Under Anesthesia, Where Do Our Minds Go?
The article itself is good but that title, wow. Our minds don't "go" anywhere any more than the illumination goes somewhere when you snuff a candle. Just as the flame isn't high enough to produce significant light your brain activity isn't high enough to produce coherent thought.
- galangalalgol 4y agoI find "twilight" drugs way more disturbing. Its clear that people on them are clearly themselves, though less inhibited. But none of what occurs becomes part of their experience. At least consciously.
- causi 4y agoI don't understand why that's disturbing. It's the consequence of interfering with your brain's ability to form memories. That could be disturbing, but only if you ignore the fact your brain is always in a state of constant memory pruning anyway. Being blackout drunk or drugged is only changing your percent of discarded memory from something like 95% to 100%.
