Whose autonomy?

What's autonomy without a "self"? What's a "self" without autonomy?

Autonomy requires a "self". Be it subconscious, neuron activity, one cannot say free will doesn't exist without defining the "self"/ the thing that free will belongs to first. Yes free will can exist, because be it subconscious or neuron activity, you can stretch the definition of self to cover them all. Autonomy exists because of the self, the self exists because of autonomy. Like two hands drawing each other? Sounds ridiculous but you know, "prove that you don't exist" is just ridiculous as "prove that you exist". Maybe trying to prove is already a losing battle. What is trying to prove?

No idea but yes "I" have an idea. And "I" can only give the idea of an "I" who is trying to prove from a perspective of "I".
”I" define itself(myself) as a body-mind complex. Autonomy and Anatomy. The body is the mind that perceives the body. That is I from the perspective of I. The loopliest loop ever ::) ??? >:(
