sometimes late at night, when I stare at my ceiling right before I got to sleep, I wonder if "I" exist as my brain or if "I" exist as the total sum cellular matter that makes up my body.

Then I realize thats exactly what a brain is, mass of cells....its no more special, in terms of cellular composition, than any other organ in my body. Is this what "I" look like :leon:?

Are we a brain trapped within a box of flex:sadbron: thats terrifying

Or is the self a delusion/survival technique created by our collective cells to convince me to procreate and continue our species:wtf:
Because animals do the same fukking thing but without our concepts of "the self" or "I":mindblown:

It is fukking insane isn't it??

I would give up a billion dollars and 75% of the rest of my life if in exchange I could know and fully understand the true meaning of consciousness

I don't even think we could comprehend it. Our brains wouldn't even be able to process the information. We'd prolly just sit there drooling on ourselves like some hungry dogs.

We still can't even come up with a believable explanation of how we got here in the first place. I don't think we're designed to ever know what all this shyt means. Maybe the answers come after we leave here. But I don't think they exist in this realm. Or whatever you wanna call it. But who knows :manny:

Looking at how our brain deals with things like traumatic experiences you’re probably right.
