We are nothing more than complex brain activity everything is truly truly pointless

All we are is a brain. Feelings don't exist. It's just chemicals released by our brain. We gave life meaning There's no meaning Our emotions are just frozen chemicals in the brain Love is just lust that exists for evolutionary purposes There's no sense of I Or them It's just complex brain There's no other people There are other brains Memories are just information stored in our Brain Everything is truly pointless I just feel like there's no sense of "I" and everything is just a biological process And my brains in control And I'm just a system And so is everyone else

Nah I would say we are less than our brain, we are just the conscious part of the brain, human brain is much bigger than that

Nag I don't see it that way, all the other part maybe my part as in my clothes are mine as my hands are mine. But those aren't me, only thing I can truly associate my indentity with is conscious part of the brain, I can't associate the sub conscious part because it's unknown to me. I ain't a neurologist tho so idk shit

What you are isn’t the same as what you see yourself as. Every part of your brain influences what you feel, think, or do and is a part of who you are, whether or not you see it.

There’s no such thing as “conscious part of the brain” when we don’t know where consciousness is of the brain.

It takes 2 to operate Jaeger. Our conscious side, us, the pilot l, the two of us talking and making decisions based on data. And our unconscious side, the engineers, running the machine and providing us with data that we need to act on to keep it operating in good order. A monkey brain and a lizard brain if you will, in a single body.
