The tendency of evolution is not towards homogenization but towards preserving distinctions, which is evident in the way the two hemispheres of the brain function together yet separately.

The brain is divided into two hemispheres, which is a common feature across many species, not just humans. This division raises interesting questions about its purpose and implications for brain function.

Albert Einstein's brain had significantly more folds than an average brain, providing him with greater surface area and more neurons, which are biological antennas that connect us to a vibratory field.

The corpus callosum, the band of fibers connecting the two hemispheres, primarily inhibits communication between them, suggesting that evolution has favored this separation for a reason.

The human brain is not optimized for making the best choices; it's designed for behaviors that feel good, which can lead to dysfunction.

Creating a high bandwidth interface to the brain is essential, as we currently face limitations in how we connect our digital selves with our brains.

Our physical embodiment is essential to human intelligence and consciousness, as our brains help us navigate and manipulate the complex world of objects in 3D space. The biological brain is designed for smarter movement, and all other aspects of intelligence stem from that.

The very best engineers have different brain structures and problem-solving approaches, which is often underestimated by institutions.

Many people intuitively believe that if you replace every neuron in a brain with digital structures and maintain the same functions, your conscious experience wouldn't change significantly.
