Speed of thought while crunching through a complex problem-
Inside my own head: 100gb/s (lan)
However, when a solution is found and it must be *explained* to someone who spent 20 years shuffling paper in a bureaucracy, that bandwidth throughput hits 56k last-mile status.

Moral of the story is that people with deep levels of understanding and true, accurate, ability to swiftly pivot concepts from one knowledge domain to another are constantly bottlenecked in the explanation phase of communication.
But that is our burden to bear and should not complain about it. It’s the way things are.
If someone complains about people “just not getting it”, and everyone involved is indeed trying in good faith to understand, then the failure is on the side of the smart person who has been unable to optimize the message in a way which can traverse the 56k bottleneck efficiently.
