If I go to bed early, I have to get up and pee at some point during the night. And since it’s way too cold, I’ll usually lie awake for half and hour before I can actually get myself to leave the bed.
Hahaha, that’s exactly what I’m doing now! Lying here trying to get myself to get up out of my warm bed, into the cold, and go pee so I can lay back down.
It doesn’t help that this weather is painful hell on my joints & I keep waking up in an intense panic that leaves me super anxious for ages. Why must our bodies be the way they are!? I want a refund.
My understanding is that it’s not that simple. By your logic, humans also have several brains. for example, your spine is doing some processing on the signals from your limbs. it’s how that reflex works when the doctor hits your knee with a hammer. the signal travels to your spine, the spine recognizes some pattern, and returns a signal to jerk your leg. the signal doesn’t need to reach your head to trigger the reflex. basically, your whole nervous system is the brain, it’s just that the vast majority of your nervous system is inside your head.
it’s the same for octopi, but much more extreme. I think they have like 50% of their nervous system in their ‘brain’, and the rest is distributed across their tentacles.
feel free to correct me, I wrote this entirely based on my memory so I might be off.
This is one of those complex topics that we don’t truly understand well yet
We’ve called them a distributed intelligence, because they do basically have a core brain and auxillary brains - but is there really any other kind?
It seems to be to be something like their core brain is in control, and the auxiliary brains are a combination motor cortex/occipital lobe (vision is our primary sense, but even though their eyes are better they have taste+smell+touch+em sense? All over their tentacles).
Conversely, we also have a brain worth of neurons in our gut and a lot of capacity to learn reactions at the spinal cord. Our brains could also be described as several brains clumped together… Personally, my fingers know a ton of things I don’t know consciously.
We also have the capacity to “run” two human level intelligences - server the link between the hemispheres and you can get an auxiliary person who can have different opinions, understand language independently, and even communicate separately through writing
We really don’t know how brains work, they’re black boxes to us. We know that “if I destroy this region, it will impact that capability”, but in a more fundamental sense? We’ve barely scratched the surface
I’m typing this while waiting for my 3.9 years old to fall asleep (she was up extra late today) Then it’s time to get her 12 year old brother to bed. I can hear their mom wrangling the 9 and 10 year old brothers through the evening routine right now.
I don’t know, I just use Aniyomi because it’s working fine. When making a request like this it helps to know why you want to switch and what features you need so that people can recommend something you want, because it’s unlikely for apps to share every single feature. i.e are you looking for local playback, manga reading, tracking integration, extension support, so on and so forth.
There’s a spiritual successor to Tachiyomi called Mihon that’s supposed to launch in a week or so. It’s being worked on by the same guy that runs the TachiyomiSY fork
