What's nihilistic about that? We're all crawling with parasites, doesnt
mean we aren't interesting, fun people. If the end product is the same, who
cares if it's motivated by free will? I don't mind being part of a billion

agent. Actually I find the latter idea a bit more liberating. Like the man
said, we may be out of the trees, but we sure as hell aren't out of the
woods.
