Free Will

[CaptainBubba]

Your reasoning is still the result of genetic makeup and all the events that have transgressed to affect your reasoning process. Setting youself on fire is still an act which can be defended by "reason" as reason is relative.

And for all you know you could be a genetic mutation of human that has a propensoty for being emmersed in flame.

If you want to study human instinct I suggest you picked up "The Blank Slate". Its an excellent read for those interested in true human nature.
