What do you mean?

Like a page has on average what?

Like a couple hundred words?

Yeah, I have pretty eidetic memory.

And you read it in a couple seconds?

Yeah.

So, all right, help me wrap my primitive brain around this.

Are you actually picking up each word or are you somehow... I take chunks all the way down.

So you're somehow, is it like subconsciously picking up paragraphs at a time?

They're people that can do all sorts of things.

You know what makes me think is that throughout, anthropologically speaking, along the evolution of the human species, we've had all these neurodivergent individuals, people with incredible capacities, savants that can just come into life seeming to know how to play Mozart, incredible capacities.

If you take the transhumanist route to its ends and we become these biological cyborgs, you would think that all of our sense organs would then become vestigial and our brain would atrophy in many different ways.

A lot of these capabilities would then go dormant.

So a lot of people, I've explored this with Greg Braden and a few others, deeply worry that we go down this path where human and AI and tech merge into one and we lose what makes us human in a sense.

So if you're 50 and your death expectancy is around 80, by the time you're 60, it pushes to 100.

By the time it keeps pushing back the goalpost.

If you can live the next 10 years, you can probably live forever.

You think we're just going to be able to solve whatever the core issue of aging is?

Brian Johnson seems to be a very big proponent of this these days.

And David Sinclair is working on different aspects of this.
