The above^^ seems to be reasonably accurate information. The question that the above brings to mind is, If the above is true, how can there be any free will? After all, aren't free will decisions based on the reception of info from wherever, and isn't free will simply a reaction to that info?

The next question is, Since there isn't any free will, because all decision making is entirely based on information and stimuli from without and within, who or what has caused the stimuli to be what it is? After all, the stimuli had something that caused it to exist, as well, right?

EDIT: An even more profound question is, Since whatever caused the stimuli to exist as it does, also has caused it to bring to mind the above questions. So, why does the stimuli want us to realize that it exists to stimulate us into asking such questions as these?

The Subconscious mind notices things, passes information, etc.  that most simpletons are completely unaware of.  Some drugs can increase awareness of this.  One aspect of this deals with jealousy towards the talented.  In general anyone that's is roughly, depending on diversity, 1/1000 talent possibly lower will start to see the effects.  Commoners will dislike these people and will usually always have some or another fake reason, a rationalization, as they are unaware of the truth.  Anyone who is 1/100,000 or better talent will be in particular danger.  One of the main reasons that people who are well liked tend to be stupid or near average commoners.  Subconscious information and it's spread occurs at a higher level than normal info.
