> The human genome comprises only billions of bits, much of which is low-information repetition. We constantly find out that certain things are actually really important even though we thought it was junk. Recall that our best ability to test Genes is by knocking them out one by one and trying to observe the effect The brain is comprised of many extremely specialized sub systems and formulas for generating knowledge. We don’t know English at birth, sure, but we do have a language processing capability. The training baked into the brain is a level of abstraction higher, establishing frameworks to learn other things. It may not be as storage data heavy, but it’s much harder to arrive at and is the bulk of the learning process (learning to learn)
