Here's a list of tons of leftist movies.
I really don't think of the brain that way and neither should you. "You" are more than just your brain and when the electrochemical processes that constitute your mind cease there's no bringing them back whether or not it's intact.
Also maybe I just spent too much time on 4chan in my 20s or my near-constant thoughts of self harm have desensitized me over the years but none of the gore in The Boys phases me, at least on a visceral level. Cringing at the pain and horror living people experience is one thing, but people being instantly killed in flashy ways is, to the person dying, exactly the same as a fatal aneurysm. Painless. (This is not a good thing, I don't think.)
The self exists entirely within the brain, everything else is to keep the brain alive.
Yeah I know, but it just feels worse for some reason.
Your self is inextricable from your body. A brain in a jar is an empty void with no inputs or outputs, and increasingly psychology and neurology recognize this and look at the brain-body system more holistically. To think of any organ of the body as its core component is silly, as all of them act in unison to support each other.
Nah, the self is the series of electrical signals in your brain. The self is composed of memory, emotions, thoughts, and personality, those are the things that make you you. Memory, emotions, and thoughts are in the brain and personality is basically derived from those (i.e. life experiences).
A brain in a jar may have no inputs or outputs, but it could still be cognizant. It might not be an amazing experience, but it would be. Your thoughts would still be going. It also could have inputs and outputs through a brain computer interface.
Think about your inputs and outputs. You’re still the same person if you go blind, deaf, mute, lose your limbs, whatever (although from that point forward you'll have radically different life experiences). All of those senses are ways for the brain to navigate the physical world it exists in. They influence the self, but they are not the self.
Yes, but that doesn’t make it all part of the self. It’s a complex system but it’s all to keep the brain alive.
Think about what death, cessation of the self, is from a physical standpoint. What forms of death are there? What physically happens in those forms of death? The answer is that brain death is the only actual form of death, everything else is brain death resulting from [whatever]. Some system in the body fails, ultimately stopping oxygen from reaching the brain, which means it stops working.
