Notes

  1. you can counteract cognitive atrophy from AI use through concentration practice.

    this is because the mind tends to overfit the shape of its sensory and cognitive streams.

    AI carves low-effort valleys and the untrained mind slumps into them.

    a mind that is trained through concentration is more self-conformal. that is, it engages with experience while preserving its own shape.

    Effort level over sensory and cognitive streams: an experience-conformal mind follows their valleys; a self-conformal mind stays level.
