A thought comes when "it" wills, not when "I" will; to call the subject "I" the condition of the predicate "think" falsifies the facts

The passage

A thought comes when "it" wills, and not when "I" will; so that it is a falsification of the facts of the case to say that the subject "I" is the condition of the predicate "think".

JGB 17: »dass ein Gedanke kommt, wenn "er" will, und nicht wenn "ich" will; so dass es eine Fälschung des Thatbestandes ist, zu sagen: das Subjekt "ich" ist die Bedingung des Prädikats "denke"«. The »so dass« draws the second half from the first, inside one claim; the map has not made it an argument. JGB 54 gives the same subject-and-predicate scheme as the old belief in the soul, c-nietzsche-soul-believed-like-grammatical-subject.
