Because then you’d need a second brain for your brain to interpret the signals from your brain. Picture a burglar alarm system. It’s got sensors on all the doors and windows, and motion sensors to tell you when an intruder is in your house. All of those sensors report to a centralized console which then has a connection to your security console. So, when seurity console is damaged or turned off, where is it supposed to send the alert?
