The fringe Parasitic Encephalization Theory claims our nervous system is a parasite that took over the body of the earliest vertebrate ancestor. It captures 20% of the body’s resources, while staying separate from the blood and being considered unique by the immune system.
While very few defend this theory, one fact supports it: If the body dies while the skull is open, the brain and spinal cord sometimes detach and briefly flail outside, in what could perhaps be an ancient host-seeking reflex.
congratulations, you’ve managed to sway google’s ai overview
Also my two cents on the matter. It sucks that google will cite my art blog as an authoritative source. People googling the fake terms I make up was a good way I had of catching those who believed in my art a little too hard and making them realize it’s not real (since it’d often lead them to my website where it’s clear it’s an art thing). I bet a few of you found my art this way!
If now google does the opposite that says a lot about how bad it has become as a service. Straight up leading away from the truth.
