Interesting paper, thank you for sharing. I love the quirky analogies, and when you look at the perspective of a brain storing 50TB (some say 2.5 petabytes), it's pretty amazing.
In recent years I appreciate the idea of neuroplasticity - new knowledge creates new neuron bridges. The more it’s used (repetition), the stronger and faster it becomes. And if you haven’t used that pathway in a while, refreshing memory strengthens it. (Neurogenesis happens at the hippocampus area - memory, learning, emotions).
I also think subject matter and depth impacts neural connectivity, for example, if you're deeply exploring quantum computing and neural networks in a scientific context daily, after a while, your synaptic plasticity reaches a different level—more integrated and stronger from various angles like deep analysis, idea generation, and outcomes.
I do enjoy broad topics as it often comes together like a big puzzle but I think you are a way bigger curious chaos than I am, gangster level =)
From the paper, I also liked the idea of unconscious processing - that lies within implicit memory. I think verbally communicating thoughts will tap into both conscious and unconscious processing and help one articulate better. The challenge is finding similar wavelength communication mode or person that enables you to indulge in your thought processes or interest, deeper.
On Shannon’s law, my quirky analogy is that it gives great r/ship advice between 2 parties - low SNR, nearer distance, clearer transmission, remove interference lol
I find the concept of serial and parallel processing rather amusing - there is always a gender misinterpretation to this but I believe multitasking depends on types of tasks and cognitive load. Between you and me, you likely advance multitasking and I expedite serial tasking.
Optics is a really interesting angle - I leverage diff screens to double check my work as I notice I read it differently. You might write on notes on your phone differently then elsewhere. I don’t know how this correlates to shift in attention but I believe visual context impacts cognitive processing.
On neurons, psychedelics like shrooms likely does housekeeping of neuronal interconnections and promote neurogenesis and neuroplasticity but I haven’t fully learnt the long-term impact or frequency
I do believe there is a correlation between neurogenesis and emotional strength.
I think it helps a lot to understand one's own self and best ways to advance forward. My twin nephews are both ridiculously smart and while both differ from each other based on how they grasp information - both are able to apply these angles for mutual causes (we are building a marble sorter next :) )
There’s also many other factors - environment, experience, need etc that strengthen brain execution power and speed. I have been experimenting ways to optimise my time for years - speed, focus, awareness etc and still want to do so much better.
It's a good piece, very wholesome way of looking at it. I enjoyed reading it.
