> If you ever code something that "feels like a hack but it works," just remember that a CPU is literally a rock that we tricked into thinking.

Is the "rock" "thinking" though? What _is_ "thinking"? Another way to look at a CPU is as a rock that we "carved" to conduct electricity in a specific way. It doesn't think - we interpret how the electricity flew and "think".
