Well, that's the problem with cognitive faults, we usually aren't aware of them.
- jMyles 12y agoI'm sorry - did you just change the predicate of your comment from "Except, apparently, your prose skill" to "Well, that's the problem with cognitive faults, we usually aren't aware of them" after we had responded to it? Are you serious?
- drzaiusapelord 12y agoNo, that was someone else's comment. Mine stands as originally posted - its tough, if not impossible, to make your own self-assessment on cognitive issues. That's why double-blind studies are the norm in biology and medicine. I have stoner friends who make the same argument and, frankly, they're completely unaware at how slow they are from a cognitive perspective and seem overly forgetful. I can't just pin this on aging as we're all the same age. It just seems that those who took drugs seriously, even just pot, in their 20s, are paying a price for it much later in life. That's something people should be warned about. No amount of diet changes, meditation, or fish oil is going to get help here. They have permanently altered their brain.
- jMyles 12y agoAhh, my apologies for accusing you. I don't mean to sound cocky, but I can't think of a better way to say: I don't think my capacity to contribute effectively, drawing from cognitive capacity among other sources, is in question.
