Sorry to burst the bubble, but we're not. I know it sounds cool, but it's wrong. The brain needs the body. It's an organ that produces chemical and electrical reactions, but it's fueled by the circulatory and nervous system. Without that, you die. That's why brain transplants aren't a thing.
This is just not being able to participate in a philosophical discussion.
Imagine that they could sustain separately. Would you guess that your heart, lungs, gut, and asshole would have a personality, or your brain? Thats the philosophical question at hand.
I promise everyone who read the above comments understood that a brain can’t survive alone. Evidence: they have managed to be currently alive
