@istewart @sneerclub One thing Andreessen, Thiel, et al. have shown a real skill for is finding ways to use a LOT of computing power. Even if only as effective debtors-in-possession, I’m sure they’ll figure something out.
@TinyTimmyTokyo Amphetamine (and related stimulant) psychosis is a well-characterized syndrome.
@Soyweiser Not as a primary focus, but as a background fact, e.g. Trantor in Foundation.

@Soyweiser @sneerclub It is not possible to understand neuroscience using a “hardware/software” paradigm. That is a model created by humans to make building working computers possible. Brains develop without any such abstraction constraining the process.
