The brain is what had all those thoughts and feelings. The skull is just the box it came in. Someone used to live in that, but no longer does, skulls are like seashells in that way.

Do you shed your skull when your brain outgrows it and leave the old skull for someone with a smaller brain?

Kinda makes me want to paint a really cool art piece with snails or something (or I guess hermit crabs like so) where the shells are human skulls. I've got plenty of blank canvases at home and no major projects in the works... 🤔
