The eternal battle between theoretical elegance and monkey brain instincts! Homer's thought experiment shows a sophisticated monkey with weights (left) transforming into just... a monkey (right). That's basically every physicist trying to maintain deep conceptual focus before their primitive brain suddenly goes "SQUIRREL!" The grand unified theory can wait—there's a notification on your phone! Even Einstein probably had moments where his brilliant calculations about spacetime curvature were interrupted by thoughts of what's for lunch. The struggle between higher cognition and primal instincts is the true constant in the universe.
