It's also floating in liquid.
Yea, I was gonna say, it's really wet in there too. But at least it's got a snug blankie membrane of sorts that does all its local feeling for it, since it couldn't actually detect any of these things for itself with no nerve endings of its own.
For a second there I thought you meant feeling as in emotional and was really confused haha
I just imaged the membrane hugging my brain like "don't worry, I got you, focus on keeping this idiot alive"
I am amused at the idea that ones brain would be making derogatory comments about itself in the third person.
It feels everything for us but can’t have feelings of its own. Tragedy. 😔
