Hey guys, I've been looking at model brains and they are so expensive. I'd really like to have one for my studies, but I can't afford them.
But I was thinking, a lot of people claim to exist without their brain in all the glory they experience now. So, you can prove you don't need it just by taking it out and then you can send it to me and we will both be happy.
I can use more than one for dissecting. So please lobotomize yourself and send me your brain.
But that would be suicide, and we might be banned from the eternal extra-neurological consciousness club, for doin' dat.

Sheep brains and other animal brains should be available at your butcher Ahnimus why don't you give that a go first?
I could possibly consider willing you mine, but you'd need to prove that you are actually doing something for the advancement of disease cure first.
Probably Dennett's greatest quality is that he non-militaristically tries to persuade people to his type of thinking. In strong contrast to say Dawkins or Harris.
Knowing how to communicate is half your smarts.
If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

I won't be able to live without my liver either but I'm pretty sure my consciousness doesn't stem from there (except on week end nights).

So, what do you figure your brain does? You can just send me half of it.
I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire

My brain is a part of my consciousness. Without it I wouldn't be able to say smart stuff. Just like without my heart/spine/liver/lungs... All of this stuff is necessary, not just the brain.
I watch and read a lot of stuff. But I tend to see the same stuff over and over again. The same arguments, the same circumstantial evidence, etc.. etc..
It might be something to do with the music Pearl Jam makes, but most places I post have people with completely different attitudes. For example I started a thread about free-will on tvo.org/theagenda and most of the responses were "That's self-evident" and some ridiculed me for suggesting it was some kind of revelation when it's "blatantly obvious". The same phenomena occurred at skeptic.com. Here on the other hand, I was called "Crazy".
Maybe that's because here you get, at least a small bit of, diversity. Its far from a tossed salad of opinion here, but at least you get a little from various schools of thought. i'd wager a kidney that you're probably not getting that on "skeptic.com" or "ispendwaytomuchtimeonwikipediaandyoutube.com" or whereever else you probably post.

I wonder if I can have my brain given to someone when I die.
