The upper limits of a human neuron, we appear to be infinite. This is a form, it's a very different way of thinking. Danny, it's what we call a soft technology. We are so advanced. Our engineers strive to create in a laboratory what we now are capable of doing in our bodies.

So young people are being led to believe that a computer is better than a human brain, that our brains are flawed and weak and subject to all kinds of failure modes. So scientists did a little experiment What they did was they compared a human brain to a microprocessor. And the comparison, they compared the synapses within the brain to the transistors on the processor.

And what's interesting is that we have about the same number. I think the brain has about 10 to the 14th synapses and 10 to the 11th microprocessors. So it's pretty close. But here's what they found. When all was said and done, that the human brain is about 100-fold faster and more accurate than the processor, than the microprocessor is.

The biological neurons were more efficient and they were faster. And part of that is because of the way the brain, we do triage of information. When that information comes in, we send it out to different parts of the brain in different brain states. Some of the information we may process in the alpha state, some of it we may process in a beta state.

So it's a very different way of looking at the human body from an IT perspective. But the point is that we meet and in many cases exceed the capacities of the very technology that we're being encouraged to replace our bodies with. This is, uh, uh, something that nobody's telling, you know, our, our young people.

I was a diver when I was at FIT. As an ocean sciences major, we had 30 weeks, three 10-week quarters rather than semesters of Navy-certified... And during that time, they were developing the liquid breathing apparatus so that humans can breathe at extreme depths without their lungs collapsing because of the external pressure.
