The old question of perception and reality has made its way from philosophy to physics and neuroscience. In cold mathematical terms, you don't exist.

It's a short post with a lot of meat. Read it and consider: objectively, as much as we can conceive of such a state, your parts do not make up your whole. Consider also, however, that self is a construct: you may be an illusion in terms of physics, but in terms of day-to-day life, you make your reality. (This is both a good thing, since it gives us at least some sort of anchor for ourselves, and also a bad thing, since it gives us the machinations of Karl Rove.)

So the deconstructivists weren't completely full of hot air.
