The Bottleneck

Nobody asked but …

The brain can process thoughts in a volume that is orders of magnitude beyond what we can process vocally. The spoken communication is the tip of the tip of the iceberg.  And, yes, freeing oneself from seeking to control what others process may be the greatest freedom. The brain can process thoughts in a volume that is orders of magnitude beyond what we can process aurally. The same massive reductions also occur in reading and writing.
