Ever since I had my brain surgery, (not sure if it is entirely dependent on what im about to say), my perception of reality seem to be foggy or disrupted. I no longer view the world the way I did a few years ago. Its almost as if im a robot that just drifts through time living what life he has. I feel like Im not me or rather I feel very disconnected with reality. I still do things like I used to and my personality is roughly the same.
Anyone else have this happen to them, does this having something to do with become mature?
P.S. This famous picture is somewhat inspiring to me. You will notice that god and the angels create the outline of a brain. My take on this painting is that our world and perception is entirely created with out brain. God being the all mighty entity that he is, could possibly just be a function of understanding relative to the brain
Im posting on more than a couple boards because I need answers. Thank you.
Where did they operate? What was the procedure?

They removed a benign glioma tumor the size of a quarter in the left frontal lobe. Relative to other brain surgeries this one was much lower risk since it was easy to get to and not malignant.
Interesting. Take a bunch of psychoactive drugs. If they don't work, you'll know there is a problem with your brain chemistry. If you find yourself tripping balls, that would be a good time to do some contemplation on your issue. Psychotherapy works.
Have you noticed an increase in situations where you do something, then immediately realize you shouldn't have done that, even before seeing the consequences of the action?

Woah dude you're like the first person to think of this
>>8719846
with our brain***
but yes I know people have thought the same, the reason I said that is to spark a conversation.

Alright. What do you think of descartes? All natural and physical laws we know are simply based on the fact that they have worked everytime. We hit a ping pong ball with a paddle, and the ball moves the opposite way. Etc.
We can't know if anything is "real" or even if our physical brains exist.
We're not even sure if we control our thoughts.
The only thing we can know for sure is that our mind thinks, and therefore our minds, if nothing else, exist
>>8719866
I think, therefore I am. I think Descartes was a smart man.
