Feeding your emotional hunger with physical food. Trying desperately to fill up that big gaping hole in your middle where your personality is supposed to be, that sort of thing.
You've made exactly my point - remove your brain, and your body can survive almost indefinitely, as long as you're fed and watered.
Yes, but your body's own chemistry is better at sorting out which is which than your brain will ever be.
Your body is "a physical thing", yes, but it's not "a machine", made of nuts and bolts and beams and struts, except conceptually. You, in your body, are a living, feeling, breathing, being.
From the moment you're conceived, you know the difference between Right and Wrong, but as soon as you're born "they" start teaching you the opposite.

"Science?"
Pah! You reject any evidence that doesn't conform to your dogma. That's the opposite of science. Isn't "science" supposed to be "the quest for truth"?
Speaking of science, here's something you can actually test - you can do the experiment in the comfort of your chair:
And rejection of the whole idea because it doesn't fit into your existing dogma is very unscientific, indeed.
Are you man enough to actually do the experiment? Do you have the courage? Or are you just going to be another cowardly minion, blindly following your infallible ruler's dogma?
Good Luck! Rich
