    My body is an autonomous collective. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical biological ceremony.

      We’re only pretending to be in control. It’s like being the spokesperson for an organisation trying to explain what all the different departments came up with. But on the other hand, if the spokesperson makes s compelling argument, the rest might fall in line.

    My body contains several warring factions, each with their own agendas, each conspiring to undermine the other.

    Why just last night my hand kept forcing my mouth and liver to process lethal amounts of alcohol, and all the other factions just stood by and did nothing. I believe the brain even cheered, and I wept for I was at their complete mercy.

      There’s an organization that is demanding immediate action to combat body change. All evidence points to regions growing larger than they should, and while some can look in the mirror and straight up deny anything is wrong, most are too set in their ways to change their habits. Some scream that it’s a mental health issue, but they won’t invest time to correct that, either, those hypocrites

    Honestly if you actually accept and embrace this and start treating your body better because you realize it’s actually in charge and taking care of it takes care of you life gets a lot better

    This might be the bit already, but I unironically think the body is a great metaphor for how society should run!

    E.g. different cells have different specializations, but every cell gets the nutrients it needs.

    All governments are fundamentally homeostatic but prone to sudden decompensation due to the various feedback loops they contain going wild after a certain threshold is reached. A sufficient external insult can overcome this homeostasis of course, just like underlying cancer, dysfunctional regulatory system, or an auto-immune disorder can. But it will still attempt to compensate until the system breaks down.

    My cells know better than to start any shit. They saw what I did to the appendix when he started acting up.

    I thought I was an autonomous collective.
