You also need a capacity to interpret your memories, to draw lessons from them. Otherwise they are useless. Feelings may be one way to do that, but not the only one. Logic is another. In any case, even our memories and our feelings are functional.

In a related story, 100 new government jobs have been created. . .

We may disagree on empty skull results, but not on actual pink brain slices.

Why the obsession with the "pink slices"? Would you discard the liver as functional because it can be cut into slices?
