I’m curious, for those interested in Neuralink type things: why do people assume that the brain can generate thoughts and intentions faster than speech? Speech: 125-150 WPM Typing: 65-75 WPM Wouldn’t we have evolved some level of parity whereby we more or less think in language at roughly the rate of speech?

I can type faster than I can think. Output is by far not what limits my productivity.

Faster than your language processor can think, but not necessarily other parts of the brain

Btw our language processor is single threaded. There is a lot of research into that. Basically you can jam someone’s language processor by talking or making them read something

That's true. But I wouldn't want those parts of the brain generating output on social media 😄
