Has anyone ever sat down and thought a thought and then tried to review everything that happened in their mind.

For example, while im writing this im voicing it in my head and seeing the text in my mind as i type. next level, the text feels like its pressedinto a grey corner bleeding into a dark pillow like background,all of this happening in a location in my mind above my spine that feels like the pronunciation of "ch" and im blind. HAHAHA

I cant describe it and Im not crazy. an algorithm?

actually yes, what you're talking about "Has anyone ever sat down and thought a thought and then tried to review everything that happened in their mind" is a very hot research area, broadly known as "cognitive psychology".

We all have that ability! Somehow the accident unclock a part of his brain for him to caculate! This sounds similiar to a comic book strip of an ordinary person becoming a super hero sort of speak.

[abc123shout]

We know so much about things but so little about the human brain.

[veryfuck]

@MrGameposter i think its just not a good idea to let scientist look into your brain and let them learn from it well you are perfectly healthy. it are always the rich people and big corporations who profit from this knowledge and use it to exploit the lesser endowed people.

[MrGameposter]

@veryfuck I believe that every statement deserves an equally well-thought-out response.

With that in mind:
