How do you see yourself? The brain? Or the skeleton?
When I ask "how do you see yourself?" I don't mean like do you think you're a good person or anything like that, nah. I wanna know if you think you're the brain, or the skeleton
Let's get existential, man *hippie music starts playing*

We are made in the image of the living God. Just as God is 3 in 1 (father, son, spirit), we too are 3 in 1 (mind, body, soul). Saw someone, somewhere beautiful say “we are not a body that has a soul, but a soul that has a body”. You are made in the image of the glorious God, and that’s how you should view yourself!

A soul inside a brain, the soul makes the brain work and the brain drives the skeleton like a mech -
I see myself as a soul inhabiting a body with a mind and brain.

Our sense of self is a construct that exists in the immediate future. We feel that we are in control, like a pilot, but our part in the decision making is just on the abstract side of things. We set goals that the brain commands the body to follow. When you want to press a button on a controller to make your character dodge in a videogame, you feel like you're doing the action at that moment, but your brain has already sent the order for your muscles a few moments ago. It does that by predicting multiple scenarios from the data provided by your sensory organs, choosing one based on the previous experiences stored in your memory. That's why you get better at something the more you do it, you're providing more data for your brain to create predicitions and choose the right one. Funny enough that's how PCs are so fast these days, they call it branch prediction. So the next time you die in a videogame, you can either get good or blame your brain.

How many of my bones can I lose and live? How many of my brains? How many bone injuries can fundamentally change my personality? How many brain injuries? Everything works together but the brain runs the show. [spoiler]Or at least it thinks it does.[/spoiler]

Edited by Dragokin: 3/26/2025 3:11:32 PMI see it as a Voltron or power rangers set up... multiple pilots working together in the brain to operate the body...each providing different functions and your pov is the leader coordinating the team... Lots of body functions are reasonably automated and this is how I see it working in the context of piloting the body....the biological setup of the brain reflects this...

Bio mechanical machine, you are you, but I do not believe you are existentially the Central Control Unit, if one does not acknowledge themselves as a whole then why even have a body. You can't be just a mind without a body, and you can't be just a body without a mind, that is, if you are still functioning within standard organic living parameters, if this does not apply then you probably ascended as energy to a higher plane of existence unbeknownst to anything explicable via science as we know today. Of course this would imply a scale that one would define normality with, and as no two bio-machinations of ourselves as humans could ever be absolute genetically the same in regards to alleles and other percentile factors the main logical deduction I get to is that there is no normal human since a baseline cannot exist at a 100% matchup of structure. None of that matters anyway, we all serve different purposes, we are but various 1s and 0s on the statistical scale, which may or may not have anything to do with simulation. People die and sure that can be sad, what I am getting at here in this moment however is that matter does not ever end, it can change, even in ways one might not fully ever comprehend, but nobody is ever truly lost if simply their matter changed or shifted to a separate state of existence that the limited human mind can grasp. I am in no way condoning or pushing any sort of belief in a higher power or anything of that sort, I am stating my thoughts regarding humans and what we know as life and what we still don't know. what we do know is the brain can remain quite active even after someone is dead, why that is I can't answer, some speculate that you can see your whole life experience over again before the brain actually dies. We do know that matter can never truly end though, and on that note I put out the possibility that we may or may not be in a simulation...

The brain, which is locked in a bone box. Everything I know has been interpreted from electrical signals from the five senses. I have never been outside so maybe it isn't like I imagine at all.

Damage or remove a section of the skeleton and the body loses some functionality but outside the psychological trauma of losing said functionality, you're unlikely to see a massive change in the "pilot's" capability. Damage or remove a section of the brain though, and you're likely to see a loss of some capability or a fundamental shift in their "piloting style".[spoiler]This post was composed by the Brain and written via manipulation of the fingers. All hail our cognitive overlord. May it's tyrannical reign endure.[/spoiler]

Both. Our body is an interconnected system.
