functions vs thoughts
a mosquito has a very small brain
but that small brain is packed with functions
to enable it to reach it's goals
to find host and feed on host
a mosquito is not creative
but it's effective at it's task
and because a mosquito is not creative
it's easy to lure it to kill it
but it's difficult to lure a mosquito in a swarm of mosquitos
because that swarm of mosquitoes uses collective intelligence
to anticipate their host's movement
the human brain is large and full of functions
but the cerebral cortex is only a few millimeters thin layer at the surface of the brain
were conscious thought is supposed to happen
small mice with small brains can do a lot of what humans can do
a humanoid robot with a processor
that had the intelligence of a mouse brain
would probably be a better worker than most humans
