the greatest machine

The greatest machine ever invented is the human brain - it works faster than you think: perception, intuition, and sensitivity are still relatively inexplicable even in specialised fields of neuroscience. The mysteries of our minds are man's real final frontier. While some fear and fixate on artificial ultra-intelligence in singularity scenarios, the infinitely codified and simultaneous nature of neural signaling in the brain machine is simply impossible to mimic. This is a strong argument for not wasting the power of these precious assets on repetitive, logical tasks that can be automated. The place for process automation is in releasing the potential of higher order skills to areas where it will have most impact. Areas that require evaluation, judgement, and creative problem solving.
