By the way about, if not for the logistics of skull size, brain surgery being hard in general, and the almost comically enormous ethical problems, I'd five a fair chance that we could do something similar to a mind meld today given a pair of identical twins and steam cells.

Wow, thanks! That's AMAZING, it'd be really fun to learn some more about those.

Also, due to this I've updated a LOT towards trusting that class of intuitions more, including all the previous Absurd predictions of it. The world is a LOT more interesting place to be now!

Also related to trusting that intuition more, do you know how to get cheap and safe electrodes? >:D
