Btw funny observation. Why do people tend to separate themselves as a person from their mind/brain/thoughts. Did some dead german philosopher already write about that phenomenon by any chance?
Brain is a single organ, whereas the human called Koa_lala is a collection of organs and parts all working together holistically. The sense of self is distinct from any single organ, like your stomach is its own character too, as well as every other individual part of you.
i think it's the memetic interpretation of the idea of ego, superego, and id. freud's one of those thinkers whose ideas have had a really outsize effect on the lay understanding of the self, even if freshmen college students tend to think he was a sex weirdo and pseudoscientist.
"The brain" is the raw output of a slab of electrified meat. The random unbidden thoughts and instinctive reactions that pop into your head. "You" are the intelligent being observing that output and choosing how to act on it.
Like HumanBehaviorByBjork said it's basically the Freudian concept of the id and ego.
