[From Rick Marken (930517.1400)]
What a thrill to be able to completely agree with every-
thing Greg Williams (930517) said. After all, he's sending
me those big royalty checks (I spent the last one on an
ice cream cone -- it was before I got myself into the great
CSG figure contest).
I'm completely with Greg on the free will discussion; if there
is free will (whatever that is) it's not in the PCT model as I
know it.
Greg says:
I think it is important ETHICALLY to
have a well-tested theory that I am not the sole creator of the universe
I perceive. Some who believe THEY create it ALL will have no qualms
about attempting to DESTROY it all.
I think Berkeley thought it was god who created our experience for
us; so even though there was no boss reality, there was a boss. I
have no idea why some people don't like the assumption that there
is a boss reality -- maybe it is a religious thing?
Best
