People who have grown up with good brains get used to thinking with their brains, and rely heavily on them. When their brain is damaged, people take several weeks to months to retrain themselves to think with their soul. It’s like growing up with legs; when a person’s leg is suddenly amputated, they find it difficult to walk (or run).
People can learn how to think without (much of) a brain through special training, or by being thrown into the “deep end”. I won’t discuss the special training here.
Thinking without (much of) a brain employs different thought processes:
One example of non-brain thinking is “Gaussian thinking”. A person’s soul collects lot of facts, storing them away as a “scatter-graph” of fact “data-points”. The facts aren’t evaluated as true or false at the time they’re learned. No conclusions are reached until the person asks themselves a “question”. Upon asking the question, the data-points are clustered into Gaussians... kind of. The most-prominent Gaussian determines the answer to the “question”. Gaussian-thinking must also take into account mutually-exclusive conclusions – An object cannot be both black and white at the same time... or so they say.

Many planets are intelligent and self-aware; their built-in planetary defenses include enormous “crystals”.

Macropods do not often vocalize while speaking, limiting their phoneme set to mostly unvoiced phonemes – no “a”, “e”, “I”, “o”, “u”, “m”, “n”, “r”, etc. To counteract a reduced phoneme set, Macropod languages rely on more unvoiced tongue-generated sounds, most of which are unused by Hominid languages. Tempo is a critical phoneme differentiator, much as the word “too” and “to” are differentiated by duration.
Macropod tempo poetry is a form of poetry where rhyme is secondary to the tempo of the words, as well as the tempo of the phonemes in the words.

The “bell is ringing” when you not only have no idea who and when you are, but you have no idea what laws of physics you’re operating under… and are in fact experiencing several “laws of physics” sets at the same time.

War Update (written 23/8/2010) oops -
Approximately 400b Hominids live in the Milky Way, not 20b.
-
This highly-inaccurate number was published here due to intentional numbers misinformation and the fact that many hominid planets were hidden. Consequently, 40b - 60b Hominids live in the Orion Spur, all several-hours spaceflight from Earth, depending on the traffic.
-
Many Hominid planets were hidden behind “walls” of other planets. Their telecommunications were hidden using their planetary defences, and the planetary defences of the surrounding “wall” planets.
-
Most Hominids have been disclosed to. Around 10b-20b technological Hominids in the Orion spur have NOT been disclosed to.
-
The death-rates for non-Hominids, per indigenous Hominid and per invading Hominid, are more like 100x – 800x.
-
Unlike what said I before, most Hominids are not starving. Food production is difficult though, since they rely on spaceplane transportation of oil (fuel for farming equipment), spare parts (for farming equipment), and food (from farming planets to city planets, or from continent to continent). They don’t have any horses or oxen to pull ploughs and carts either – In general, they have no large mammals left on their planets, period.
-
Some Hominid planets have recently experienced a dozen 1-gigaton bombs after their Hominids have introduced planetoids/moons into non-Hominid planets. Planetoids/moons destroy planets for millions of years, while gigaton bombs do so for only thousands. Many non-Hominids plan for the future. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_Bomba)

One type of deneuralizer works by emitting quaternion EMR (electromagnetic radiation) that confuses people’s souls, and interferes with the connection of their souls to their bodies. The EMR waves also causes electret microphones to record an annoying hum/buzz. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternion , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electret_microphone)
See this video for an image of a deneuralizer, held by the person in the back:
