  >You are what you think. I have no idea how or why... but I know this is so. Given the evidence that conscious thought, self-awareness and "free will" are post-hoc effects, emerging after decisions are made by the brain at a subconscious level, it's more likely that that you are what thinks you.

    I gather there is some debate in the field as to whether this is a true effect or a consequence of bad measurements. I do find it fascinating and await better evidence before making my mind up either way. I do, however, appreciate your splendid and witty statement and shall reward you with an upvote :-)
