You pool the information.

People have different histories.

They have different skill sets, and they parallel process the puzzles, and they come up with ideas, which the most amazing adaptation of all is

is the one we're using right now.

The ability for me to put an abstract idea into your head over open space by vibrating the air molecules between us, I mean, that is a miracle.

Pretty crazy.

multiple minds that are not physically touching each other to process together concepts, it's truly stunning.

And in conjunction with the generalist robot that can use tools, it's an amazingly good strategy.

Or is it just being poisoned?

We're being poisoned.

And we're being poisoned in a particular way.

I would say we have effectively threatened to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

The normal pattern for human beings is you inherit your ancestor's world.

Every so often, that's not true.

Every so often, a generation finds itself in a brand new circumstance.

You kayak across some body of water and you end up in some foreign place in which the animals and plants aren't the same and your old way of life isn't going to work and you have to bootstrap something new.

It's the same as it's similar to the first flying mammal is suddenly faced with a whole set of opportunities that it has to figure out how to solve.

But the point is every so often a generation gets a wild curveball and it has to start not from scratch but close to it.

But in general, OK, that first generation figures out how we're going to make a living here.

And it passes that information on to its descendants who have a lot of room to refine what their ancestors figured out.
