Dennett seems to have an identity crisis, an out of body realization
when he actually see’s his brain being kept alive outside of his body. I

that you forget, yet you know it is something. He has a very di'cult
time defining who he is and where he is, because as a person in whole,
he has been divided. He is no longer whole, he is many and none. I do
not think Dennett persist through the changes, but instead simply
struggles continuously which the thought of not being whole so much

how hard he tried to place himself as being one with his brain, he felt
he was where he physically stood. He had mentioned that he tried to
place himself as one with is brain inside the vat, but when he closed
his eyes he found it di'cult to even imagine he was with his brain, only
for a split second did he feel like he was where his brain was. Locke
