What I found so interesting was how the brain was capable of seeing, understanding and learning and in a completely new way. My whole life I've lived in a single state of mind, how many other states of minds are there. Surely, there is a reason for the brain being able to alter so drastically. What is the point of having such a function if there is no use for it in the past or the future?

And that may have been how people first came up with the concept of afterlife, the world of the dead, etc...
Why do spiders under the influence of equivalent chemicals make strange webs? Because we are chemicals... Arranged in such a complex form that a few minor changes don't cause the whole thing to crumble.
