So recently K. and I played the "Cities" game.
You know, the one where you have to name a city that starts with a letter that ends the name of a city another player just called.
In the middle we ended up discussing how exactly we come up with a city.
It's probably obvious to everyone but me, but K. just visualizes the map and walks over it to see the city that starts with a letter he needs.
To me, it was a discovery because all I do is send a message to my brain:
"I need a city that starts with L", and then I just sit there patiently, waiting for my query to be processed and the output to be returned to me.
It always worked just fine for me so I never actually realized that there could be other ways of thinking about it.
Either way, I realized that all of my thinking is done this way. This seems ridiculous. What if I get old, and my brain becomes very slow, or packages the brain sends me, get lost. Or rearranged. I'd be sitting there waiting for an answer for hours, and when I receive it, it will be meaningless. Bleh.
