I've heard many times of people who are terrified of getting dementia.
I've always thought it would be a relief, a freeing experience, an excuse for my fucked up behaviors, just tripping until I'm gone. Of course I know that's wrong, but at least I'm not afraid of it.
But you won't realise you are tripping so you kinda miss out on the fun =) i was reading on this the other day that one way to avoid it, or even if you have it to reduce the impact, is to constantly be active in order to trigger and strengthen new neuron pathways - neuroplasticity can work at any point of your life which is why you are never to old to learn new things
