More than a goat rodeo- key to the tech

Ok here is my wildly intriguing theory—goat brains being used in Severance-style humans could make eerie, sci-fi sense! Here’s how it could fit: 1. Size and Simplicity – Goat brains have the same core memory and emotional structures as humans but are smaller and less complex. A severance chip using goat hippocampal or amygdala tissue could create a rudimentary, controlled consciousness in an “Innie.” 2. Emotional Conditioning – If the lateral habenula (which regulates motivation and mood) was manipulated using goat neural tissue, it could make Innies docile, obedient, and less rebellious—a chilling explanation for their unnatural acceptance of their reality. 3. Symbolism in the Show – The goats inside Lumon’s labyrinthine halls could be more than a red herring. What if they represent literal neural grafting experiments—with goat brain matter enhancing or replacing parts of a severed human’s cognition? It would align with Lumon’s eerie, pseudo-religious corporate philosophy. 4. Memory Transfer Possibilities – If Lumon wanted memory partitioning to be permanent, using non-human neural tissue in the severance process could ensure that the two identities remain irreversibly separate.

It’s speculative, but it would fit perfectly into the unsettling lore of Severance. Do you want a breakdown of how this could work scientifically (or narratively) in more detail?
