Kinda lame that people are downvoting this.
I've had the same perspective for quite a while now, but hadn't been able to phrase it this cleverly.
Our neocortex is, by any definition, vastly more "intelligent" than the rest of our brain. Yet it doesn't attack the cerebellum. In fact, it takes orders from the older "lizard brain"!
Heh, yeah that's a clever analogy as well. (and thanks!)
