Developing a social memory complex

[Anders]

The question about free will can be seen from the choice of going from an individual consciousness to a collective consciousness of a service-to-others (STO) social memory complex. As Morgue said, when we share our personal will with another person then we only have 50% of our own willpower. Because the combined will is a unification between both persons. When we only have our personal will then we have 100% of our own willpower.

Now imagine sharing our will with 10 people. Then our own personal will only has 10% willpower because of the shared collective will. And with a group of 1,000 people we only have 0.1% willpower. An STO social memory complex with a million people means that we only have 0.0001% personal willpower within that SMC. In a service-to-self (STS) SMC it's different since then the individual wills are competing with each other instead of being joined.

What this means is that the choice of joining an STO social memory complex that later will contain billions of people is basically a sacrifice of one's own individual and person will for the benefit of the whole SMC. That may sound horrible and like a self-sacrifice and the loss of individual sovereignty and personal willpower. The good thing is that it's only the beast ego that is sacrificed, which lives in the illusion of total separation, and what is gained is the unified willpower of billions of people, which is far less distorted and vastly more powerful than any individual consciousness.
