I wish I had complete control over my brain

[Magical Apple]

This would be such a useful power. I wish mental cybernetics and mind uploading was a thing so I could reconfigure my brain as easily as changing the settings in a computer. I would delete memories, create multiple personalities for specific tasks and master every emotion and thought. I want to be liberated from disgusting and disturbing states of mind arising from being a meatbag filled with filth.

Also anyone who thinks a technological singularity is coming in a century is completely delusional. As a computer science/physics major I can assure you we are still centuries away from even getting close to this. Maybe in a couple decades we will be able to solder wires into the spinal cord to beam basic senses into the brain but that will be it.

tbh it would be boring af to have so much control over life... just wish i had a genius like aladin and a limited amount of wishes per year, like 4

I can’t control anything. I’m in a battle for control over anything. Even a piece of pizza I try to manipulate it and destroy it

As long as you are part of the universe you have no control. It’s an illusion.
They say 95 % of your thinking is “unconscious” but really 100% is. Just the “5%” appears in the prison we call consciousness. We are slaves of nature. As sure as the earth revolves around the sun your suffering shall continue.

Futile attempts of coping is just our natural instinct.

My theory is that their are levels of consciousness or "singularities". Any being that passes a singularity will gain abilities and levels of awareness that are incomprehensible to beings that have not passed it. Basic human sapience is one of these singularities. On earth, we are the only species that has passed this singularity which is why we can perceive the world in ways other animals cannot begin to comprehend (e.g. abstract math). The beings that pass the next singularity will likely gain insights and access to technologies that makes us appear like chimps.

Our perception of "free will" while not physically real is a mental construct that helps interact with the world in a way that makes sense at our level of cognition. Think of it like a user interface on a computer.

Interesting perspective. Can’t really disagree. I would try to expand and elucidate some of your thinking but that would take ages. Maybe some other time.

But I like your thinking.
