As neuroscience and brain imaging advances we find that there is a myriad happenings in our brain in reaction to events. This advance in technology would appear to be removing us further from the notion that there is an essential self. So is 'self' your 'I' no more than a chimera, an ephemera, a fleeting ghost?
Something we have been told we have by interested parties, politician and religisio's in a pre-scanner age.
No doubt as technology increases in it rapid advance and provides further proof of the non-existence of self, this fact will be accommodated and appropriated by the interested parties of politicians and those of a religious bent. Ah well, such is the way of the world.
It was Foucault who pertinently pointed such interested parties have an interest in constituting and maintaining this fallacy, for the very fact they need to appeal to somebody.
