how does it tie into the notion of intellect also being a deconstruction?

glove, i just started a new string called "the zombie within" in which i try
to explain exactly that. according to these very interesting articles, our
conscious minds are not aware of much that is going on behind our backs so
to speak. in fact, some of the new experiments clearly show that instead of
free will we only may have "free won't" meaning that our actions originate
unconsciously and that our conscious mind may only have the will to stop
them in a very short span of time. we can only stop the actions that
originate unconsciously.
isn't that wildly fascinating?
