And if so – how do you determine if you are being deceived and giving “voice” to something that desires no more than to blah blah blah blah blahs.

How do you know yours are not? I am generating thought as I write this post. You were generating thought as you wrote the post. How do you know your conclusions regarding Wanderer's post were not planned and planted? How do you determine if your are being decieved and giving "voice" to something that desires no more than to exercise some kind of control of your conscious cognitive procesesses?

The obvious answer is because they're not. They are just thoughts. Unless you are in a vegetative state or dead, you are generating thoughts. The thoughts themselves are not evil, and to be concerned about Wanderer's story is to be generating some really ridiculous thoughts of your own.
