    Yes, we are "biochemical puppets." But some puppets are filled with wisdom and compassion. @paulbloomatyalehttp://bit.ly/1bnrisR

        @SamHarrisOrg It seems to me that with mind/body dualism dismantled, people fall back on an awkward, untenable 'you/biochemistry' dualism.

        @SamHarrisOrg @paulbloomatyale it seems there is an epistemic problem that arises with the puppet. If puppet, how knowledge?

        @atheist_zen was the cause of your question a true belief? How could you know that for sure? All thoughts are effects of prior condition.

        @Chriscrasscross Yes thoughts are causally manifested. "Prior" suggests a confusion about the nature of time. See: https://medium.com/the-physics-arxiv-blog/d5d3dc850933 …

        @SamHarrisOrg @paulbloomatyale We aren't biochemical puppets. Puppetry suggests the existence of a puppeteer. We are biochemical. That's all

        @SamHarrisOrg @paulbloomatyale Don't quite understand - do you say that all our behaviour is authored by an unconscious mechanism?

        @SamHarrisOrg It's funny, but the puppet thing doesn't bug me. I find it a relief when bad things happen. Kinda' like, it is what it is.

        @SamHarrisOrg @paulbloomatyale It's also largely, if not wholly, a pedantic distinction without a real difference -- an illusory delusion.

        @SamHarrisOrg @paulbloomatyale Unfortunately, I think if you cleave the two, you're minimally too clever by half, perhaps even disingenuous.
