Brains are Stange.

You would think that man would know almost everything there is to know about brains, seeing as it is what makes us, us.

The approximately 2.75 lbs of cells numbering greater than the number of stars in the Milky Way, seems to do some pretty crazy things. First of all, the brain we are given is basically us. Since our mind is in the brain, and our mind is us, it is safe to say that we are in our brain. If you were to lose everything else in your body but your brain, which is miraculously saved and kept alive via some sort of machine, we would still be aware of our own existence and possess thought. In fact, if you feel that everything you have ever experienced is a record of your life, you would be referring to everything that was interpreted by your brain. It's almost as if you were your brain and the rest of your body is just things for your brain to fiddle with.
This hunk of tissue is can actually understand that it exists. Within this tissue lies two minds, your conscious and your subconscious. The subconscious is responsible for the maintenance of your body, and your own protection. Your subconscious is protecting you even when you have no idea it is. For example, when you are grossed out by something it is your subconscious telling you to get away from what ever it is that is grossing you out. Imagine your subconscious as another mind whose sole purpose is protecting you.

Well anyway I just thought this was somewhat interesting, so comment it!
