Gary is Dead

I have been going through old work emails and found this. I deserve to be jobless. (I deleted the senders name, but you know who you are.)


Mike,
I am going to kill Gary.  I simply cannot put up with him any more. He does nothing but insult me and tell me how wrong I am doing.  I bite my tongue but soon I think I am just going to give him a piece of my mind.

Warm regards,
Mike

Or better, a goat in a pickup heading for a quinceanera debating Schrödinger with the

“…Some say it's just a part of it We've got to fulfill the book.” B. Marley Before I completely run away from the point, the subject of this essay is free will, or, more accurately, the illusion of free will. It will be interesting to see if free will even comes up laterally over the next few hundred words now that I’ve set it up as a specific goal.  The imp of the perverse makes it a sure thing that I won’t – but that surety might also double back and force  me to stay on point. There are no dogs to pick  in this fight and it’s not a fight,  and if I’m right, none of this is anything but documentation for a litigious god that will never see it. Like quantum mechanics, life is about either time or place, never both, and how we choose to pretty up our choices is neither the point, or even a choice – it’s after the fact punctuation we use to justify and make sense of our ontological messiness.  (Science has proven that we decide things with our body before the brain
