You’re not piloting a bone mech, you are it.
It feels like you’re behind your face looking out into the world but once you pay close attention and look for what’s looking you’ll discover there’s nothing there. There’s no “you” in a sense that there’s someone behind the wheel. There’s just consciousness. It feels like something to be. A subjective experience.
WHERE IS THE PAINLESS OFF BUTTON!?
Pain is mandatory, suffering is optional.
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.
I like to spread my DNA without replicating it.
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 are just processes running on a bio computer that’s our brain and nervous system.
We’re processes running on two bio computers, one of which is actively suppressed by the other. That’s our brain and nervous system.
Go deep.
We’re just a clump of stuff that is constantly fighting against the entropy of the universe, man.
We’re just pure energy vibrating at different frequencies
We’re the stuff of nothingness that popped into existence a long time ago
Not me man
And if you go really deep matter itself moves to form organized organic compounds that reproduce and grow in complexity under stable physical processes.
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.
pretty shitty meat armor, might i add.
It’s pretty amazing that it can self mend
I’ve managed to outlive many computer systems because they can’t self mend.
yet
No no, that’s not how that works.
yet
It breaks a lot
And leaks a lot
Also has a few exhaust problems
yeah, the methane output on some models is just insane.
How Not To Die by Michael Greger
see also: anti-flammatory diet
(drink 0.75 gal to 1 gallon of h2o daily)
(eliminate flour) ((pizza, bread, bagels, pasta, crackers, etc))
Start there
And walk vs driving
And do yoga
and eat a head of spinach, daily. …
You’ll be amazed. (at how your body TRANSFORMz0rz :-o GO POWER RANGERZZZZZZS )
(leave your phone at a friend’s house build a better env )
72 hours give it 3 days of that
You will be amazed
at how your OWN body
can trans form its nervous sensory stimuli & feelings
(start drinking water the moment u wake up keep it in the bathroom next to toilet or en route
(where it wont spill if you’re half-asleep and bump it )
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:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Greger
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.
The salt is good for electrolytes
I think I’d rather just go with death if that’s my only two options.
they’re really not your only two options that was just a menu of a sampling of my ideal sorta
gross over generalization … a bit like the op meme :-)
Walk vs driving
MBIC my commute is 45 mins one-way
45min driving? yikes
How many miles or KM ?
Then why I die from liver failure.
Every death is just brain damage. Now that can be either caused by physical trauma or (more commonly) oxygen stops reaching the brain for one reason or another. 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
Steve?
I call my blood balloon stick mech The Vessel.
The Vessel is fucked up, but the spirit piloting the mess is doing great.

Our being is just a brain and a nervous system. Our body is just a space suit
Goes more abstract than that. Our being is the unique interconnected pattern we all have of billions of firing neurons. Erase the pattern and you erase the human and make them a blank slate infant again. We are just software.
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.
What’s the line from Cruelty Squad? “I am a meat automaton animated by neurotransmitters?”
I’m 14 and this blew my mind
The title sounds like carrot weather
I mean. The motors are meat to. You would die without your skin but if you did not you could still move technically but the bones won’t do anything on their own.
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.
I sense injuries. The data could be called pain.
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.
What a terribly reductionist POV.
A few antidotes:
study and learn Somatic Experiencing. (Where in your body do you feel a given emotion ? Where is tension felt? where is relaxation felt? where is sadness felt? )
study some real yoga (not stretching
but actual yoga ie meditation breath-work soma practices )

I think those are all nice titles but this is just a joke meme sweet Lemming.
lol i know
thank you for the kind reply
aaannnd art is in the eye of the beholder so idk not necessarily for the OP needing to read it
moreso for those who (as w many of us) hv poor/low sense of self-value/self-resilience
i just hear that a lot from tech nerds “my body is stupid/irrational” etc
and it’s like “or maybe we need better models to listen to & make sense of it”
I enjoy your answer, I truly do. We do need better models. I just don’t know how we ended up with credit scores and being beholden much of our time to either staring at a spreadsheet or putting up with some customers yelling at us. Life is pretty absurd when you think it over.
