1) Realize that you are a highly articulated animatronic robot, built with inefficient meat actuators;
2) think about all the things you could do in the hour or so that a king sized Kit Kat bar could keep you energized;
3) visualize the trillions of cell-sized actuations required to perform each step of each task previously listed, and the neural computation required to organize these actions;
4) compare that with the relative simplicity of turning wheel axels to propel a car down the road;
5) marvel at the power of a Kit Kat bar powering the magnificent machine that is you.
