You're not piloting a bone mech, you are it.

It feels like you're behind your face looking out into the world but once you pay close attention and look for what's looking you'll discover there's nothing there. There's no "you" in a sense that there's someone behind the wheel. There's just consciousness. It feels like something to be. A subjective experience.

That's called a massive dose of opiates. You are highly unlikely to reboot after complete shutdown, so it's generally not recommended.

Pain is mandatory, suffering is optional.
