There is a strange twist in the way we relate to the world that causes endless confusion. Generally speaking, we come fully equipped to deal with life, and apart from a smattering of consciousness that allows us to navigate the world to get the resources we need, there is absolutely no need for a fabricated person who feels they are in charge to inhabit our consciousness. We know how to breathe, defecate, eat, sleep, copulate, drink, and generally ensure that we persist as most animals do.
You are the ghost in the machine that generally fucks things up.
