If I thought 30,000x faster I would kill myself. It's sort of like that "Flash nightmare" where he goes so fast he's waiting an eternity for someone just to breath a syllable. Imagine being able to process information 30kx faster but still be limited to communication methods through senses that are radically more limited? That is hell, that is "The Jaunt".

You mean, you'd kill yourself 30,000x faster 8-).

If it matters to communicate outside, sure. But if you're inside a synthworld with everyone at the same timebase, it's not a problem. Essentially, you're evolving 30,000x faster, so with enough minds in the synthworld, interesting things will happen...

I feel like if you adjust the world to equalize, you've just moved your reference point and therefore relative to yourself and everything around you you're still at base 1:1. So normal as here and now.

30000x is bigger than you think!
