The ego is the animal spirit that is in charge of your physical body you stupid mothafucka!

It controls your INVOLUNTARY muscles movements, your hormone distritbution, you memory storage any many other things so you can waste your time to feel sorry for yourself.

The ego isn't "artificial", it's a biological program run by the spirit of an animal that happnes to live with you in the same body. While it's mostly busy doing all the manula work, you sit here and talk rubbish and then act surprised that the demonisation of the ego is causing you more shit then it solves.
