The best way

to think is to write.

Externalize your cognition. There’s already so much going on inside. Open up the valve and let the pressure out.

Spiders’ webs are externalizations of their nervous systems.

Ant colonies are superorganisms. E pluribus unum. Spiders don't (usually) form colonies. Maybe the spider superorganism is the spider plus the web.

Humans can be both solitary and eusocial. We externalize our nervous systems, like spiders. We also experience collective consciousness, like ants. When we connect with other humans, we become a superorganism of sorts.

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 same one that’s casting the shadow of me standing hunched over this table, typing on my consciousness-externalizer (keyboard) 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 never run out of silk to spin these webs. I could 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 can be a phytoplankton, floating on a breeze, going wherever it takes me. Making oxygen and stuff. Metaphorically.
