    Functioning for several hours doesn’t sound good enough to start thinking about humans, lmao. Give me “a couple decades” and then I’ll be interested.

          So, your “self” isn’t just your brain, you have an entire nervous system throughout your body AND a secondary system linked to your gut and secondary tissues… Being just a brain isn’t even close to all of “you”

          You know phantom limb syndrome? Imagine phantom everything syndrome

            yeah that sounds great, liberate me from the endocrine. Haven’t you ever wondered how it would feel to be seperate from all the hormones and animal miscellenia? I think about it a lot.

          Could be possibly better than locked-in syndrome, depending on how much your brain can interact with its surroundings. But yeah this could be the stuff nightmare is made of.
