    I suppose it is for the best, but nonetheless I find it uncomfortable how our bodies have the ability to manipulate our brains’ memories and our consciousness residing in the same place cannot do anything about it

      These chemicals are our memories. They aren’t manipulating it. It’s just how it works.
