Nearer to sanity than most. That says more about the culture than me. #BTFSTTG http://discord.gg/vsJb9K6

      The really unique thing about the human mind is that bit, just there. Like, literally, though we're using analogies, that's the bit that makes us weird and special, relatively speaking. We're optimized for being walking FPGAs

      We do almost nothing of interest in fixed hardware anymore, and spend significant time using our impressive FPGA and CPU power to combat undesired effects from our legacy hardware (the amygdala, for example, lol)

      Things you spend significant "CPU" cycles on get optimized and compiled and <chunked> into "FPGA" logic at night while you dream

      And that's literally what dreaming is and why it's so important, cognitively. Every night you rewire and optimize the FPGA that is the neocortex

      The one layer of hardware that we do have that is worth mentioning is the visual cortex. It's insaaaanely powerful and for better and worse (optical illusions, anyone?) it is not malleable like the neocortex. But it is wicked powerful

      This is why I'm so excited about AR / VR UIs. Hard to understate how much this will allow us to do. All I can say is, if you've seen the visuals in Sherlock (the BBC one) and Iron Man 3 when he's recreating the crime scene, you'll have intuited—done right—what that can do for you

      But anyway this is why it's so important to spend lots of compute cycles on "reason" vs other things. As Aristotle said, "we are what we repeatedly do". This, it turns out, is pretty much literally true

      Probably the final thing worth saying about the original tweet, is that as a social species with the invention of language and now the internet, our individually relatively-weak software layers scale in ways that are almost too incredible to put to words

      As a result, we all have things we've condensed into mostly hardware that are the result of quite literally trillions of individual manhour-cycles of Reason

      There's probably something I could say here about freeze peach and whatnot but we'll keep it optimistic and out of the realm of the political-adjacent
