That’s called a massive dose of opiates. You are highly unlikely to reboot after complete shutdown, so it’s generally not recommended.

Pain is mandatory, suffering is optional.

No, I’m not on social media anymore.

In other words I’m a mistake of evolution.

(Jk all the other shit humanity has done to destroy the planet and allow 100 people to have half of the world’s wealth are the mistakes.)

Fuck yeah spread it

I like to swallow others dna

We’re just a clump of stuff that is constantly fighting against the entropy of the universe, man.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=fcPWU59Luoc

I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.

I’ve managed to outlive many computer systems because they can’t self mend.

And leaks a lot

Why is this formatted like a bad Facebook post from a middle aged mom that recently bought into a pyramid scheme disguised as a fitness program?

Edit:

Ok, so not a pyramid scheme. But the book is critizised for overstating the benefits of veganism and the dangers of other foods. Take with a HUGE grain of salt if you want to dive into this.

I think I’d rather just go with death if that’s my only two options.

Walk vs driving

MBIC my commute is 45 mins one-way

My vessel is an ecosystem… you could really get use to saying that lol

This opinion is beautiful and I will now choose to follow it. It almost makes one feel a kinship with the eyelash mites.

Oh and I guess sometimes a virus or a tumor invades the brain and eats up most of it.

Rabies being the most common I think

TLDR; We are the entire universe pretending to be an individual.

I like where you are going with it, but I think it’s more crazy than that. It seems that the idea of self/individual is an illusion. We think of our self’s as just our brain. But we are much more than that. There is an inter connectivity between our brain and the rest of our body that science is now just starting to understand. On top of that, we have everything else outside our body that we need to survive/can influence our health and train of thought.

As an example, think of all the things you can/can’t control with your body. Heart rate, digestion, fighting off infections, what mood you are in, etc.

This is where breath work in yoga/meditating comes in. It’s the most obvious example of a physiological process that is involuntary but also voluntary. Focus on that, and you can start blur the boundary between self and other.

So the question is, “where do “I” end, and where does “everything else” begin”?

Turns out that there is no solid or non-subjective answer to that.

It’s almost as if our ideas of “self” are an illusion in order to birth the evolutionary advantageous behavior of being social.

Anyway…I’m starting to feel the edible… have a great Labor Day!

Previously formed neural pathways, epigenetics, nascent research into gut microbiota and cognition. It’s even more abstract and amazing than just software.

Erase the neuronic pattern and the frame work that led to a big part of what that person was still remains.

You lose memory, but there’s a very real argument to be made that we’re a trickier stack of firmware, software, and hardware acceleration to keep your analogy.

The newly minted infant homunculi in this hypothetical total loss of the “pattern” would (given their environment supports enough resources) find themselves becoming something significantly alike what was there before.

It happens all the time with smaller and not as thorough distractions to that pattern after all.

That’s my take anyhow.

Counterpoint

1. Our present domination global culture is biased to place a higher value on brain vs. body function— see eg someone “declared ‘brain-dead’”… … or in a coma.

2. People w damaged or missing body parts will say that they no longer feel like themselves

I dunno. Organic space suit implies that the nervous system could survive independently of it. But it can’t.

You need to get blood to the brain, so you need a heart. That blood needs oxygen so you need lungs. You need some way of getting energy to these systems, so you need a digestive system, which starts at your lips and forms a frighteningly long tunnel that ends at your butt. Now you’re introducing weird shit to your blood beyond just oxygen so you need a few systems to keep the blood clean. Now you’ve got all kinds of different needs and so you have other orgasms to keep those organs alive and functioning. Oh and because your blood is also alive, it dies and you need a way to make more. Quite efficiently this is done in your bones. But for the sake of argument let’s say this is possible without the bones themselves.

I’d say the space suit starts at the immune system, and ends at the skin, which is really an extension of the immune system but there’s muscle in there. You could, theoretically, survive without any muscle or skin, or even an immune system in a clean environment, as long as you had a way to obtain calories and Oxygen independently. Though going to the bathroom would be hard.

Thanks!

both of you PLEASE put a CW warning on that

not everyone has huge screens so we tap it and then ::vomit::

CW morbid human nervous system anatomy, decoupled from rest of body

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.
