Classic Freud. Just seems like we have "other selves" because the human brain is far from well organized, memories are sometimes completely erratic, hence thought also.

A brain...an item by which we think we think.

#2 Classic Freud indeed. The Id the Ego and the SuperEgo. Karl is identifying "himself" as the Ego. The Ego is the part of the psyche that speaks inside your head in your predominant language. The Ego is your conscious mind. The ID is probably the part that told Karl about the onion. The ID is heavily identified with emotion. The SuperEgo, also known as the Executive Brain, looks down from above at the rest of the mind which is called meta-cognition. Meta-cognition is thinking about thinking. In this video it would have been the SuperEgo that told Karl's Ego that what happened was weird. When people talk about expanding consciousness they are talking about becoming more aware of what each of these parts of the brain are doing. Normally the Id and the SuperEgo operate in the subconscious and it is by engaging in thinking about thinking that we can expand our consciousness.

There are so many people nowadays, like those two individuals on the left, that are not capable of holding a sincere, intelligent conversation about a subject. They act like know -it -alls, don't listen and keep interrupting. Sad!
