You are more than just what is in your skull, in fact, without what is outside of you, you couldn't be born, couldn't survive.

A trivial observation.

For some people, who you are is only the neural tissue in your head.  Psychosomatics indicate that it is your whole body.  And sociology says that individuality is relative, not absolute.

And a worthwhile observation.  Noting a trivial observation to point it out has merit.

This is why the Left moves us toward extinction, as does the Right.  Both are devoted to reality denying idealism.
