I've always liked the idea of calling it teaching rocks to think, but maybe it's more like using rocks to teach math to think.
Using lightning!
You cannot convince me science and technology aren't just magic by any other name.
You bring up the question of whether it's the rocks that think or the math that thinks using the rocks... What are we when we think? (meaty bags of mostly water propped up on calcium sticks that makes it's own lightning to think?)
That's a question worth getting high over. I'll need to ponder this.
