why do so many people think the brain is somehow totally isolated from the body? (leminal.space)

like the brain is literally encased in the body so how can it be separate? like if you go around licking lamp posts you're going to pick up some germ that's gonna make you feel like crap and you get insomnia or fever and your brain will definitely be impacted. and so you'll have short temper and that'll get you into trouble.

I think quite a few people don't treat it like an organ(if that what's it actually is). Like mind over matter can work for anyone no matter what is wrong with the fucked up brain

but how is the mind different from the whole??

[–] BurgerBaron@piefed.social 1 points 6 days ago

Most people think souls exist even after somebody gets brain damage in a car crash and turns into a monster.

Basically, lower your standards because the average human will never reach the bar as it stands.

Well, you're whole is your asshole if you're a dude. If you're a lady, your whole is your vagina.
