Ah, yes the good ol days of punch cards and switch boards and electron tubes, when will the youngins learn that their fancy transistors are for pussies
I always appreciated Dunes idea of a mentat, basically an accountant trained from birth and juiced up on brain steroids to have equal computing ability to a high level AI. Usually when I think of the way human conciousness may evolve and trancend its current capabilities my mind goes right to the psychadellic-bro conciousness expansion and non-localized astral projection stuff, its interesting to consider there are other potential paths to augmenting human conciousness and what other boundaries could be pushed.

No binary monstrosity could ever replace just doing it in your head.
