Weird. Your comment came through just fine. I see your thought on emergence of self. Almost like self is equivalent to consciousness. Without a notion of self, you are part of a larger system with will. Stemming the claim that there is no free will, I know the argument, but don't agree to it as what we observe (that people make choices at least some of the time) goes against claimed theory (that our choices are random chemistry-driven outcomes based on state of the world). I'm not terribly deep in the area, though, and welcome correction or thoughts.
