'Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened -- as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding -- she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another.'

Very interesting video, I've seen it before.
It shows how our left brain is the thing that makes us connected to time and space, makes us decide on past or future events.
The right half of the brain functions completely in the now and here with no thoughts about future or past.
Maybe we should cut off our left brain and live in eternal bliss :mfr_lol: unfortunately the body won't function that well anymore then...
