I take it you (your brain) believe you are the sum of your body and your mind — here I’m presuming brain. Others over the centuries have disagreed. Many others. Billions of others. And some of those say you can personally validate that you are more than your body+brain while you are living. I’m not in the business of selling any particular approach to do that. But entering into a downward cycle of negativity about aging isn’t going to do you, and those few still around willing to put up with you, any favors as you get older. If there is more to it than body+brain, and choosing to not confirm it to yourself leads you into negativity and misery as you age...well doesn’t that just sounds like you’re dumber than a door nail?

Throwing insults right out of the gate just makes you sound like a cheap troll :) If you have an argument to make, just cut the innuendo and make your argument. How did you "personally validate that you are more than your body+brain"? I don't want to assume anything, maybe you have something original to say that doesn't involve meditation, psychedelic drugs and Deepak Chopra.
