The human brain is vastly overrated...vis-a-vis many higher animals... Human language and abstraction merely create another confusing alternate "reality" for people to deal with!
Which is likely why many people seem so distracted most of the time...! For example, Evangelicals, Jihadi, Republicans...etc. They have their brains in a twist because of false notions...and abstract realities of their own construction.
You never see this confused state of mind in animals...since they don't have to deal will the alternative realities created by language and abstract thinking.
