No. If you think you’re “just a product of (y)our brain chemistry”, you’re selling yourself short. There’s a “you” in that meat-sac, so keep throwing levers and pushing buttons. You fly the ship. 🤌🏼
Nuh-uh. I’m just a character an ape made up while it was pretending to be a person. You can be a transcendent being and mecha pilot your body around if you like. You can construct your sense of self however you like. That was my point. Our buddy upthread could be the very embodiment of the DSM criteria for ADHD, and that would still be a valid way to be a person.
Self is an illusion. We’re all just a product of our brain chemistry and experience. Don’t sweat it.
