This hit me...

"And in my unprofessional opinion neuroplasticity has made us increasingly digitally proficient but at a cost of being digitally dependent, and if being hired on as a London cab driver can change your brain on an MRI scan and if life experiences like PSD can alter the DNA and sperm what irreversible alterations will 30,000 hours of staring into algorithmically fed into a state of hypnosis due to the human mind or to their offspring.

In this short breath of time, we live in a state of existence that quite possibly no one else in world history has. We have both access to instant global connectivity, infinite information, and consumer-level access to artificial intelligence, but we are the last few humans in world history who remember what life was like before it. We are the last living people in history to have experienced life before the digital age."

That London Cab driver study is referenced in the book Peak I reviewed. There’s a number of areas in the brain which change with significant practice and with how much time we spend online we’ll likely see some major changes in the next generations brains too.

Pretty wild. It's not just our metal state, but physical too. The number of hunchbacks in the digital world... amazing.
