No, she was just was born into a time where enough suffering, has resulted in science progressing to the point and where her hearing can be fixed. The act doesn't change control over natural or personal. She was fated to get the surgery and whatever comes in life. She is no different than her reflection and similar to everything in reality. It's a shame people are so against understanding how things really are at the…

im carefully trying to understand what you are saying but it just sounds like crazy nonsense. you might reflect on whether it actually is crazy nonsense, and if not, find a more clear way to express yourself.

You sound like a person who isn't educated in determinism and so you think it's crazy nonsense. All external forces upon a person are destined to happen and where nobody has any real control over what they do or think. How's that or maybe just google hard determinism. I witness the same kind of backlash as the flat world thinkers did towards Pythagoras.

Most people will never spend much time thinking about it. The social conditioning in childhood ruins the possibility to think about it and prevents being even more closer to understanding reality.

One day these implants are going to be so sophisticated that we may very well evolve to not have bio-hearing at all. I have friends with implants, and one of them regularly just keeps it switched off to focus on writing. I am deeply envious though of course, at present the bit-depth is not very good from what I understand about the tech, and his brain even after 20 years of having the implant isn't good at differenti…
