James, it's a long story. But decisions are taken by people, cats, lizards, ants and worms. Most people don't ascribe free-will to anything other than people, yet it is evident that decisions and choices are made by any simple animal. This can be confirmed by simple observation. But these are not decisions in the sense of out of the blue magic from nowhere - they are memory and brain wiring derived.

Watch yourself think. You won't find your decisons are free-willed - you run through a process of thinking then get tired or something else happens which forces "the decision". You just have better processes and more to think about than a cat or dolphin.

Now I'm tired so I shall leave this lizard's cave for more profitable pastures. Johny did not teach me "his" mathematical construct for animals, he has simply repeated my own thinking process. Our and their brains are integrating devices, which record, process and dump out again according to very boringly predictable processes.

Johny for example makes continual attempts to insult. He is so stupid that he is unable to see his predestination to continue doing so. He repeats his inane behaviour like a robot which is what he is.

He is also so stupid that he is unable to spell quite simple words. He is also obsessed with one of his very simplistic biological functions, confirming his relegation to the ranks of rabbits who must compulsively copulate.

His "lovemaking" is no doubt as robotic as his mind.
jfred has forked him.
