The best way to think is to write.

Externalize your cognition. There’s already so much going on inside.

Spiders’ webs are an externalization of their nervous systems.

Ant colonies are superorganisms. Spiders don't (usually) form colonies. So maybe the spider superorganism is the spider plus the web.

Humans can be both solitary and eusocial. We’re also able to externalize our nervous systems. We also have a collective unconscious that proves we are a superorganism of sorts with our fellow humans.

We get to study what other animals do and do it our way. Change strategies at will. The ultimate shapeshifters. Citizens of the world.

Whatever 4D object is casting this shadow of a mosquito floating around my head is the one that’s casting the shadow of me standing hunched over this table typing on my externalized consciousness which I've placed on top of a stack of paper plates.

As long as I can externalize my cognition, and as long as I have cognition in the first place, I will literally, literally never run out of things to say.

I bet spiders think so, too. I bet spiders think things like “I will literally never run out of silk to spin these webs. I could literally go on spinning forever, and the only reason I stop spinning is because there are other things to do, like eat and sleep.”

I feel like a spider. But also like an ant. And a plankton, fuck it, why not. Conscious inertia.

I’m just… I can just be a phytoplankton floating on a breeze going wherever it takes me. Make oxygen and stuff. Metaphorically.
