I’m working on a longer post but, in the meantime, I have three short videos highlighting human ingenuity. What I like about these videos is that they’re not about earthshaking things, such as curing cancer or creating world peace. Instead, they’re about fairly mundane things — i.e., drawing, home design, insect removal — but each nevertheless reminds us that our brains that are, quite possibly, even better than an octopus’ brain. Moreover, we bring this brain power to so many facets of our daily lives.
