they literally sit on top of the rest of the body, account for 25% of resting body glucose consumption by themselves, and don’t actually do anything except order other parts of the body around and infecting themselves with idealist constructs like ‘language’ and ‘consciousness’ just so that they can better convince themselves and the rest of the body that they’re the most important organs around.

Steban, the Student Communist - The young man gives you a slightly confused look, as though he’s sure you asked something else and he simply misheard.

Volition - No, he heard you crystal clear.

In old german literature there’s the idea of the bourgeois brain, which is basically just when a character was invested in bourgeois philosophy. In German, bourgeois can be translated to bürger.

Literally burger brain
