Simply put, the switching doesn’t do anything by itself. It’s the meaning we assign to the arrangement of on-off switches. Much like flag signals, the flags don’t do anything besides be visible and locatable. Yet, we can establish a communication protocol with flags, lights, fingers on a hand, etc. this signaling is done electronically with many layers of meaning and complexity, and nowadays at unfathomable scale and speed.

I love cilantro but one time I tasted the soap flavor. I had done a stir fry with cilantro and left the spoon in the still hot pot and there had been some cilantro stuck to the bottom of the spoon that sat there and cooked for as long as it took for the big pot to cool down. Then when I was doing dishes I picked up the spoon and I saw big bunch of cilantro so I ate it and it was horribly nasty and tasted like straight up hand soap. I thought for sure that some soap fell or splashed onto it but no it was just the cilantro. Never happened again either.

I “slept” on auto train between fla and va. It was not good. The tracks are not straight and the train swings side to side a lot. Couldn’t sleep too well at all. It took a long time to wait for all the procedural stuff like unloading the cars. Basically ate up two days instead of driving for one day.
