I own my brain because I'm human. Other animal brains, (whale, deer, cow, grasshopper, bird) are not owned by themselves, perhaps animals are simply incapable of comprehending our level of organization. That's why we can make their decisions for them.

Sorry it's just absolutely bizarre to me to think of a part of your body having different ownership than the other parts. Too atomistic. Are we renting out the space in our heads? If so, shouldn't that be mitigated to prevent unnecessary damage?

I feel like Chicken Tonight like Chicken Tonight!

Me lowering my heart rate in the body.config file because I think I know better (a typo immediately kills me)

you can pay an expert for some upgrades, but they generally don't do them unless something broke.

You don't own your brain, you are the brain. Your conciousness is literally a process of the brain's proprietary code.

But can it run Doom?

I can soft mod my brain with chemicals. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I rooted a android device last night. I wish I could modify my brain like I do all the devices I use.

You actually can modify your "software", though there's limits. Can't really swap the kernel at all, and the OS is a bitch to alter, but the DE is totally doable. We even have bug fixers, called therapists.

Now, deleting old programs is hard, but there are tricks to reset your clock, assuming the hardware is both functional and running a standard configuration. Some folks are just wired different, so playing with the clock results in blue screens at inopportune moments.

Sorry, legacy code and technical debt. Please check in with us in ~2000 years or so, we might have the next minor bugfix version up by then.

Found the transhumanist.

I just want the user guide to be honest

Can't modify it? Watch me.

grabs shotgun

Psilocybin will patch that shit.

“cannot modify it” absolumment pas vrai

What does it even mean to say "I own my brain"? What is this "I" that's doing the owning?

From my point of view it just seems like brain exists and that brain is having a subjective experience. The sense of self is just one of those experiences. It's not real - there's no self located within the brain. Atleast not that we know of.

And it's always listening to what I'm doing lol

You can train it but it requires a lot of boring manual entries and the model may deviate if you ever stop.

There's a JTAG port in the base of the cortex for pushing firmware updates. Problem is, we lost the signing keys back in the neolithic. Thag got crushed by a mammoth before we had a chance to invent written language and write documentation.

you own it but also can't really modify it

Lemme introduction you to my friends: drugs, TBIs, and dementia

Edit:

Lemme introduction you

Wtf is wrong with me lately? Geez...

You own your brain...

i don't know how to break this to you, but you are your brain.
