Literally everything everyone does is identical to a neural state. Or else they wouldn't be doing it. So why do they only bring up the neural states for certain things?

Because people believe, say and act out whatever they feel like in the moment. They don't care about the fundamental reality underneath superficial debates about free will/determinism, biology/sociology, brains/computers and so on. Anons here just mess around, put up a front, masturbate and go to sleep. Don't expect any consistency, honesty or discovery here.

You can either be the worm or the apple the way I see it.

This is why scientists and philosophers often contrast their views with the typical "folk" understanding of reality. Cause almost everyone is wrong about almost everything. Usually normal people don't feel any pressure to have a consistent on ethics, free will, cosmology, etc, so instead they get a hodgepodge of non-sense ideas that works socially.

They're sophists who try to create a distinction between which neural states are the causes of "will" and which neural states are the consequences of "will".

how the FUCK do I get a hot girlfriend at Ohio State? They're always out jogging and I just wanna tell them how beautiful they are but that might be creepy as I'm a 5'9 physics major

the brain is a very complicated machine, so most psychological states can't yet be mapped one-to-one to physical states.

So, you're out running on a trail and you slip on a stone and fall. What neural state made you choose this?

Because the position is self-defeating in the strong sense and not philosophically useful in the weak sense.
You *ought* to have known this. You could have done differently and not made this shitpost.

Neurons control muscles to maintain balance. Environmental changes (including movement and pavement) can sometimes prove too disruptive for the feedback mechanism.
