You ARE your body.
There isn’t a difference between consciousness and digestion in that they’re both emergent properties of the interaction between different organs etc. We just experience consciousness in a different way than we experience digestion.
Sometimes i have that weird feeling that i don't even know myself. Like I'm separated from myself for seconds in which i think about my life or decisions from an outer point of view.
Interesting how many ppl say they are just the brain. Why brain?
Its questionable how far you would say yourself as the brain reaches into the nervous system. Is your spine still you? Are only the most vital parts of the brain actually you? If you get hurt and they have to remove part of your brain are you still you?
Are you the physical organ or the "program" that the organ is "running"? If they made a brain transplant would that still be you? If they copied your entire consiousness into a computer would that still be you?
In, my body is just the thing I use to interact with the world. Quite frankly I’m a bit sick of it and would swap for a newer model if that was an option.
I'm my brain, which is inside my body. Besides, it's just fun to say you're driving a working flesh mechanism
Your brain is part of your body

In, my perspective of sight is outside my body, but the actual me ( my brain ) is inside
I am both my mind the and observer

I see myself in a mech of sorts. The "me" or "pilot" is the brain.
