    I'm always confused about that term cause isn't wetwork a caldestine ops mission, usually killing? So why is wetware not related?

    Still yes your brain, even if not functioning to what people call normal is your only one and if you realize that probably working better than many people's are.

    different source for the term. Hardware is your computers components, software is the programs running on it. Wetware comes, I'm pretty sure at least, from cyberpunk fiction, probably Gibson, and it's just your organic brain, in the context of a setting where people often have implants directly interfacing with it.

    Wetwork is basically a translation from old russian gang slang for spilling blood.

    Wetware implies the fifth secret thing of dryware.

    As compared to software, firmware, hardware, wetware.

    Stoneware probably goes in there someplace.

    Wetware = brain. Brain is wet. Software is stuff that runs stuff - mind/self? Where is that , exactly? In neurodivergent or mentally ill which does not run as it "should", where is the glitch? So many medications are "exact action not known". Kinda like kicking an old tube TV and it worked. Pregabalin's action is prior to Gabapentin. That is certain.
