I feel like a Brainlet

[Anonymous No.11329622]

Do you guys ever get glimpses of awareness where you catch your attention slipping and realize you are just a bag of bones, blood and nerves with a limited brain capacity shackled down by our evolutionary history sending tons of involuntary thoughts and urges you have to constant battle.

I feel like stupid, retarded brainlet that cannot function without some stims. Am I the only one?

[Anonymous No.11329626]

I wish I was stupid enough to not be able to realize how stupid I actually am.

[Anonymous No.11329631]

yes, lately I feel like I solve problems a lot slower than I did when I was young. I don't know if the problems were easier back then or if my brain is really deteriorating because of diet or something, but it's a really distressing feeling.

Same, maybe life wouldn't be so difficult then. I cannot even clean my room and watch after myself without taking stims, time just flies me and before I realize I am surrounded by chaos again, exhausted and tired

yeah I think I realized it while reading philosophy or something like victor frankel.

realize that the existence is purposeless and we are driven by the instincts to survive, reproduce etc.

might be depression usually depressed people talk like this

No because I rightly don't identify with my brain.

have that exact glimpse feel all the time. but stupid relative to what? other animals? no. other people? some few definitely. the cap of possible intellect could be? definitely.

This yeah, the thought always wonders in my mind. What'd human existence and consciousness feel at the cap of intellectual potential?
I feel so limited mentally, and the thought that I could devout every waking hour of my life to the study of Math or Physics and never truly understand it in it's fullness is depressing.

Makes me wonder if we, or I should be focusing on biological engineering or neuroscience so we can hopefully get to the point where we can artificially get us to a higher cognitive point that send us skyrocketing through with progress, in all of the natural sciences. Or just do Meth I guess, at least it feels nice for a while

You'll understand it, Anon. Trust me. Just take your time. It is understanding reality that you will have the most trouble with. Not the math or physics.

i don't think biology is capable of it. the speed signals are passed down nerves are too slow compared to electric circuits. go with AI instead.

>It is understanding reality

That's what motivated me to get into Math & Physics sadly, I might one day be able to understand the topics taught in books, but I don't think I'll ever truly see the full picture of it all and that sucks massive balls

When is such AI coming?

most likely at least decades away. but could be a breakthrough at any time really. would be surprised with the existing hardware, i think that at least needs another half decade. tho there have been leaps outside of x86 architectures.

Math and physics will bring you closer :) And it is like this for everyone. Nobody sees the full picture.

yeah well i.q. isn't everything. as a gmo human i can say it sucks having plebes constantly asking you for help and advice. this fucking sucks.

A lot of intellectuals do not, but that's really a mistake. You are in fact your brain and not a separate entity from it, nor can you escape your emotions either.

No. I have green eyes and my mother is Rh negative. I am descended from the Elohim. The Nephilim were there in those days, and the days after.

you ever read the short story Understand by Ted Chiang? Some interesting thoughts on this issue, and like all his stories, excellent.
