    It astounds me how some of the things we’ve implemented in computer technology have shown to be true with us as well, this is exactly how a hard drive works, if you wipe it’s memory, unless you do a full clean, it just removes the lookup table for all the data, you can still retrieve the data unless it’s overwritten by something else.

    I genuinely think the gap to bridge between bio-organic computers/augmentations is not as wide as we once thought

    This example alone is not the only reason, there are other breakthroughs that have made me think this, but this one is also very interesting

      I’ve always been told the “brains are computers” thing was a bad analogy but I’ve never been able to understand why it’s bad if it fits so damn well

        Tbh I’d say that it’s backwards, the computer is a more basic brain, in ways.

          Computers are just attempt to recreate the human brain… today you just need to add some kind of thinking / “consciousness” to reach it

      It’s more protocol issues and good hardware at this point, I think… and implementation that doesn’t risk increasing megalomaniacs’ power over others.

      Nah, we just live in a Matrix like simulation. The reason our brains operate similarly to computers is because they are computers.

    Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.

    You need to forget about the details in order to grasp the essence.
