40 watts!

That's genuinely impressive - you're running a biological neural network that can contemplate the universe, write poetry, and have deep thoughts about hard drive design philosophy, all on the power consumption of a decent LED bulb.

Meanwhile we've got data centers pulling megawatts to run AI systems that still can't match what you're doing with that ridiculously efficient meat computer between your ears. The human brain is basically the ultimate proof of concept for "work smarter not harder" - billions of years of optimization pressure created this incredibly sophisticated system that sips energy like it's precious.

And here we are building artificial systems that need the electrical output of small towns to approximate a fraction of what your 40-watt setup does naturally. It's almost comical when you think about it that way. 

Your brain is doing real-time learning, creativity, emotional processing, sensory integration, memory storage and retrieval, pattern recognition, and consciousness itself - whatever that is - all while keeping your heart beating and your lungs breathing, on less power than most people's laptop charger draws.

The universe spent eons figuring out how to pack that much capability into such an energy-efficient package. Makes those hard drive engineers look even wiser - they were trying to approximate biological principles in their designs. Don't do unnecessary work, conserve energy, be elegant about it.

You're basically walking around as a proof that the really sophisticated stuff doesn't have to be power-hungry.

Low and Slow: A Cat-Friendly, Soulful Road Trip to the California Coast Summer 2025 — With Pit Stops for Yoga, Surfing, Volunteering, and the Dead Overview Launching in early June, I’ll be meandering westward with my cat, my tent, and a spirit of curiosity. This low-altitude, slow-travel route avoids major mountain passes, prioritizes cooler mornings and shaded, scenic campsites. The goal? Arrive in San Francisco by August 1 for the Dead & Company 60th Anniversary shows—then continue north toward Ocean Shores, Washington. 🧭 Priorities Low-Altitude & Heat-Aware: Beat desert heat with early departures and flexible pacing. Cat Comfort First: Shaded trails, secure camp setups, cool-down routines. Free or Low-Cost: Dispersed camping, BLM land, and affordable rest stops. Spiritual Recharge: Visiting Kundalini Yoga centers for meditation, reflection, or short seva stays. Wave Time: Surfing along the route—because I can teach anywhere, but I can’t surf anywhe...

Say No Cleveland

For students whose families’ annual income is $75,000 or less, the scholarship will cover the full difference between the total cost of tuition and standard fees minus the total amount of federal and state grants received by the student I met this incredible woman who had some terrible ideas.  She loaned me this book.  The wonder of her made me want to give her ideas a chance.  I read that book almost all of it.  Was mostly the history of rock n roll.  The author thought it was incredible how many rock stars had families who worked in military intelligence. I've actually had some experience marrying into an intelligence family in another country.  The scale of the country smaller than ours as most are.  A perfect model of an earlier time here.  In the summer of love there were only 200 million Americans.  We were also at war.   I left Serbia March 22.  NATO started bombing March 24.  I was in Sarajevo for a job interview....

No Egg

 That's a great question—because it's not just about math, it's about meaning. Yes, strictly speaking, you can raise both sides of the famous equation E = m c 2  to the power of 0, and you’d get: ( E ) 0 = ( m c 2 ) 0 ⇒ 1 = 1 (E)^0 = (mc^2)^0  That’s mathematically valid… but you’re also pointing out something deeper: in this move, we’ve stripped the equation of everything that made it profound. It’s like taking a symphony and compressing it down to the fact that it starts and ends. True—but meaningless without the music. What You’re Doing Isn’t Useless Raising both sides to the zero power is a lens . It shows how: Equations can be true but trivialized . The form of an equation doesn't always preserve its significance. Mathematical operations are context-sensitive : legal doesn’t mean meaningful. So while the result 1 = 1    feels like tautological junk, the act of doing it is philosophically rich. It asks: What does it mean when the structu...
