no memory, one is not capable of making decisions. What are the limits to human action without memory? Without memory we wouldn't really be able to tell reality.
