Mind Blown

This entire year has literally been mind blowing. I walk away from every class with my mind literally blown out of my head. Learning about classical and operant conditioning just strengthened that mind blowing. We don't think for ourselves. That's essentially the truth. We learn from a young age to associate things with reward and from there on out our responses come naturally. What happened to free will? According to Behaviorists who refuse to deal with Cognition, we don't really have free will. Our brain does everything for us, without us even wanted it to. But then I wonder, where are my thoughts coming from? There must be some external force that drives me to be me. Is it my soul? Let's learn about this!
