> And if you lost the capability for some reason? Are you no longer you? And if you aren't you, who are you?

Well, I think I would go through a little identity-crisis yes. If I can't exercise anymore, I would need to find a whole other way of releasing stress, finding a moment to completely forget about all duties in life. I have thought about that question a lot... I think I would feel trapped if they took that option away.

> Are you sure about that? I quite strongly disagree in many respects as agency is not always possible, even when 'knowing' what needs to be done. You can put this down to willpower but did you chose the level of willpower you have, or were you born with it? There is no answer as of yet. I have no control over what I was born with and although I can affect the behaviours somewhat, the level of dictation and the ceilings still exist.

True, that's the nature vs nurture debate. Some things we are born with and are the results of our genes, and the way our parents raised us have a big influence to who we later become. That's unavoidable. But the older we get, the more we can start to question these things. We can be critical of our upbringing, values and norms we got teached. We can think about why we do what we do. In that sense I think we can somewhat control our behaviors, albeit very hard and will require a lot of reflection and work.

> Again, disagree for it is the attachment to the goal that may be the issue here, right? it is an expectation of the way things 'should' be in some future without recognition of the way thing are being.

I see you're tackling things from a viewpoint of "the here and now" instead of focusing on what should be the goal en the ways to achieve that goal. Is that correct? Maybe the difference in our thought process is that you think of change as a daily, constant adaption to the world, whereas I see it as a longterm grind towards a goal?
