Good point, Soroush. I seem to impress those around me with my intelligence. Since we know for a fact that some people can have permanent brain damage and still function effectively, you have me on this one, Soroush. There are two cases that I can recall where there was massive brain damage and the person did not seem to have any functional problems whatsoever. One was a girl who grew up with "water on the brain" and who had very little brain cortex, yet she managed to function normally and even get a college degree. Another was a girl with a missing hemisphere. I am sure that there are many more, and many much less severe. It is all a great mystery, but true. Since we have not opened my head up, it might be possible that I have brain damage. Those who disagree with me and dislike me certainly think so. (:->)

Re: brain damage and migraines
Brain damage can show itself in many ways.
It can have physical and observable sign - as per the cases you have mentioned.
It can have chemical imbalances - like Parkinson's etc.
It can have functional imbalances where the THOUGHT processes are affected.

Re: brain damage and migraines
I do notice that I mix up '5's and '7's. That happened quite suddenly and I suspect that it might be brain damage. Also, as I have aged, I also notice that when hitting an arrow key on the keyboard and actions like that, that I tend to tap the key once too often. And then my memory has not be as good as it used to be.
But let's face it, Soroush, you just want me to doubt my ideas about the transcendental nature of homeopathy and any other things that we disagree about. (:->) It won't work. (:->)
