Human encode infomation into special series of symbols which they call “language”. Which the nature has
information transmitted in the form of waves – images and sounds.
Even for human, the decoding of nature’s wave-form information is much easier and faster than human’s
own creation: language.
Because the decoding system for waves is embeded into human as “instinct”, so deep as to the gene level.
But language requires learning and teaching, and use of higher mental power.
PLAUSIBLE ARGUMENT: amout of information is measured by bits. A 1M information in an image is much
easier to grasp – both global meaning and local feature, than a 1M text file.
ANALOGY: Python vs. Assemble, or sophisticated graphics code vs. GPU.
IMPLICATION: human is used to encode everything into language – causing slowness in think and imagin-
ation etc. While the real power comes from using of born ability — the level of use of aforementioned
physical “decoding” varies from person to person, this may partly decide what a genious is.

Probably. You can scan a crowd because you have a hardware-level implementation for that;
you can’t multiply efficiently because that has to go through multiple levels of emulation,
at least one of which has a severe lack of reliable memory.
BINGO!
