Yeah, I've done way too much reading on biology, neurobiology, neuroscience, et al ad infinitum to think it's a simple thing. The brain itself, there are parts of the brain that work against other parts of the brain that confuse other parts of the brain, and existential angst, basic human stupidity, cognitive biases, logical fallacies are due to how the brain's intermingling parts are matched and mismatched (evolution is trial and error, after all)...

I'm all for the "I am the universe, and the universe is me" line of thinking, but one concern I have about that: when I die, I want to DIE.
