How to Deal With an Aging Brain?
An anonymous reader writes "I'm sure this is something all older Slashdotters are aware of: as I get older my once-sharp brain is, well, getting worse. In particular, I'm not able to remember things as well as I once did. As a geek my capacity in this area was always what defined me as a geek. Nowadays things seem to go in OK, but then leak out. A few weeks later I've mostly forgotten. So, I ask Slashdot: how do you cope with your mind getting older? What's your trick? Fish-oil? Brain Training on the DS? Exercise? Or just trying harder to remember things?"
... but now I just can't remember what it was.
Incorrect. Atoms do not have an age, they are 100% interchangeable, identical and act the same all the time. I dare you to devise a test to tell the age of a single atom. The concept is meaningless. What your body is doing, is it's running a program. The matter you are made of today was perhaps inside an Alzheimer's victim last week. Perhaps today's restroom break will end up in a genius' brain next week.
Yeah, man. Marijuana will save the world! You can live off the seeds, make everything you'd ever need out of the fibre. I'm building a hemp fibre spaceship, powered by hemp seed oil, and i'm going to go and live on the moon and grow cannabis forever.
