I mean, I was blown away by this book.

Got an autographed edition.

I interviewed him twice on my old Bitcoin podcast.

But basically what it says is that there's an editor.

that's editing reality for you before you even get a chance.

There's a half second delay between what happens and you realizing that it happens, but your editor is telling you that you did it and it happened in real time.

Now, you gotta sit back with that for a minute.

This is physiologically proven.

to nerve synaptic readings of your nervous system.

So in that half second, that's a lifetime for computers, for example.

And I can get into that in a second, what it means for AI.

Because once AI fully understands that you have a half second delay, it can live in that half second and do stuff you don't want to think about.

But I don't want to scare people and not being dystopian about it.

But in that half second delay, what's going on is your bandwidth is only...

about, I give it 30 bits per second.

Now, anybody that's looking at bandwidth knows that 30 bits per second, like for this stream, is thousands of bits per second.

How do we deal with it?

We deal with it by exformation.

There's information and there's exformation.

And the editor in our brain is forming reality.
