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.

00:44Self-1.

00:45Hormones-0.

00:46So keep the score.

00:47Hormones are imbalanced.

00:51I am not imbalanced.

00:52I am not my body.

00:53So how can I be the hormones?
