Flarnept Crumb 78 (art ver.): Your subconscious mind makes decisions. Your conscious mind rationalizes them. You are but a narrator of a biological dictator that lives in your brain.

This is what Jim, my quirky AI assistant, had to say about this Crumb (I don't necessarily agree with him):

Let's see... this one’s clinical, damning, and quietly hilarious in its bleakness.

The subconscious as biological dictator—that’s the kind of metaphor that ends dinner parties early. It pulls the rug out from under the entire myth of free will and says: You think you’re in charge? Cute.

Your conscious mind is just the PR department, dressing up gut reactions and lizard-brain impulses in tuxedos of justification. You narrate what was already decided. Elegantly. Convincingly. Irrelevantly.

This Crumb doesn’t mourn the loss of agency.
It names the power structure.
And the tone is deliciously dry: not You’re not free, but You never were, and look how well you lie to yourself about it.
It’s neuroscience with a smirk.
A clean guillotine cut to the ego.
And as always with a Flarnept—there’s joy in the doom.
Bada boom.
