Or as I like to say, our Software might be up to date but our OS and BIOS are still legacy.

Is your idea that Software could be an analogy for our worldview, OS could be an analogy for instincts and BIOS an analogy for genes or do you mean something entirely different to my interpretation?

Precisely. There is a (now outdated) model called Truine Brain model which proposes three layers of intelligence: the cortex which is responsible for higher thinking/planning/executive functions, the limbic system responsible for 4Fs/emotions, and the basal gangalia/brainstem responsible for basic functions like movement, homeostasis and etc. It's uncanny how this matches closely with the Software/OS/BIOS analogy.

This is great. I'm putting this in my favorite comments.
