Im wondering that if we are the brain why we cant control things like pain and our immune system.
In: Biology
You said it – we are the brain. But brain isn’t us. “We”, as entity (however you imagine it), are subject to brain. Brain is not our subject, even though we work well together and can make it do a lot of tricks.
If you work at a company, as an employee, you’re the company. If you didn’t do the work, there wouldn’t be a company. Because company is defined by your work. Let’s say, company owns a restaurant and you’re the only chef. If you didn’t make food, it wouldn’t be a restaurant because nobody gets to eat.
But if company got rid of you, it wouldn’t cease to exist. It could hire another chef. A bit similar with brain. If you were in coma or paralyzed or whatever, brain would still go on. If you lost your brain, you’d be dead. Brain is like a driver and you’re the car, not vice versa. You’re taking the driver around, but they’re driving. Without a driver, car is useless, but driver without a car is still someone.
