    well if you wanna go deeper then we are just processes running on a bio computer that’s our brain and nervous system.

    or if you wanna go deeper we are just a bunch of DNA that wants to replicate and spread.

      We’re processes running on two bio computers, one of which is actively suppressed by the other. That’s our brain and nervous system.

      Men are just DNA mosquitoes, only instead of taking blood we deposit DNA.

      I mean, we still suck. but that’s more of a classification or generalization for another time.

    I call my blood balloon stick mech The Vessel.

    The Vessel is fucked up, but the spirit piloting the mess is doing great.

    But where are you really? Behind your eyes? We become aware of sensations in the body but how can they be above or below us? The sensory data just is, there’s no place we receive it from, it just appears and then disappears. Any label we put on this is just a convenient conceptual overlay that attempts to make sense of it and give it meaning. There is no meaning, only emptiness.

        Indeed. Sometimes we get injured and don’t notice it. Other times we feel pain and there is no injury. We’re attempting to make sense of experience by applying concepts to what we feel. It’s the reason why chronic pain management using drugs is unsustainable.
