But the body doesnt get sick and die randomly. There's a probabilistic distribution about when that is more likely to happen. And your body stops it from happening, almost every time. Your immune sysrem: even without your neocortex your self strives to preserve itself. There's a part of you that youre not even conscious of, a thinking system that predates brains, that exists primarily to preserve you. And then there's conscious and semiconscious self preservation, that kick in when needed.

Just because youre helpless to certain forces doesnt mean youre a leaf on the wind. Youre constantly preserving yourself. The fact that you can engage in deliberate, directed action demonstrates some type of persistent being with a will.
