Why does no one else seem to have a feeling of identity with their whole brains? Why do they not take ownership of all their actions?

I'd rather go a step farther and identify with my whole organism. But the real action isn't in how one parses one's identity, but in which aspects of oneself are targeted for change and which are accepted.

From Phil's post:

When I say "I", I mean the conscious part of this thing called Phil.

We think that we, the rational part, can do a better job of managing our team.

Conscious part and rational part aren't the same.
