your brain is like x

 A thing I've noticed is that a lot of people try to make comparisons to explain the phenomenon that is the human brain.

The brain is like a muscle.

The brain is like a computer.

The brain is like a little person piloting your mech body.

The brain is like a soggy computer.

The brain is connected to the stomach and really your stomach is your brain and your brain is your stomach where the food gets dissolved but the food is ideas and the stomach acid is cerebral fluid.

People will say stuff like that all the time. People like it for some reason when you call things different things than what they are. Which doesn't make any sense to me. 

True wisdom is true wisdom! Or rather, true wisdom is calling things what they are. Or rather, calling things what they are is calling things what they are.

In language this is known as a 'tautology'. Saying the same thing twice. Like saying, your brain is your brain. A lot of people find this kind of speech annoying.

They probably think it's annoying because it 'doesn't provide any new information.' Well do they ever consider why the need new information when all of the relevant information has already been given to them?

If I tell you 'an egg is an egg' and you tell me to say more, do you want me to tell you an egg isn't an egg? Do you want to be lied to?

This is the start of my tautology era. My tautology era has started. Days are days. Nights are nights. Sleep is sleeping. Bugs is bugs.
