About This Quote

A lizard brain fired the gun that wounded you, but it was the combination of three brains that orchestrated the elaborate circumstances in which the trigger was pulled. In this quote, the author is discussing that a human brain can be influenced by other brains. The ability to think before doing something is more complex than just being able to think. It is a process that involves thinking more about who you are and why you are doing what you do.

This kind of thinking also involves some emotions and feelings, something a lizard brain cannot do. I believe this quote refers to the influence of three brains on a person’s life. For example, a landlord might have another landlord create a brain to be used for his higher life forms.

In this case, these higher forms would get to do whatever they wanted without having to think about what they were doing or how their actions would affect other people. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be what happened at all. Instead, higher forms were able to think and feel things more thoroughly, which allowed them to know when their actions were wrong and how wrong they were.

This makes me believe that the human brain evolved from a way where a lizard brain did not make decisions on its own and needed help from another brain before giving its input into thought processes.
