That's right! Identity and possession don't exist as states outside our minds! But that doesn't mean they're not useful for living together. I would agree that identity is a result of our advanced primate brain, as I said above. Though an illusion, identity helps us think both temporally and abstractly. It also helps…

Identity is an illusion, however, a byproduct of a swollen primate brain, the evolutionary benefits of which outweigh the cost. Identity is simply a survival mechanism sheltering us from the harsh reality of what a heartless bitch nature can be.

My mother finally uploaded her brain.

I'm going to make my children watch this.

Definite chemtrails.

Not being at all sarcastic, I find this oddly attractive, in a strange, sexual way.

Fermented beverages. For centuries beer was the only safe source of hydration. And it may be argued that psychoactive substances sparked consciousness in early humans. Or I could've made that up.

Appeal to nature mixed with homebrewed stupidity. It's just so... Oh hey look what a celebrity said!

You sir, are a credit to your country.

Agreed. Long term interstellar trade will have to focused on services, people, and luxuries.
