Did You Notice?

Our brains are biological computers, all the information in it has to come from somewhere (the laws of physics don’t allow information to be created out of nothing, in quantum mechanics this follows from unitary time evolution), so our entire personal identity is actually a combination of that of many other people, which means that we are not necessarily plagiarizing anything when we write what others have written before.
