Ayn Rand quoted by Max:
Who programs [your subconscious]? Your conscious mind. If you default, if you don’t reach any firm convictions, your subconscious is programmed by chance
I think it’s worse than that. If you don’t control outcomes like this, then you shouldn’t expect random outcomes. You should expect static memes to determine outcomes.
If you programmed your computer by conscious thinking, you know the nature of your values and emotions. If you didn’t, you don’t.
You may consciously program your subconscious computer then forget what you did. This is common for programming done in early childhood.
