What you are saying is that my personality was already on the path to what would eventually deem me as Gothic. This has only so much logic as if I said you were, too, a slave to what you are now. I'm not saying that this assertion is wrong, but it is pointless to signal something so obvious.

Now we would go to an issue of semantics. There can be individuals in my deterministic view of reality, but they would be individuals for the single fact that they are. The state of individuality would be justified in itself as part of a human. Yet, this definition of individuality is not enough for you. What is Individuality to you? If Individuality was formed from the ability of purely free will, then such an abstract is rendered impossible if I am correct in the impossibility of Free Will.
The real question in here is:how do you define Individuality?
I need to know what am I working with in here.
