You have to get more particular (and/or plenary) and less mereologically "faithful". Ironically this will help you connect to "others" in a meaningful and non-instrumental way.
You are multitudes, you are multifaceted. Singularity of consciousness creates the illusion of singularity of identity.
But consciousness and mind are not the same thing.
There are many "small parts, loosely joined" that make up each of us and ourselves as a larger consciousness.
"consciousness is in the brain, the way the radio station is in the radio"
I am not a collection of labels/chemicals/atoms/collapsible probablility fields. I am ineffable, and you must confront me in person.
