   Ooh - sharp.   
   I agree. Not such a shocking article, after all.   
   On the other hand, I am the sum of all my parts.   
   Wouldn't that imply that those bits of me that are automated, are still   
   me?   
   Wouldn't that mean, that regardless of how the mechanism works, it is   
   still my decision, action and perception of past experiences that   
   influences my reflexes?   
   While my brain might premeditate all my actions and decisions, it is   
   still ultimately me.   
   Besides, I kind of like the idea that something on me is hard-at-work.
