The Brain as a Computer Program
We’re trying to see if my grandma will adjust to assisted living, so we are taking her daily but not having her stay overnight yet. She eats and participates in activities, and we take her home after dinner. Today I had to drive my grandma to the assisted living home, because my dad had an appointment in the morning. Talking to her, I tried to figure out how she was processing our conversation. I think I figured it out the code her brain uses. I think it’s the same code inserted into all elderly people’s brains during checkups. Forgive my syntax. I haven’t written code in a long time.
while destination != arrived {
ask(select_question(4));
while answer != received { listen(response); }
respond();
erase(answer);
}
if tissues || napkins { grab_stuff(pocket); }
