☝🏼 thanks for linking the discussion!

Just clarifying that the movie 'Arrival' (based on Ted Chiang's 'Story of Your Life') wasn't a direct inspiration for self-attention.

If you go to thinking take your heart with you.
If you go to love, take your head with you.
Love is empty without thinking,
thinking is hollow without love.
