People go ga-ga over the brain and all it can do. I'm glad to
have one honestly. But, dissatisfied over common analogies to
the brain; telephone switchboard, Internet, computers,
electricity, physics, I tried to find something more accurate.
Then, when I discovered Cerebrospinal fluid and how it
functions. There. That works better for me. Engine parts washer.
It's funny because I went into the TOTAL OPPOSITE direction of
what I normally do. I usually get all abstract. But to get very
solid, functioning metaphor, I went into a direction I knew
nothing about: cars, engines, etc. I realized I always talked
thought engines, brain "running" (analogizing to an engine
running) - slow, fast, etc. But I wondered just HOW LITERALLY I
could take that analogy.
Turns out, a lot closer to reality than I would've ever thought
possible. [1]t Yeah; it's extremely unsettling. I made the
animated .gif above just a few minutes ago. I searched for a
video that showed an engine parts cleaner vibrating, with the
cleaning fluids recirculating... and wanted something kinda
pretty.
But then in the middle of one video, I found THIS: the oil-water
separation feature. The bubbling, primitive goo was _very_
striking and almost painful to look at. I knew then it was
perfect.[2]NPH_MRI_272_GILD [3]giphy
