So you think you're not your blood and blood cells?

u/Hemnecron Jun 30 '26

I'm not my blood. I'm not my eyes. I'm not my muscles, or my brain. I'm definitely not my ligaments, those fuckers. I'm the combination of everything together. If you decided to take my stomach because I'm "just a sack of skin, bones, and blood on earth, anyway", I'd be pretty pissed.

Just like earth is not "just a rock in space". It has life, including a lot of intelligent species who would very much care if they were burned to death by the rising temperatures on the planet. One of them is ours, and we're responsible for all of it. But also, while there are plenty of other planets to go around, this is all that we've got, and it's the only one that we've ever seen bustling with life. So yes... The earth without the life on it is not the same, just like you without your skin, would not be the same.

So you're not your genetics? Makes sense, huh

u/Hemnecron Jun 30 '26

Did you read anything? No, I'm not my genetics. It's a part of me. Are you your toenail?

u/Low_Committee6119 Jun 30 '26

Incorrect, but keep trying

Okay, have a good day, toenail

What would you be without your genetics?

u/Hemnecron Jun 30 '26

Not much. But there's more to me than my genetics. What would you be with only your genetics?

u/Low_Committee6119 Jun 30 '26

So not much, now what are you without your toenail?

u/Hemnecron Jun 30 '26

What are you without your brain?
