Again, sounds like a very interesting idea you presented, and I'd like to see some research confirming this so I can improve my own understanding.


Cheers.
The other thread where you asked me to clarify my point about sociability and shallowness ties in with this as it's about states of being and how they are achieved, plus how different functions may be allocated to a body part and in a society (jobs) but when an emergency arises, you don't say that is not my job but go back to general functioning to solve the crisis because it affects the survival of the whole organism or society of which you are a part. My other post before this may be helpful too (same thread). The point being that specific tasks have to be performed in a society or body but who does it can change to stop fatigue from over exposure (Sensory white-out where you become blind from concentrating on one task for too long) or wear and tear (retirement/illness). Study ants and termite societies for an understanding of this: 'The body of Landru' (Star Trek episode mentioned in other cannibis posting).
