Epigraph (#u20858402-22c3-55c7-a062-7f4c70aebd2b)

Creating a neural [brain] lace is the thing that really matters for humanity to achieve symbiosis with machines.

—ELON MUSK

Ain’t it strange the way we’re ignorant

How we seek out bad advice

How we jigger it and figure it

Mistaking value for the price

—PAUL SIMON, “So Beautiful or So What?”
