Wtf is BoingBoing.net lmao
It actually has a pretty interesting history. It was huge in the 2000's. Started as a Zine in the 80's.
Weird to hear of people who has never heard of BoingBoing.
I had an anatomy instructor who insisted that neural activity was a purely chemical process and that the electromagnetic stuff was just a byproduct that got all the attention because it was easy to detect. His central argument was that nerve transmission speeds are no faster than 150m/s which is somewhat slower than the speed of light you'd expect if neurons were little wires transmitting signals.
