times 0.07 is over 3 billion, no, over 3 trillion volts, 3.5 trillion volts of electrical potential, which is- In our body. In our bodies. Now, we don't actualize it all the time, but what if you could harness that for your own healing or to optimize? optimize cognition, optimize whatever it is we're going to do in our lives.

But it doesn't stop there because we're receiving photons of information. We're transmitting photons of information. We already said the DNA in our bodies, our DNA stores information. And let me just use the terminology and see if you've heard this before. The DNA in our bodies stores every successful genetic transaction in our species in a way that's transparent, it is immutable, and it's secure.

And if that sounds familiar, it should, because that is the basis for what is the new financial system of the world, the decentralized financial system we call blockchain technology. Blockchain technology mimics the way information is stored in the DNA of our body. Really? So once again, I'm saying all of this that we build around this is mirroring what we already do in our bodies.

They compared a human brain to a microprocessor. The Salk Institute in La Jolla is where this actually, I'm doing this from memory. Salk Institute in La Jolla. And the way they did it, for our techie engineers out there, is they equated the synapse in the human brain between neurons to the transistors on the chip. And interestingly, the numbers are very similar.

On a modern microprocessor, it's about the same number of synapses we have in the brain. Then they did the studies, and what they found is the human brain is 100-fold faster than the processors. Wow. Here's the beauty of where this goes. All of those computer chips, man, they're fast, they're accurate, hands down, but are they scalable? They can only scale

as far as the limit of the physics of the stuff they're made of allow. So if it's a silicon chip, the atoms are in predetermined geometric patterns that make silicon, and information can only move so fast across those. So fast, yes. Efficient, yes. Scalable, not so much. Now, human neurons.

Every time they push a human neuron to the edge of the limit that has been accepted in the textbooks, we do what humans do. The neurons morph and they adapt and open up an entire new vista of processing capability. And we do this again and again and again. What is the upper limit of a human neuron? We don't know. We may be infinite when it comes to scalability. That's soft technology.

You can start with the easy questions first.
You can start with the easy questions first.
There's an emerging philosophy in the scientific community right now, I think, that will help to answer that question. This is completely unscripted. I don't know where we're going. I'm going to follow your lead on this. So I'm going to begin by sharing that philosophy. And it begins with a statement that simply says that consciousness informs itself through its creations.

And we break that down, what it means is the things that we build in the world around us, everything from the books that we write and the art, the sculpture, the dance, certainly the music,
