Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I feel like you are on the route to a good concept, but you haven't quite made it there yet.
I believe over the next seven to ten years you will continue to refine this concept until it is actually a good concept and something that you can share proudly with people, But right now it's not well thought out enough, or cohesive enough to stand on its own.
The brain does not fill up with information. It has more than enough storage for a 120 year human lifespan.
Rather, people tend to rely on their previously acquired information because there's no novelty attached to refining your previously acquired information, and by default, human minds are novelty-seeking devices.
Another thing is that there's the possibility that the use of psychedelics can restore the novelty effect, Which would not erase previously acquired information, but rather put a new tint on them.
I imagine that we as a society would be much happier if we had a process where we could do something like that on a regular basis, every five to seven years or so just to reset our minds inside of a structured ceremonial system, Just to help prevent us from becoming too bored, our neurons too tarnished, our minds too inured with ennui, to enjoy life.
