Whangārei man battles locked-in syndrome, fighting to move and be heard

Here are some of my notes around the impact of #AI on human #cognitive load, where it shines, and where it lacks substantial impact:

Rhetorical question, I assume.
Not a bad analogy.

I quite agree our "nation as a whole" is in a bad way, ask most people in either 'political tribe' and they'll agree. (But for too many, It's THEIR fault.)

Beyond domestic violence, my study of #psychology has me reflecting on social factors, and #cognitive, like #belief, and the power in shaping belief, of #media

You're right!
We (collectively) need an 'order of protection' from criminals and enablers of #TrumpVirus #evil

Meanwhile.... Speaking of #TrumpVirus #dementia - #psychopathology - #malevolent #narcissism and #cognitive "slippage"...

I've re-read this, and think there are some compelling points here, diagnostically.

However we want to frame it, this is clearly one deranged, malevolent, incompetent, & angry/entitled individual, whose gross defects are so clear that to ignore them is a badge of #denial or deep #cult indoctrination, or both.

All hail the Emperor's new clothes!

Just before #sleep, the brain enters #hypnagogia — a state linked to creativity and insight.

Figures like Gauss, Descartes, Edison, and Dalí described insights arising in these liminal moments. #Research suggests #psilocybin engages related #cognitive #dynamics.

#Insight isn’t foreign. It’s #human.

#Trump has said that he loves the poorly educated.
Trying to remove barriers preventing #AI from causing further harm to #human #intellectual and #cognitive capacity thus is perfectly coherent.

Trump says it is "seditious" and "treasonous" to question his mental health. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Hey Siri, how many hundreds of times did Donald Trump question Joe Biden's mental health and cognitive capabilities while he was in office? #cognitive #capabilities #DementiaDon

G-d Knows....

Sorry if this offends - a bit "sacrilegious" perhaps, this now-'influencer'-level schtick, first on Twitter/X, now all over...

But the 'main idea' is... "interesting".
A reasonable (optimistic/parsimonious) explanation of both the dramatic #cognitive decline (from an already-low baseline) & the correlation between the hoof & hand symptoms we see, and the ongoing 'cover-up' of blatant mental & physical issues. With #TrumpVIrus, most #truth is hidden.

#france is currently the most obvious case study of #Russia 's destabilization strategy, but the same dynamics are playing out across #europe. Targeted symbolic acts exploit pre-existing social fault lines to fuel #mistrust , #polarization , and perceived #insecurity. It's a #cognitive #warfare that undermines public trust, social cohesion, and political capacity across the Union.
