Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourself, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous and talented? Who are you NOT to be?

everything that we do is done to satisfy our primary drives for survival being, food, warmth, shelter, love and support. our actions may not be immediately obvious as to falling into these categories but with a little analysis they do.
all of our behaviours are learnt as children through positive and negative reinforcement, so do u actually do anything by your own "free will" or is everything just learned responses based on your primal drives? If you think that you are more than just a robot my question i swhy and what is it that you think that you can do that a robot can not?
All the freaky people make the beauty of the world.

According to anarchist philosophy we, in our heart of hearts, want to do the right thing all the time. What prevents us from doing this is CAPITALISM!! And all the other isms that come with it - particulary racism and sexism.

Instead: Do you know what your primal drives are? Are they choices you've made? And what does it take to control them?"

Firstly, your tone seems to imply that being 'just' a robot is in someway a bad thing.

I would argue that if it was established that we are 'just' robots, then it's nothing to get upset by, all the aspects of being human we value, such as insight, compassion, creativity etc will still stand.

An action born of free will is one that is completely determined by the mind state of the do-er- part of what it is to be a living, thinking, free individual is a consistency of behaviour that defines who that individual is.
