So a much simpler idea, given that no one's ever found anything remotely like memory inside the brain.

And I actually asked Eric Kandel. who was in his 80s at the time and who won a Nobel Prize for his work on memory and the aplegia, I said, how long do you think it's going to be before we understand human memory? And he said, 100 years, meaning we aren't. So isn't the simpler idea that the brain is actually like this, that the brain is a transducer allowing us to communicate information

With higher intelligence in another universe. Isn't that a simpler idea?

It will damage the transduction process, yeah. Okay.

Well, I'm trying to point out that the something is something we haven't thought about in the past, and it would actually solve so many problems.

You are married to the information processing metaphor. I'm not. It's just a metaphor.

But the good news is it's testable. It's empirically testable. And I don't think it's going to take 20 years. I think it's just going to take maybe five years. I think it's because the labs already exist. And it's not like studying black holes where you can't really access them. Because we can actually study brains. And we have lots of great equipment.
