DrSingularity runs a thought experiment on million-fold faster cognition: one subjective second would feel like 12 days, a minute nearly two years. A single afternoon could stretch into centuries — you could explore thousands of ideas before someone finishes asking a question. A weekend at that speed would exceed the entire history of written civilization. A YouTube version of the video is linked.
