On page three, he/she betrays a thought that consciousness is somehow disconnected and infused in the meat sack after the fact. It's the only way to make sense of the question "why wasn't I somebody else". It's either this misunderstanding or a gross misconception of what happens between fucking and birth and early childhood development.I realize my question was probably poorly stated, but please don't make the insulting mistake of confusing me with someone who thinks the mind and body are separate. I take offense to being lumped in with people who could think such ignorant things.
