I actually think this is a danger with leaning more heavily on AI tools. What happens as you offload more of your thinking outside of your brain?

You open up other spaces. Society mostly distracts you with busy work. It’s really psychotic to have someone do anything for 8 hours a day.

Think of it like this. You have other rooms in your house that you don’t know what to do with. You might know how to decorate your first room, maybe even your second, but by the time you are lucky enough to have the fifth room, you won’t really know what to fill it with.

Luxury. It takes some imagination to fill it.

Ever hear of the curse of Thoth in relation to Plato on the merit of writing?

    I mean yeah, it gets brought up every time this topic is discussed. I’m not going to try to argue Plato was totally right, but I do think there is some merit to the argument.

    At least in my experience, the more stuff I can keep my working memory, the better I can solve problems. Contrast to popular opinion, I actually think memorization is a great learning strategy.
