it's weird that aristotle thought the brain was for cooling blood or whatever. and the ancient egyptians threw the brain out instead of sealing it somewhere special.

was it not obvious that the brain was important? if they could dissect this well, wouldn't they notice the spine, and all the myriad nerves running through the body?

would they not notice the optic nerves? wouldn't they think 'hey our eyes are connected to this big gray thing maybe that means something'

wouldn't they naturally notice that the seat of their thoughts is their head? don't they hear things in their skulls?

did they feel their thoughts in their chests instead?

am i weird for feeling my thoughts as taking up a physical location inside my skull even though that feels like the most natural and reasonable way to experience a thought?

have we been prompted by the past 500 or so years of medical science teaching us the power of the brain to associate head with thoughts?

is it just me that's weird on this and most people don't physically feel their thoughts bouncing around at all?

...could i teach myself to experience my thoughts in a space outside my head? could i make thoughts live in my entire body? outside of my body?
