Steve I checked out the 2011 Eagleman book, on-line Google books and
Amazon text, and a number of reviews.

Seems to include many references I've read or recognize ...

Is your case simply that even consciousness and conscious will are
largely the products of subsconscious patterns.
(That's a given, I've said several times - the reason I prefer
Dennett's free-wont.)
And that "we" - the conscious we doing the deciding - are also
products of all those patterns .... etc. Meme machine and all that ?

The conscious / intentional action part may be only .0001% of the
activity, but it's still a crucial part of our mental activity - one
that makes a difference to the kind of responsibility we have for
actions.

Is there a part of Eagleman (or your own argument) that explains why
this conscious intentional part should not be treated any differently
to unintended parts ?
