homo sapiens is the cyborg monke
what truly differentiates us is not our bipedal posture, our hairlessness, nor our self-awareness
but rather our capacity for complex language, which comprises a memetic host, & hence allows for the integration of the natural and the artificial
typical monkes are intuitive emotional beings, w/ outputs smoothly & continuously generated from inputs, biologically
in us, however, much processing flows thru an artificial apparatus in our minds; the linguistic structures we use to reason. what is this if not technological?
unlike the minds of other monkes, we are not merely a raft floating on an endless emotional ocean, but akin to a massive oil platform, a cognitive superstructure we can reconfigure at will, downloading blueprints for new extensions w/ language
thru memetics we transcend 🐵🤝🤖
we are cybernetic organisms, even more so than most, directly embedding auxiliary cognitive machinery in the fabric of our minds; we truly are a tool-using species
much power is unlocked thru this cognitive extension slot, hotswapping tools for thought
