We Are Making a Brain

Exploring the fascinating implications of humanity's role in constructing a global digital brain

The human brain consists of billions of neurons, each responsible for transmitting information to other neurons through complex electrochemical signals. These signals travel along the neuron's axon, jumping from one neuron to another through synapses. Despite their critical role in information processing, individual neurons are not conscious entities. Instead, they work together as part of the larger, intricate network that forms the basis of our consciousness.

The Internet: Humanity's Collective Brain

The Internet is often compared to the human brain due to its vast, interconnected network of information. Just as neurons transmit information within the brain, we humans exchange knowledge, experiences, and ideas through digital platforms. In this sense, we are akin to the neurons of the Internet, contributing to a broader collective consciousness.
