You may know scientists have been claiming for some time to have discovered a second brain - in the human stomach.
Some also argue that your stomach is the source for your unconscious decision making - which the brain in the head later rationalises and claims as conscious decisions of its own.
In this model, the brain we traditionally recognise as the source of our intelligence just acts a receiver from the neural network in our stomachs. It codes and transmits information about actions that have already happened.
You may say that information is already out of date. So, if you rely primarily on your cognitive function to make decisions it is likely to be old and partial news. (Not your primary decision function, nor your full intelligence.)
Not sure how - or if - you will stomach this, but it is food for thought!
(For more information on the second brain you can Google Michael Gershorn, University of Colombia in New York.)
