Your brain time-travels every time you approach your favourite coffee shop. That anticipatory lift you feel?
Scientists at McGill just watched neurons literally shift backward in time—from the reward to the cue.
This isn't a metaphor. It's measurable, visible biology.

🧵As AI systems grow in sophistication, some people are supposing chatbots are moving toward being conscious entities.
This is incorrect, but we should be more precise about what consciousness and perception are.

The breakthrough: don't suppress chaos, navigate it. Learn to work WITH your network's rich, high-dimensional internal dynamics instead of forcing them into rigid order.
It's the difference between damming a river and learning to read its currents.
Your brain has a limit—around 7 things.
