I understand that I make judgments based on my past experiences and my current desires, and I understand that chemical reactions are used by the brain,-Good-> but I feel in full control. 
I do to, but I don't actually think this is the case. For starters, are you aware of the various competing processes that have surfaced to your consciousness that let you think you have full control? -> You may think it is an illusion, but I don't.
I may think the iconic London double decker bus is red, but physics and physiology tell me otherwise, or that it is very unlikely. -I would argue that we have no way knowing whether we have full control. In fact claiming full control denies a whole range of subliminal influences that we succumb to and this "full control" we feel is plainly a falsehood.-Happy 4th July
And a belated happy 23rd April
