This is not strange given how our brain, no matter how complex it may be, is one highly interconnected organ that never stops working. It seeks to integrate, to find solutions to dilemmas posed by daily life.
How often have we not woken up at 3am in the morning with a novel solution to pressing questions that we could not solve while awake? Interlinking, integrating, interlacing… that seems to be how the brain works, or at least when we let it work. Most of the time, we do not actually allow it to do what it is meant to do. Instead we try our hardest to steer it, seeing it as the definer of our identity and therefore in need of perpetual superego control.
There is no doubting the brain’s anarchic nature. If left to itself, it may plot criminal plans every other week, entertain sexual thoughts every other minute and commit heresy when not doing the first two. In fact, it might even think up a satirical joke every now and then.
