Is that the mind of the fish, or of the last person who got trapped there?
How long can a human mind actually survive in a fish brain? There might not be a difference after a while.
The previous fish seems to be pretty nonchalant about operating a human body, so I assume it was a previous glass-tapper.
The new guy had better get to work studying the art of mind-swapping.
This comic seems to be in a world where consciousness can be swapped between brains and it isn’t an emergent function of, and thus an integral part of, a brain.
Consciousnesses would be off in some “consciousness space” and their interaction with reality is through the limitations of whichever brain they’re currently associated with, but they’re otherwise unharmed.
This is a bit like Superman gaining powers when getting close to a yellow Sun. Or even someone gaining “speed powers” by driving a car after walking. Who or whatever was interacting via the fish now has full human power.
It’s true that it’s possible that this world works like that, but we don’t actually know whether it works indefinitely. It’s entirely possible that a mind still gets molded by the body it inhabits, even if it is separate enough to instantly zap into a different body. Maybe it works like in Animorphs, where most of the basic functions are governed by the animal instincts and the human consciousness is somewhat separate from it (animal emotions still affect it), but if you exceed the time limit you can’t morph back anymore and your consciousness slowly becomes more animal-like.
That fish looks to be an oscar, theyre fairly smart for a fish, from what ive heard, so maybe a little longer than usual?
Had one in a tank long ago. I don’t know how smart it was, but those things are crazy agressive, it was chasing everything else in the tank.
I used to dip my fingertip below the surface and it would immediately charge to bite it. Also ate entire earthworms about its size like nothing.
Man that’s a good question!
Yes.
The fish happily married, had 3 kids, 7 grandchildren and happily retired for 27 years after a long fulfilling career and peacefully died of old age.
How the hell did captain Ginyu get into a fish in the first place?
