That is fighting talk. My ego will kick the shit out of yours. Mine is bigger and more badass.

My perception encompasses all and is somehow at the same time confused by what this ego thing is. Your ego is irrelevant.

[frankiej]

My ego is omnipotent.

the model in quantum theory which states that everything in our physical reality does not arise until it is perceived by an outside observer

It seems like that article is using the outdated Copenhagen interpretation.

You see this all depends on what theory in psychology you're referring to. The concept of the "Ego" means many different things in psychology. Freud thought that the ego was a part of the brain that correlates with the Id and the super ego. Personally, I believe in the theory Freud came up with of the three parts of the subconscious mind working efficiently as a unit. But i also believe that the ego is our perception of ourselves and can easily be confused and dressed up as something else, if you will.
