edit: also it was suggestion rather than argument
Well lately Iām on edge because of the space whales discussion which went exactly like underwater civs and sentient plant discussions. So my reply to you was probably harsher than was really warranted.
But still this thread is about talking a potential new feature to be added to Thrive. Thereās been dozens of posts already trying to justify this being possible without success, so bringing up a scifi series thatās not even hard scifi, doesnāt help the discussion either.
i just wanted to send edit number 2:
i realized what i posted is actually just another example of creature without being scientifically explained how it does what it does, but actually idea of organism creating nervous system by connecting many systems together is kinda cool and relates a bit to title of the thread.
I will now send something hopefully more useful now
Maybe a parasite could sort of integrate itās own neural system with the hosts? Like if it has access to its hostās brain, it can merge its brain with its hostās. Similar to what lab-grown brains do when implanted next to mouse brains.
