Is the Gray Matter Re-Usable? Or What?



A lot of research has been done into the phenomenon of the human brain and brains in general. It is extraordinary. But now we must accelerate the investigation into some incredible sorts of hazards the human brain faces that are now perhaps as never before looming on the horizon.

We must accelerate the investigation on what, if any, damage the rapid and accelerating obsolescence of technical necessities has on the human mind. The average person is confronted with having to master enough tech knowledge to operate the machinery and electronics he or she needs or has elected to use, things that will prove quite obsolete in a matter of years and for some, such as myself, we must use equipment that has already gone obsolete because of highly limited budgets.

Is it deleterious? Or is the mind so vast that knowledge that is now useless can be tucked away in it's littler twists or turns in the vastness of the mind's area? I suggest that it may cause extensive harm.

What is happening now is that extensive streams of knowledge are flooding our world these days only to be completely obsolete in a matter of years to months. We must determine if the mind can somehow recycle and erase the extensive memory demanded for a state-of-the-art capability in an individual or does it have any effect at all?

It may be that redundant knowledge is, by and large, removed from the mind by internal extrication, leaving a leaner but perhaps no longer stronger mind in it's wake. But outside no one else knows it. To those in the crowd the technocrats seem the same persons. It's "...oh, there goes professor so-and-so..." or "hey isn't that the technician they've been using for the new section?". But others who know them, that's a different story, in that case it's "Jack, you just haven't been yourself lately..." If they only knew. If we only knew!

It may be just another hazard we must put on the label. "Caution, this product uses human memory to operate that may be useless shortly hereafter." Compare that to the warning I read on the back of someone's cigarette pack in the sixties: "Warning: The surgeon general has indicated that cigarettes can produce carbon monoxide in small quantities that may be harmful to your health."

I mean this could go along with those end-of-the-world (at least on your block) stories. About hordes of people marching across half the planet or something. And people pooh-pooh it and say, "Who in their right mind would do such a thing?" That's just it!
