      We’re not ghosts. We’re programs running on biological computers. Electrical charges and chemical signals coursing through fatty tissue. Reality is far more fascinating than any fiction we’ve ever come up with.

        Electrical charges and chemical signals coursing through fatty tissue.

        Akshualy, it’s not electrical charges (like, plugging a wire) but cascades of ion potentials triggering. Main difference is speed (neurons/nerves being way slower) and built-in touch-sensitivity.

        And also not programs, since we are hard- and software in one.
