Bitch, please!

" Nor, if we could watch a spark dart across a synaptic gap in the brain, would we cry out, "Mom!" or "Uncle Toby!", for thinking is conducted by entities we don't know, wouldn't recognize on the street."

The following are responses to this quotation from my classmates.

-Thoughts are composed of chemical reactions of synopsis, and these things are only significant to us because of how we experience them.  We feel sad because our brain tells us to, but without our brain doing that, we wouldn't feel very different.

- Our brain is a part of our body that makes up the whole works on it's own, we may or may not know the movement of synapses in our brain, only the result of it.

- Our brain similarly works like hypertext.  If we don't know something right away we urge ourselves to think until a spark of knowledge finally comes through.  It's like we didn't know a word and the hypertext linked us to another source with the answer.  *Hypertext works like our brain the way it sets up ways to find more answers.
