Steven Webster, a senior marine biologist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, in Monterey, California, concurs. Instead, there's a metamorphosis. Saying that they eat their own brain is like saying that a butterfly eats a caterpillar. It totally changes its life. A sea squirt recycles what it doesn't need into what it does need.
Nothing goes unused or wasted.
The way sea squirts function actually does remind me a lot of businesspeople. So many people in business seem to have little or no brains, and the business world itself can be such a primitive system.
