Heh.  I have sometimes had the thought that "I am not my brain, and my brain is not necessarily my friend."

I AM my brain, and I can't stand sharing a skull with myself.

TGRR,
Off to see about a trepaning.

Are you though?  I mean, psychologically maybe, but artefacts of you exist in other people's heads, and in the artefacts that you leave behind.  On this forum, for example.  

At least, that's how I look at it.  When people tell me they hear my voice in their head, I consider that almost as "me" as when I personally talk, because it's just an independent impression of myself in the world.  Like if there was a virtual sigmatic on some computer, I'd also consider that "me".

I take a pretty broad view of ego and mind, though.

"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."

If Luna was a furry, she'd sex humans and scream "BEASTIALITY!" at the top of her lungs at inopportune times.

I like the Luna one. She is a good one.

Pretty sure Requia has never posted a pic.

Yeah, actually I've noticed that. She's too busy being wrong to post pics.

This is why I generally avoid talking about it.  I'll go back to doing that.

There's no reason to quit now.
