I've come to the personal conclusion that "I" am the sum of my memories. The physical parts that make me up are no more "me" than the clothes on that body. Whatever system contains my memories and makes computation based on those memories, whether a brain, computer, or something else, is "me" enough.
- tetris11 4y agoThere are unconscious parts of your mind screaming interrupts at you as your limbs extend and react about your environment using trained behaviours. Your organs groan and churn also using unconscious trained behaviours from your brain. They form a feedback loop of input with your brain, the conscious side of which you are aware of, and the unconscious side oprating silently in the background. What do you think will happen if you deprive your brain of these inputs? Yes your conscious mind might cope, but your unconscious mind might go berserk, and start spamming hidden error messages to your conscious which might manifest in many unpredictable ways.
