You own your brain in the same sense that you own modern devices, you own it but also can't really modify it and there is some closed source shit that really control it (lemmy.world)

Well, kinda. The brain is the hardware "the mind" is the software. If we could separate the mind from the brain we could upload ourselves somewhere to live forever. So IMO my brain is just where I keep "me".
