They fit by not contradicting each other. Love and free will can be completely deterministic but feel like things of our own volition from our limited perspective. Experience being the observed and the observer is basically the way that a computer file's contents are a combination of the binary code and a program that interprets it.

Well, it has to do with the hardware as well. Look at the bifurcated structure of the Pentium chip.

I, I, I, I, I.... Can't you say something else, about something else, don't you, ever, get tired of analyzing all this I I stuff?

How does love , the absence of free will and that experience is the observed and the observer in the present moment continually fit together ?

That is the nature of reality .

You are just perceiving.

True, which applies for the biological observer as well. I was just showing how it's non-contradictory to determinism since it's a given that computers are deterministic.

How would this perception be different if you were assembled piece-by-piece, instantaneously, to sense and think those things in the same way?

Pointless it is.. But hey, it's more fun to live the life of complete pointlessness... :D

I actually agree. I think it'd be more depressing to live a life with a set purpose rather than to be able to choose your own. Essentially, you're your own purpose.

 Why do you think the point of your life is to observe, Tom?

Those who can, do.

 I will be answering questions on my thread what are we. Here I'll purely document what I see when I am aware. 

Please feel free though to comment on proceedings. 

Thank you.

The point of my life is observation because observation is what my life is . I observe my thoughts , feelings and behaviours . I observe that I exist . I observe that I love .
