Um, no.
Amazing as this is, a fly's brain gives zero insight into human minds.
They are very, very different things.
Human brains are not neatly divided into CPUs and GPUs and RAM and ROM.
The analogy with computation is not just flawed, but fundamentally wrong.
Similarly, modelling upwards from "lesser" creatures, such as flies, is a flawed approach.
Your brain is not capable of feeling anything. Or perceiving it.
Only you are.
"You" are an emergent property of your brain.
I used quote marks in "lesser" to try to express contempt for the term.
Sorry if that missed the mark.
It's not about how long-established a species is. It's about claims made with no valid basis.
I bow to your expertise.
But I would suggest that a human 'mind' (whatever that is) is an order of magnitude more complex than a human brain (which we understand reasonably well, though very much incompletely) which, in turn, is an order of magnitude more complex than, for example, a fly's brain.
So my point, I suppose, is that the headline is misleading. You can't draw conclusions about human minds, or thoughts, from animal brains, because they are not us and we are not them.
If that were entirely accurate, we couldn't learn anything from, say, studying my brain about your brain because we are entirely different individuals.
And yet, we share things while, at the same time, we are different, as you say.
I agree that a connectome is not transformative - we've had the C. elegans connectome since 1986 and still do not understand how it actually works, with only 302 neurons.
But the contributions to understand any other brain is not zero, I'd argue. It may be little, but so far we don't know that. It may be a lot?

The Fight Over Who Writes the History of Modern China
As China celebrates 75 years of Communist Party rule, there is a fight over who gets to tell the history of those years. The party would prefer to make sure the story is a positive one and is exerting power to control that narrative. One high profile example of that is playing out far away, in California.

“The defendant asserts that he is immune from prosecution for his #criminal scheme to overturn the 2020 presidential #election because, he claims, it entailed official conduct. Not so.
...his scheme was fundamentally a private one
...he pursued multiple criminal means to disrupt, through #fraud and #deceit, the government function by which votes are collected and counted—a function in which the defendant, as President, had no official role”

Much of the anti-woke and anti-CRT dog whistles are about infantalizing voters about the issues that gave rise to the Women's Movement, #BLM, #MeToo , and Civil Rights social justice.
