- saulrh 2y agoYou're exercising your cognition. It's no surprise that the acute effects include exhaustion. The long term effects are you have stronger cognition.
- waihtis 2y agono, its something different. I found the Kahneman concept of the two systems to be really helpful in explaining - it feels like gaming pushes all cognition into the twitchy system 1 brain, and puts system 2 to sleep. Whereas reading arduous technical text wears system 2 down. Two completely different types of incapacitations.
