Information and free will (Introduction)
You know, it seems that the brain itself acts very much like a combination hard drive and cpu in a computer. It can store for retrieval, and can even be used to store scripts that automate certain tasks. The question though, is who is using it. A computer, even though it is capable of operating in semi-autonomy, is not an autonomous machine. At some point, it requires a user. Now, just like if a sector of your hard drive is gone, or on block of RAM is bad, or perhaps your keyboard is missing a few keys, when there is some fault in the computer, the user can not use it effectively. This does not necessitate any actual fault on the user. - Neither my body nor my brain are "ME". They are not the best body and brain, but it is absolutely amazing what I can do with not-top-of-the-line equipment ;)
