Is this an intuitive personal observation of yours ("shift the brain [...] frequency")? You're on to something there.
You should look up Kaufman et. al.'s "High-Low Split" research:
> Two initial randomized experiments revealed that individuals who completed the same information processing task on a digital mobile device (a tablet or laptop computer) versus a non-digital platform (a physical print-out) exhibited a lower level of construal, one prioritizing immediate, concrete details over abstract, decontextualized interpretations. This pattern emerged both in digital platform participants' greater preference for concrete versus abstract descriptions of behaviors as well as superior performance on detail-focused items (and inferior performance on inference-focused items) on a reading comprehension assessment.
tl;dr: using a screen for cognitive tasks appears to "bring down" your thought process to a lower, concrete level, rendering you unable to perform with a "Big Picture" understanding of the task.
I remember hanging out with the Suicide Girls tech team at The Perl Conference or The Open Source Conference in maybe '99 or 2000, the one (first one?) in San Jose. So many cool stories about unbelievable (to me) scale networking and storage and bandwidth use and their website user behaviour monitoring and adaptive bandwidth limiting...
The ship is strangely generalized in design. There's no specific bridge; no command center. There's no engineering section. I can identify no living quarters. There's no indication of life.
Now, perhaps when you're ready, it might be possible to establish a relationship with them. But for now, for right now, you're just raw material to them. Since they are aware of your existence... They will be coming.
Being reminded I didn't get into it for money and recognizing the tools and ideas the masses chose to define the industry are unbelievably terrible, delusional even.
Cable ferries exist, but the longest cable ferry route is 2 km [1]. Ignoring material science conerns, energy efficiency concerns, and the difficulties they add for other navigation, cable ferries tend to be quite slow even compared to intercontinental shipping, have a single vessel per route and have a two point route.
