(Note that this, in turn, also completely undermines the claims about optimality of speed in the next section. Those claims ultimately ground out in high temperatures making high clock speeds prohibitive, e.g. this line:
Scaling a brain to GHz speeds would increase energy and thermal output into the 10MW range, and surface power density to 109W / m2, with temperatures well above the surface of the sun

For extra clarification, that should perhaps read ” with (uncooled) temperatures well above …” (ie isolated in vacuum).
