In danger to make a fool of myself....or an automaton that have no other thoughts in my head, I will give my comments.
for paragraph 1
I wonder if we here get an blend of free will and the will of the community,
The will of the community makes you "into a tiny wheel" of the society you live in, you have to follow certain rules in order to receive payment, food,and so on.
In this case you might say you are an automaton of the society.
BUT if you want to give up the secure....move to a another place....live by other rules....away from mankind....no one will stop you.
Now you can say, in order to survive, you have to hunt....you have to drink....you have to sleep....ergo you are a automaton that have to do the same task every day to stay alive.......
Ludwig Holberg (1684-1754) wrote a play back in 1722 named Erasmus Montanus that dealt with conclusions of simplicity, from many of the learned student of the time.
It goes you take two known factors and put them up against another and from that you mace a conclusion.
His more known is how he makes his mother into a stone..since a stone can't fly and neither his mother they have to be equal and both be a stone.
Another funny one is....It's healthy to consume alcohol, because alcohol make you sleep and if you sleep you don't sin.
So my conclusion must be....in order to stamp us as automaton by looking at our behaviour, is the way of Erasmus Montanus....way to simple
2) Poor shrink....have anyone told them that they might stop what they are doing?
How do they manage to lead their patient back to childhood if there is no memory?
Has anyone told it to the police, in every criminal I see, they always ask the suspect what he did way back, and if he don't remember they think he hide something.
Of course we don't go around remember everything, we learn, we sort and we use the collected information in such a way that only the important stuff is used.
Has none of you had an old grand pa as me....here we have a saying about old people... they go into childhood....they don't see as much what happen around them today but they remember each summer and good things from their childhood >70 years back
Well I shall not take them all....I just had to get this out of my chest.....if Tesla's ideas was so great, why do we hide them....why haven't any known scientist pursued this path....we are alway eager to explain the human.
As a last word :
Your statement : The eyes transmits the true and accurate likeness of external things.
This might so be.....but what your mind tells you might be different from human to human....what the picture tells each human is the information stored in our brain about that object....and if no information is stored....they don't know what they are looking at
