Without without that ability we are nothing more than animals reacting to stimuli. I refuse to accept that

     RE: I can't recommend this book enough - Emmanuel Goldstein MU - 7/21 13:07:33
          I'll watch that later - cnk ATL - 7/21 13:09:14
     Sounds like Sammy wants to justify a guilty conscience - JG MU - 7/21 13:00:53
          Why do you think that?(nm) - cnk ATL - 7/21 13:07:57
               JG pays good money to have - Ferg STL - 7/21 13:17:09
                    LOL completely false - JG MU - 7/21 13:20:38
                    Over $10,000 for cult counseling - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/21 13:18:32
                         LOL Completely false - JG MU - 7/21 13:21:02
               According to you, he says he can't control his - JG MU - 7/21 13:14:26
                    I didn't ask the right question - cnk ATL - 7/21 13:17:51
                         Let him explain how he can control unconscious thought(nm) - Emmanuel Goldstein MU - 7/21 13:18:46
                              Done - JG MU - 7/21 13:21:42
                    Nor can you.(nm) - Emmanuel Goldstein MU - 7/21 13:16:44
                         You can't controlt THAT you have unconscious thoughts - JG MU - 7/21 13:19:43
                              Please tell me how you can control UNCONSCIOUS - Emmanuel Goldstein MU - 7/21 13:22:41
                                   I just did - JG MU - 7/21 13:25:30
                                        In no way did you.(nm) - Emmanuel Goldstein MU - 7/21 13:26:32
                                             OK let me help you out with an example - JG MU - 7/21 13:29:04
                                                  That is an incorrect conclusion. Your conscious mind - Emmanuel Goldstein MU - 7/21 13:37:30
                                                       Your conscious mind does not make any choice - cnk ATL - 7/21 13:40:02
                                                            Yes.. it is an illusion. But JG seems to have a problem - Emmanuel Goldstein MU - 7/21 13:44:19
                                                                 Its not me having the problem here - JG MU - 7/21 13:47:07
                                                                      You cannot prevent the unconscious thought. You have - Emmanuel Goldstein MU - 7/21 13:47:52
                                                                           You keep saying something I have already agreed to - JG MU - 7/21 13:54:53
                                                                                You are missing the most important part.(nm) - Emmanuel Goldstein MU - 7/21 13:57:35
                                                                                     No - JG MU - 7/21 14:01:18
                                                            That is total nonsense - JG MU - 7/21 13:43:58
                                                                 You do think about choices that are made - cnk ATL - 7/21 13:48:41
                                                                      Again that makes no sense - JG MU - 7/21 13:53:57
                                                                           All thought arises from unconsciousness - cnk ATL - 7/21 13:58:47
                                                                                Nonsense - JG MU - 7/21 14:02:58
                                                                           The choices you are aware of are limited by unconscious - Emmanuel Goldstein MU - 7/21 13:56:28
                                                                                Sometimes choices have many more options - JG MU - 7/21 13:58:03
                                                                                     Again, you keep reaching conclusions never stated. - Emmanuel Goldstein MU - 7/21 13:59:32
                                                                                          LOL what? - JG MU - 7/21 14:02:30
                                                                                               People make the right choice frequently - cnk ATL - 7/21 14:04:23
                                                                 Again you are making false assumptions. If I my fingers off - Emmanuel Goldstein MU - 7/21 13:47:09
                                                                      So if you learn something, you are still not in control - JG MU - 7/21 13:56:50
                                                                           You are not and never will be in control of unconscious - Emmanuel Goldstein MU - 7/21 13:58:37

                                                                                     Thanks for taking the time to discuss it - cnk ATL - 7/21 14:07:34
                                                                                I'm realizing I've used misleading terminology - cnk ATL - 7/21 14:00:45
                                                                                     Right. I am trying to get JG aware that he does not control - Emmanuel Goldstein MU - 7/21 14:04:22
                                                                                          Agreed, I think making that distinction of what consciousnes - cnk ATL - 7/21 14:06:01
                                                       THAT can then be CONTROLLED by conscious thought - JG MU - 7/21 13:39:42
                                                            No. You cannot control the unconscious thought. Your - Emmanuel Goldstein MU - 7/21 13:42:24
                                                                 I agree with that to an extent - JG MU - 7/21 13:45:53
                                                                      You are talking about conscious thought, that - Emmanuel Goldstein MU - 7/21 13:50:02
                                                                           From learning, intellect, moraltiy, etc - JG MU - 7/21 13:59:31
                                                                                It does not. Your unconscious mind processes information - Emmanuel Goldstein MU - 7/21 14:02:04
                                                            All thought arises from unconsciousness(nm) - cnk ATL - 7/21 13:40:47
                                                                 OK - I have no problems accepting that - JG MU - 7/21 13:42:10
                                                                      The "you" that you identify with is your concsiouness - cnk ATL - 7/21 13:45:42
