So much logic!

Some days I just can't believe how much logic (IF THEN ELSE etc) is out there.

That sounds kind of trite, but I was just watching the CPU graph on my work laptop that I'm re-setting up and noticed (for the nth time) that multi-core CPUs pass off long running CPU-bound tasks to other cores on some cadence. You can see the switch happen in gnome-system-monitor. Makes sense, you don't want a CPU to burn out one core while all others are just sitting there (I guess).

<stoner voice>Our lives are controlled by billions of little logic if then statements, maaaan.</stoner voice>

Yep. You gotta keep those other cores in shape. Don't want them getting lazy.

Today I was tripping out on how humans are in a lottery to be have access to a society and technology that allows for them to build mental constructs of reality that aren't based on superstition and counter-intuitive observations of their surroundings, in varying degrees.

That's why I like computers. That's why I dislike religion.

I'm conflicted about computer religions. I don't trust religous computers.

Its' the kernel scheduler doing that, not the hardware itself. In that regard, the hardware is dumb as a post :-)
