Like... the current state of affairs everywhere? Cause I'm not sure I can take ownership of EVERYTHING.

    but buddha says we're one with everything so technically this is your fault.

    Sorry I'm an atheist, I'm only responsible for my own shit.

    Deity belief doesn’t really come into this. I presume since you’re atheist, you’re existentialist, but at that point you still have to define what you’re responsible for and why. How much do you want to survive in this universe and for how long? What do you want to get out of it and how much? What do you consider to be the border of “you” and “not you”?

    Where do you define the boundary of “I” though? Your brain? Your body? The stuff you say is yours? Your microbiome? Your thoughts? Your actions?

    I'm only an expert on me, you'll need to ask someone else who isn't me.

    Why? I’m asking you who “you” are. Sounds like you may not know, which may cause difficulties.

    That was probably true back in olden times when Buddha was writing his college thesis on that, but there's at least like 30 different people today and I'm not one of them.
