Well let's see how that would work. You're trying to figure out a problem in General Relativity and I'm trying to figure out how to clean a parrot cage but we both get distracted and forget everything we know about Einstein and parrots including the fact that we were once thinking about those things and all we know is that now we are both trying to remember the name of the actor who played the skipper on Gilligan's island. In that case the 2 thought processes, although originally very different, have merged and so have John Clark and Bruce Kellett. > > > The consequence is that there is one person per brain -- the same person > can't be spread over several brains. The same person can have several neurons, he can have 100 billion in fact, so why can't he have more than one other biological part, why can't he have more than one brain?
