> > David but I feel in full control. -> Romansh: 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? -Yes, but my awareness does not stop me from running my consciousness. What you just wrote above is exactly the meaning you wanted to convey.

> I may think the iconic London double decker bus is red, but physics and physiology tell me otherwise, or that it is very unlikely.-But you and I will agree the buses are 'red', even though the retina and the occipital cortex go through biochemical contortions to convince us.

> Romansh: 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.-We cannot have first degree awareness using a biologic system.
