Look this is great thinking... I don't want to diminish that but think of a brain like an fpga (parallel logic) not a synchronous chip with memory and fetch decode execute style steps....
We do things in a massively parallel way and that is why and how we can do things quickly and efficiently!
I think we are all forgetting something here... Android smart TVs are just an android phone that is not pocket-able.... If all of us galaxy brains here stop arguing and made a crew to make ROMS for our TVs that remove all the spyware... the world would be a much much MUCH better place!
so on this note, unless you have massive json lists... having a json object per line (jsonl) can really help this process... I use jq when necessary .. but I usually use `cat file.json | grep foo | grep bar | jq -r .thing` since it's a string, use string comparison tools rather than jq :)
