Add a BIP-39 pass phrase, and leave some Bitcoin on the plain seed, while keeping the rest on the BIP-39 secured one.

Sure beats being old 😄

Don't want to miss the experience though

I probably mixed up the biological names. It's a very ancient part of the brain, might be hippocampus, amagdyla or whatevs. I never can memorize those 😶

There's a direct neural link from the nasal cavity right into the brain stem. Neurons that pick up smell, and trigger your reptile brain. Smell is our oldest sense, and the most intimate one. BTW COVID attacked those neurons in a subset of people. That's what led to loss of smell/taste, as those very neural cells were converted to virus 🦠 particles. The five basic tastes (sour/bitter/salty/sweet/umami) are taken up in the mouth, but aroma is all in the nose.

Das ist eher gewöhnliches Tourette. Grotesk-Tourette ist es, wenn dir irgendwelche absurd blödsinnigen Dinge, zB Wortspiele, Trollereien oder sonstige Spässe einfallen, auf die kein normaler Mensch je kommen, geschweige denn sie verstehen würde, die du aber trotzdem rausposaunen musst, einfach weil sonst irgendwas in dir zu Platzen droht.

Hab gestern mit einem anderen Hyperkreativen zusammen gesessen und seinen Ausdruck gelernt für das unbändige Verlangen, seinen gedanklichen Output loszuwerden, egal wie absurd er ist: er nennt das "Grotesk-Tourette"

Wer kennt das auch?

Exactly. Physical experience leads to high frequency adaptation, rational (thinking) or social (exchanging ideas) to very low frequency adaptation. We are pretty unique in that we have that latter part, and it shaved. Complex language is an amazing tool.

a few million years off our evolution.

In principle, yes. If you can exfiltrate any sequence of bits (eg a seed phrase), you can exfiltrate whatever you want (eg a BIP39 passphrase). But it may be impractical, and I don't know if there are actual exploits.

It stores them temporarily, and could exfiltrate them to the mempool or blockchain when used.

Yes, I still do. It doesn't alter my physical experience, that one is too immediate. It did give me a new understanding about the importance of society, as one of the feedback mechanisms needed to adjust a brain to its environment. Without other people, you(r brain) is simply a reaction machine that's fed input from outside and inside sensors. It encorporates learned patterns over short timeframes (the higher the pain, the quicker the learning), and thus adapts itself to function properly in a given world. With exposure to others, that learning expands to incorporate feedback from other individuals in other circumstances. But the learning is relatively low and shallow, because of the lower pain levels. So long term, culture teaches our brain the collective knowledge of everyone, which is quite significant, because it takes place - for the most part - without individuals dying all the time, like they do in evolutionary processes.

Good morning 😃
