This is the quality of thought that I come to HN to experience because I have a hard time finding it in other places.

The amount of assumptions about what it might mean to "think" coupled with a seeming obliviousness to those assumptions is quire masterful.

The dumbest people making the most confident statements about thinking...

I love it.

I am going to print it out so that when my great-great-grand kids are hunting angus beef on the plains of what used to be the US they will have some understanding of how the late 21st C version of a Butlerian Jihad came to be.

This is beautiful and I hope that all you folks actually do stop thinking even harder than you already have, because it might liberate the rest of the humans from the Torment Nexus v3.0 you folks seem so dead set on rolling out post haste.
