I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately; human languages are only 5,000 years old. Humanoid spatial reasoning, intuiting “enough heat, food, water” is a set of fundamental problems we evolved to survive.

I’d say it’s more than just “all brains” and say “all bodies”. Maybe our brains gave us the ability to generate syntax to capture meaning but our bodies play a role in letting us know when we are “cold” as a response to external measure. A body is a gradient of spatial points, matter interacting with fields; not just the brain.

Rigid physical models of the past must give way to updated awareness, an idea many have understood throughout time. People missing 80% of their brain have gone on to live full lives, graduate from higher education, succeed in a career. The brain is not the center of our awareness, merely a component.
