We’re a self-replicating petri-dish neural network grown for millions-billions of years out of evolution from discarded bits of virus data, damage and sheer luck.

We come up with how we think the world works and our brains fill in the gaps to make it true. We had to create the scientific method because we’re so intensely impressionable and pattern matching that we can’t get shit right without rigorous checks.

We’re even pretty sure we don’t remember things as much as we remember the last time we remembered it and reconstruct that.
