It continues to boggles my mind how so many people are walking around with a narrator and movies playing in their head, and how I went through decades of life before I realized that was a thing

How do I know where my keys are? I just remember the location of my keys…I don’t see them, I remember their location. It’s one of a million little quantifications of the environment my brain does for me automatically all the time. In fact, I generally notice and remember where all the keys I see are, because I think of keys as an important object to keep track of

I won’t remember what they look like, except as a very general impression. I’ll probably remember if they’re big or small bunches of keys, or if they’re on a lanyard, but I probably won’t remember if a keychain is red or green. I’ll remember it’s on a side table near the door, or on this side of the room.

But I’ll remember qualia of the keys. I’ll remember if I see an individual put them down somewhere, and if there’s something interesting about the keys I’ll probably remember that, but generally? I probably won’t remember much except the general location

At the end of the day, I remember what I notice, which is generally what matters to me subjectively. My mind stores everything as impressions

This one makes a lot of sense though. You have a built in way to clean the panels through the trains, the panels are protected by the rails, and theoretically nothing should be putting weight on them (in practice the weight of a human or maybe a cow - at most)

Plus railroads last a very long time. Basically until we rip them up

We don’t need a solution to transition away from fossil fuels, we need lots of solutions. We really should be putting up solar panels anywhere and everywhere they will survive for at least a few years. Even if it’s 70% as productive as a properly angled panel, so what? We don’t need to min max here

We need production ramped up and capacity online as fast as possible. If solar railways become a new source of demand, that means more investment in both

It’s like solar roadways, except once again trains are the natural evolutionary end point

Wait… This isn’t click bait? Audible expression

I haven’t seen that, but the memory footprint is insane
