Is AI giving us Donkey Brains?

  • "The Primeagen" goes over a study that shows that actual BRAIN ATROPHY takes place in those who rely on AI for too many things.

    It makes sense -- when you cheat on a video game (cheat codes, etc.) you put in less effort, you get the output "for free" -- but what happens? You fail to put in effort and learn how to properly master the game. Nothing is free.

    Want to say "thank you"?

    This is peanuts compared to how scientists have observed the difference between the brains of millenials who use their smartphone a lot and Tibetan monks who have tens of thousands of hours of meditation practice. What has happened to the Western world? We always have to be doing something, no matter how dumb it is.
    Blaise Pascal once said, "our evils come from the fact that we cannot sit in a room and be content with nothing" or something like that. I got it from a book called the power of silence by Cardinal Sarah.
    I already know that Buddhism is a false religion and that Pascal was put on the Index, but the point remains.
    Does anyone know how to not have thoughts for one minute? Or to focus on something for five minutes before getting distracted? There are ways to train consciousness and attention, and we must utilize it.

  • Our donkey, Nino (named after the donkey on the movie “The Reluctant Saint”).

    Strong, intelligent, loyal, protective, affectionate, willing as long as your idea isn’t stupid. Most donkeys could be described that way. He needs to pick on another animal! :laugh2:
    Religion clean and undefiled before God and the Father, is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their tribulation: and to keep one's self unspotted from this world.
