oots in intellect, in cognition and memory in abstraction dominated by limbic process<br />

imprisons even the most intellectual <strong>of</strong> “will”.<br />

Free-Will is then dependent on a science that is itself free and freeing in “will”. A science that<br />

is itself freed in cognition and memory <strong>of</strong> all limbic dominance, that makes a priority <strong>of</strong> freeing<br />

us all through an ever evolving abstraction and objectivity in memory and cognition, in<br />

research and theory. Such a science gives us the objective tools through which to deconstruct<br />

all dominance <strong>of</strong> limbic paleo-logic, all dominance <strong>of</strong> meme and imitative memory.<br />

In combining these ideas I give special importance to linkage, to the transparent or opaque<br />

kinds <strong>of</strong> cognition, semantics and conceptual relationships within which linkage can occur.<br />

I argue that however expedient or better-safe-than-sorry the linkage limbic-cognition is, it is in<br />

its transparency in process, stored as it is in the nervous system circuitry, able to contain little if<br />

any opaqueness and therefore abstraction in cognition. As such it is open to all kinds <strong>of</strong> error<br />

within the narrow corridor <strong>of</strong> truth in cognition the limbic is. There is no distinguishing <strong>of</strong> fact<br />

from fiction, as the octopus certainly could not distinguish within the teddy bear experiment.<br />

A free-will in intellect would have deciphered the danger as the laboratory technician and not<br />

the teddy bear.<br />

The point here is that we Sapiens Sapiens with all our bio-brain-system evolution in<br />

prefontalness, with all our potential in cognition, in linkage that is abstract-cognitive dominant,<br />

we despite that potential create cultures within which we are acculturated to cognize as if our<br />

potential in cognition did not exceed that <strong>of</strong> the octopus.<br />

The problem with our acquiring large stores <strong>of</strong> memory out <strong>of</strong> limbic-linkage, is that so much<br />

<strong>of</strong> it organizes itself around the dis-information and error inherent to the bias <strong>of</strong> its retributive<br />

logic in emotional-bodyfeltness. Especially when such bias in logic seeks to manipulate, control<br />

and exploit. Keep in mind that limbic-memory is conditioned in many subtle and cruel-abusive<br />

ways within the amygdala, hippocampus, hypothalamus, somatics <strong>of</strong> meaning-relationships<br />

dominated by memory in retributive-bias.<br />

The foundation <strong>of</strong> this process is <strong>of</strong> course cultural, and is driven by an acculturation that<br />

begins in the environment <strong>of</strong> the womb which speaks to the quality <strong>of</strong> life experienced and biochemically-<br />

remembered by the mother. It is these bio-chemical memories as they are tainted<br />

by pollutants and trauma, that Lipton in his theory <strong>of</strong> the Biology <strong>of</strong> Consciousness, outlines as<br />

negatively effecting the mitochondria and therefore chromosomes and genes as they organize<br />

the forming fetus.<br />

Similar conclusions are voiced by Matt Ridely in Genome, and in Our Stolen Future , by Colbrn,<br />

Dumanoski and Meyers. In a review <strong>of</strong> Our Stolen Future Pat Cody writes:<br />

Harmonally active synthetic chemicals are thugs on the biological information<br />

highway that sabotage vital communication. They mug the messengers or<br />

impersonate them. They jam signals. They scramble messages. They sow<br />

disinformation. They wreak all <strong>of</strong> havoc. Because hormone messages<br />

orchestrate many critical aspects <strong>of</strong> development, from sexual differentiation to<br />
