A commentary on the final remarks of "BBC Horizon - Thinking"

"if the mind was a computer
then the freedom of the will would be an illusion

[i.e. the will of the will is an illusion of the will ... true]

we wouldn't really think for ourselves
[false, not implied, false dichotomy: the illusion of freedom of will is compatible with thinking for oneself, yet another illusion of the will]
but we do
[think for ourselves that is, illusory or not, it is true by definition]
and instead exactly what thinking is
remains to be seen"

It's an illusion, you see ...

Stare at the walnut in the middle, and see the colors of bergamot and darjeeling appear where they don't belong.
