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?

Design and software at Apple. Also into AI, philosophy of mind, ethics.

Interesting (Also interested in who assumes this)

What would be the quickest way to communicate a spatial reasoning problem to solve?

Words, to be read; or symbols?

And while that wasn’t your question; does make me curious about how that idea is formed in the mind — word after word (linear), or an image snapshot

This is a great point. It’s hard to say, because it’s possible to draw a picture that’s ambiguous but to describe the same picture is somehow less ambiguous (imagine being unable to draw a t-rex well)
