Incredible. Very humbling

Humbling? That’s going on in my head. I’m that complicated! Or at least the “hardware” I run on is. I think having a brain that beautifully complex is more empowering than anything! I wonder what new discoveries will stem from this.

Por que no los dos?

I can see both sides:

Super humbling because nature's complexity can provide data storage and retrieval capacity several orders or magnitude greater than the best we can do right now.

Also super exciting because look at what every brain on the planet is composed of, and how it functions, in a freakin' square millimeter!

Crazy stuff. Wild.
