got my first root canal done, a necessary evil

went there with my social worker, funny blone. in the waiting room he cracked jokes to "lighten the mood" i forgive him

"social worker starts joking and making drill noises"

"dude not now"

(he continues)

"dude imagine shes gonna whip out that huge bosch drill where sparks fly out after turning it on"

"why mate"

fast forward in the dentist chair

"how much does it hurt"

"cant sleep from the pain"

"i think were gonna have to do a root canal because the root is so infected already that you cant sleep anymore"

the thought of "i hoped for something else" crosses my mind

"do we have to do it today?"

"we dont have to do a thing" she says

social worker interjects "yeah but next time if you dont do it today i might not be here and someone else"

the dentist says "if you do it another day just know the pain only gets worse and not better"

"alright, gotta make the choice, lets do it today"

i only remember the rest faintly

social worker at some point says

"come on youre the martial artist here, you can do it"

"oh a martial artist" the dentist says

any how the root or whatever gets drilled open

"just raise your hand if you feel a sharp pain"

"starts raising hand

"were gonna give you the second injection"

(me in a delirious trance):

"Nah just continue"

"no youre gonna get the injection"

im like "ok"

(aaaaah finally nothing hurts anymore)

before or after she pours bleach or some chlorine tasting (probably sodium hypochlorite) in my teeth?

oh man i will never forget the burn and the taste

burns for a fraction of a second

tastes like godzilla emptied his bowels into a chernobyl swimming pool.

"oh man i didnt expect that from a disinfectant"

before or after she pulls up the "excavator" to remove the nerve or something

cant quite recall the order of events

appointment done, go to the park, meet with friends, all of the tough guys flinch as i tell them "dentist... root canal, i need a beer"

Debugging the human brain by saturating its buffer sensory deprivation and signal isolation

The thing about the human brain is it has a catch, it has a limited input and output Buffet aswell as a memory Buffer. Well some will argue it is unlimited so lets call it definite for the Sake of the argument.

Lets say you create a Video game that Falls exactly this Buffer, recurrently and in a feedforward sense at the same time.

This idea was born yesterday in my mind so i havent Figured out exactly every method in it 100%

Say you have a Sensory deprivation Chamber with nothing but an interactive computer to play in it, no Internet only a game where you make choice and deal with the consequences and rewards or punishment. The purpose of this Sensory deprivation Chamber is that the brain is actually a computer itself so instead of polluting its input output with external stimuli you get darkness or 0 from the rest of the World. Its like Filtering out the noise while debugging only the flow of the signal through the circuit that matters

Once you have hit the buffer limit, and in this theoretical game you have created where each choice leads to a consequence whether it is desired or undesired you reward the brain accordingly, the brain will actually reveal its learning/gradient/derivative matrix data to you and the consequence of that is that you can see exactly which neurons are faulty, by simply looking at the brains hessians and jacobian Matrices Extracted from the computer games continual data feed you can see which neuron is dead or doesnt learn anymore or is blind to the gradient, whether its going into the right or wrong direction over time or is simply frozen as if the gradient doesnt propagate

Your thoughts?
