One of the fastest way to learn is to learn from someone else's mistakes and experiences. This short-cuts a lot of unnecessary trial and error and can save significant time. However, one is sorely tempted to repeat the experiences/mistakes of others. One may think, that they are smarter/luckier than the others who made those mistakes. One may not trust that the right lessons were learnt by others in their experiences. One may think there is loss of agency in just following along a path someone else prescribed. What are some guidelines do you use to learn from others experiences? How do you judge their lessons are worth following? How do you stop yourself from attempting to make those mistakes yourself.
I agree with you, I too am skeptical about Neuralink being useful anytime soon.
The augmentation in my vision, at the beginning at least, is external. I don't attempt to modify the brain. I externally "record" a persons life. A simple manifestation of such a augment would be a wearable device: Google Glass.
It follows you around and forms "memories". This external augmentation, then is able to store, index and retrieve relevant memory at scale, with speed, and aid brains normal abilities.
Hopefully its easy to see that such an external augmentation is better than pen-and-paper based memory system.
We experience and learn so many things over years. However, our memories may fail us. They fail in recalling a relevant fact that could have been very useful for accomplishing an immediate task at hand. e.g. My car tire has punctured on a busy street, but I cannot recall how to change it -- though I remember reading about it in the manual.
It is likely that the memory is still alive somewhere in the deep corner of my brain. In this case, I maybe able to think hard and push myself to remember it. Such a process is bound to be slow and people on the street would yell at me... (read more)
Please see my post below. My current big idea is very similar to yours. I believe we may be able to exchange notes!
I unfortunately did not. I am also unable to locate the message I sent you! Maybe its because I am new to this site.
