I began to realize something, as I reflected on something someone told me. I asked a simple question how does one, (namely me) gain a larger amount of focus. You know gain that extra bit of discipline in order to allow for work on the various projects I enjoy doing. I came to realize something about myself, namely that being around people helps drain my self control reserves. I have a bunch of self control when I'm alone, listening to music blare, or in utter silence. When I start to hear someone...

And now because no one asked for it and I'm slightly bored. The Book of Nym volume 3 Will go after the notion that we in fact have no reason to believe anything we see. (I could just simply say go read Descartes with the whole cogito ergo sum dealeo. But I figure if I'm gonna mention it might as well give a summary of the whole deal.)

You see, once you acknowledge that evolution works for everything biological. The next step is too assume that all human behavior, whether a result of biology, or society can be explained and thus has no basis for free will. You see free will would require things too just happen for no reason what so ever. Be uncaused causations, if they weren't the choice wasn't really yours too start with.
