“When my friend and mentor, Francis Crick was cremated, I spent some time thinking about what shame it was that all his neural matter was going up in flames. The brain contained all the knowledge, wisdom and intellect of one of the heavyweight champions of the 20th century biology” ~ David Eagleman (BRAIN)

In the book The End Of Science its author, John Horgan, is entertainingly critical of many of the leading scientists he interviews, whereas Crick is noticably spared from any such treatment -you may conclude because of his personal charm and professional integrity.
After a class on Zoology is completed, all the students leave and complete their days. Each is independent in a very real way, the cells can survive by themselves. The brain cells that interpret data may be a consortium, the interpretation may depend on which cell is most oxygenated and fed, or least fatigued by a busy night dreaming. Who answers a question first may be somewhat random, like in a classroom.
Careful assessment of every individual brain cells’ interpretation of data cancels out the ‘ah-ha’ moment of the inspirational firing of the most exciting neuron, leading to a negation of all interpretations and a seemingly diminution of the data.
