I know that some people might find the notion of the brain being everything as dehumanizing, as somehow making us seem less than we think we are, but I don't think you need to look at it that way. I find the idea of the brain as being the 'center of our universe' as empowering and powerful, because we have the capacity of doing a tremendous amount with our brains; of creating incredible art; of inventing useful tools; of doing great good. I find the notion of the brain being 'all there is' as inspirational.
