I like how you worded that. "unwilling to give away
  responsibility". I think that's the key for me as well. I don't
  care if I turned out to be a meat robot with a computer chip in
  the head or whatever ppl wanna say. Still me and my choices.
  They wanna call it an illusion they can go right ahead. I enjoy
  having responsibility for my choices, however they turn out. ==
  I let others have the freedom to be responsible for their own
  actions just as I try to be with my own. If they choose routes
  that _I_ wouldn't consider responsible, well, that's still their
  choice, their responsibility and it's not my job to hold them
  accountable for it. I mean, sometimes it is, but usually it's
  not. "I did this" is my choice. Someone else wants to say,
  "Random Did it" or "Wheels within Wheels Made Me Do it"... well,
  they can if they like too. ==
