🦠 Antibodies

When we know each other, we are actively colonizing each other’s brains. I take in information about you, and in doing so I rewire neurons so they can run a living model of you — a model that predicts what you’ll do and how I should respond. You’re doing the same to me. It’s like an immune system for the social world: I absorb your patterns the way my body absorbs antigens, and I build neural antibodies that let me recognize and respond to you instantly.
