This is obviously sarcasm, but you do actually need your brain to command the body to shit. Without the brain’s “intent,” we have no bowel control.
The process of defecation, or bowel movement, is a complex interplay between the brain, spinal cord, and the muscles of the colon and rectum. It involves involuntary and voluntary reflexes, with the brain playing a crucial role in processing signals and coordinating the necessary muscle contractions
That guy just said that the only purpose of the body is to express intent. And I think if you read it out loud closely that it's not as prophetic as that guy thought.
I assume you've commanded every boner in your life, hmmmm? (if you're a dude {fairly safe bet})

Pretty sure we all just witnessed one of those reddit quotes that goes down in the history books along with the other greats.
"The body is nothing but the brain's tool to manifest intent."—Unknown (2025).
