what's interesting about this now is if I think I'm just this little body and I'm nothing but this body and and my conscious experiences are nothing but what my brain does. So, so that's my theory and that's that's all I am. I don't feel very big. I don't feel very important. Um, and so I'm going to probably need to do something to make myself feel a little bit better and I'm going to need to compete with you.
for - example - poverty mentality - adjacency - poverty mentality - ego reification - othering - competition - If I believe my own spacetime story that - I am this body - thoughts are simply epiphenomena of the brain - then I don't feel very empowered or spacious - instead, I feel small and insignificant - and it motivates me to compete with others to make myself feel better - In this way, my own poverty mentality, based on the wrong-headed belief that I am the map (not the territory) - leads to identity and ego reification and othering
