Obviously, the report has little to do with breakfast, however I beloved the associations that the phrase has with cerebral biology, and the evocation of sci-fi, and a way of one thing each essentially human and totally unknowable.
“The word “lobes” makes me consider the physique horror movies of David Cronenberg, but in addition of the chatty comedies of manners of Whit Stillman. I actually love the response it evokes in folks: everyone is aware of the phrase “lobes,” however for no matter purpose, being challenged to outline it constantly scares them, or angers them, or makes them chuckle, or makes them inform me to “shut up.” What an important response to such a benign phrase. It’s additionally fairly enjoyable to say. Lobes.”
