The human brain is very special. It is made up of parts which control the internal state of the body such as heart rate, which act in real-time to take information about it and turn it into actions. They also do this for other stimuli. This is present in nearly every animal, including invertebrates. Specific parts of vertebrate brains are also dedicated to this task. This makes up most of the brain function of vertebrates like fish and reptiles. Mammal brains have parts dedicated to more complicated emotions and logic to be used to learn to deal with different situations. However, only human brains have the capability of language, which goes beyond the more simple workings of other brains. This allows us to associate physical objects with abstract ideas, recognising patterns and creating connections, allowing us to deal with and predict situations better. This is done by comparing the ideas represented by objects. Our brain also allows us to plan ahead for the future and reflect on the past, which is a major reason why humans are more advanced than other animals. However, these functions may not function well and can prevent us from doing as well as we can, as we may not think about the present enough.
I think he's just making a big deal out of himself.
