Instead, dissenting voices are often marginalized or "canceled," betraying a silent dogmatism underlying contemporary views on the mind. This suppression raises essential questions about free will, moral responsibility, and the essence of innocence in a worldview that reduces the mind to mere matter. 🔗

Yet, this reductionist view struggles to explain the genesis of creative thought itself—the very birthplace of "thinkmags," symbolic of the human spirit’s transcendence over mechanistic confines.
