People are not robots.

People are not perfect.

Bodies are made of flesh.

Flesh is no perfection, but just good enough

It is not steel or marble, cast and carved into shape, but grown through experience and infection and bruising and hard work and every experience you ever had.

You will never look like the photographs you see of the beautiful people because the beautiful people themselves do not look like that.

Accept that you are who you are, imperfections and all.

If you do not, who will?

Well, exactly. I have very little faith that we will ever have complete understanding of our own brains, because they aren't linear devices, but far more complex parallell devices whose power comes from the fact that they are so interlinked.

I'm willing to believe that we will understand bits of our brains, but even then we may have to build other minds to understand our brains for us :->

And yeah, it's all allegory, except for the thing, which we only have experiential access to. Very annoying.
