2/Two Monkeys in a Field

Chapter One

As far as we know, we live inside of a squishy box called reality. It walls are malleable, but never breakable. At least as far as we know.

As far as we know, you and I, we have physical bodies, using which we perambulate. You walk to the kitchen to fetch a can of Coca Cola (TM) from the fridge, you open the fridge using your hand, and you open the can’s mouth using your fingers. Once you transfer all of the soda into your body through an opening in your face and now you are the can of Coca Cola.
Nearly everything we touch in the world is not as self aware as we are.

We are surrounded by inorganic matter. Non-self aware objects that aid or impede us in our journey, as we fumble along on the earth, aware that the primary, perhaps only, real differences between us and a fridge or a can of soda, is that we can move seemingly of our own volition, and we are aware when we drink something refreshing.

We are organic beings, in an organic world.

Question:

How would a human being operate if they had no free will and were simply like a machine.
