Re: About Mind Usage

An SF Short story I read long long ago (and can't find now) had an
interesting twist about the mind.

This human meets a space parasite which can mind meld with him and for
certain assistance provided by the parasite agrees to allow the parasite
to do a FULL mind merge (which involves entering the humans body and
some other stuff I've forgotten).  Anyway, the FULL mind merge only comes
at the end of the story and the parasite lied about it not damagiung
the client.

The story ends with the parasite discovering that the human already has
a parasite (one of its race) inside him and that the symbiosis has been
going on since early cavemen walked around.  The symbiosis is that the
parasite makes up 80-90% of what we humans call brains.

Hey, it was neat at the time.
