[ExI] Machines of Loving Grace

[Adrian Tymes]

More accurate to say, the uploaded mind would have a lot more reflection
and contemplation in that one second.  Not literally 1,000 ideas, but that
1 idea gets much more refined and spawns sub-ideas.

Actions get more measured and precise.  Ever had to react because there was
no time to think?  Sped-up minds wouldn't, at least not for most of the
same situations.  Playing sports is closer to chess, to them.  Boredom
management is a problem when their entire physical existence is like that,
but there are ways to handle that, especially with implanted
telecommunications and other things the mind can be doing while the body
slowly goes about its day.

One example: I, in my current form, take about 20 minutes to shower and get
dressed.  I could perhaps optimize that - some of that time is spent
contemplating what combination of colors I wish to wear that day, and there
are some redundant motions - but let's say 5 minutes as a practical
minimum.  As a 1,000x accelerated mind, that would be 5,000 subjective
minutes: nearly 3.5 subjective days.  You can be fairly certain that only a
small part of my bandwidth would be set to running the physical actions of
getting cleaned and dressed to face the nearly 2 subjective years before it
is time to sleep once more.  (Though, given how sleep is tied into
restoring and resetting the mind as much as its effects on the body, sleep
schedules might well be different.  A constant cycle of spending 1 minute
awake then sleeping for half a minute - or more precisely, 57.6 seconds on
then 28.8 seconds off, working from subjective 16 hours then 8 hours -
would likely not prove practical.)
