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."

Indeed. But the neuroplasticity can be directed both digitally into the oblivion described, or, if we can muster it, we can choose to intentionally rewire ourselves in accordance with natural, analog life systems so we aren't swept away. I recently envisioned a response to this and joined Nostr because of it. I promise to share soon.
