An off topic, scary, comment on open brain surgery. I saw on TV that some surgeries are done with the patient awake. When they removed a tumor on this guy he had to tell the team if something they did affected his sight or hearing or feeling. So he could not be at sleep. Imagine that, awake while they poke around in your brain. He was really nervous about that part before the operation.
The brain is a mystery to me. So robust yet fragile at the same time. Enormous capacity, yet I keep forgetting peoples names and where I put my lighter.
I am a successful consultant and yet I can be so stupid at times. I enjoy fine arts and litterature and yet I can laugh at fart jokes.
What is up with our brains?
