    We laugh, but the concept of independent thought is a relatively new one in human history. Until just a few hundred years ago, humans generally attributed the thoughts in their own heads to the Gods. If you had a problem, and conceived a solution, God provided that solution, you didn’t think of it yourself.

        There’s bi-cameral mind theory, but it’s all very much speculative. I saw a well amde video on that topic, but it’s very hard to believe it to be true!

      I mean, how is that fundamentally different from a deterministic universe? No one can disprove the thoughts in our heads come from a giant rube goldberg machine.
