Most human knowledge is a handful of things re-stated in different semantics or cultural language

In IT things like "protected memory" are just access control problems; under the hood the algorithms to solve either rely on same physical machine state patterns; test if current user should have access to this memory (RAM or disk) and react accordingly to the test.

At the language layer though we encapsulate both in different function names and git check ins

It's bizarre

Given the number of photons and possible angles for light to bounce around would not be shocked if standing in the woods during the so-called "golden hour" observing the God-rays filter through flora is zapping our brains with more information than all the text we read on screens

A walk in the woods feels so refreshing because every where our eyes look its layers of geometric and color gradient information never repeating themselves in subtle ways; lighting up a larger gradient in our brain than the normalized minimalism inherent to text does in order for us to understand each other

Sitting at a screen however, is sitting at a screen. All that's missing is the electrodes from the computer to your brain so the obviousness its a lab experiment is unmistakable

Time to stop being friends with a computer that doesn't care you exist and go socialize
