i know! but humans be like "hi i'm a human i have trained myself to tune out a large portion of my sensory data because i didn't understand it well enough for it to be actionable when i was five"

this is literally the 1st time the shift has been presented as a developmental one to me. i knew they were filtering (would've made my life a LOT easier if i'd figured it out) but as a developmental "choice" holy fuck bc the sensory streams eventually DO become useful

once you have the processing infrastructure to perform real regression on that much data, it's immensely powerful in terms of prediction. but only so much can fit through a birth canal, huh?
