Brain fog and Anhedonia

Follow-up on Forced Learning

Learning has two main components: the restorative Cognitive Engagement and the detrimental Cognitive Overload.

In today’s session, I will elaborate on the drawbacks of Cognitive Overload.

The Memory Threshold

The Brain has a limit to the amount of information it can process.
It varies between individuals and it s not related to IQ, though Cerebral Metabolism, the ability to store memories.
It is highly dependent upon Sleep, the reason some people function with less than  6 hours per night, while neurodivergents typically require 9 hours.
Ironically, the neurodivergent often sleep less than the neurotypical, contributing to Cognitive Overload.

Cognitive Overload is destructive to ND s

Everyone can experience Cognitive Overload.
While symptoms are basically the same, the real challenge is Recovery.

No matter how long, Recovery is always possible for NT s, whereas the condition almost becomes chronic for ND s.

 Symptomatology of Apathy 

Although there are several symptoms associated to Cognitive Overload, Apathy best describes them all together.

The medical definition of Apathy is the full loss of Interest towards all aspects of life without Shame, like total lack of Self-care in public.
It goes beyond Anhedonic MDD-the highest level of depression characterized by the inability to experience pleasure-and Expressive Aphasia, the inability to express thoughts.

Bottom line: Full-blown Dissociation.
There is no cure other than serodopaminergic maintenance.

That being said, does Competition pay off?
No way.
I value Sanity over Authority.

Cognitive Engagement vs Forced Learning in AuDHD

Nowadays, Writing is no-longer spontaneous.

Cognitive Engagement is the scientific term for Consistent Learning.
Students will support the more inquisitive “Studying”.
Nothing wrong as far as we don’t compromise the core concept.

A language has Jargons for every profession and generation.
It won’t be long before AI will integrate all languages globally.

No more need for translators on the lookout to a new job.
“Keyword Analysts” would replace “Translators” just fine.

The successful writer of 2026 onwards is a smart blender of keywords into a fiction book.
The same applies to bloggers, reporters, journalists…

However, I don’t give in with my niche friends and partnerships, my revenue streams from Advocacy and practical Help for the Weak, starting from my institutionalized autistic brother and his Community.

I agree with Lord Google on cracking down upon artificial blogs plainly copying data from scientific journals or AI.

I don’t Copy anything. I Research and apply latest findings to my personal experiences.
Most importantly, I use MY SYNTAX for editing my articles.
I shun Academic Writing whenever possible, despite my personal knowledge.
After all, I never claimed to be an MD. 
Neither is this a Medical Platform.

I value my privacy more than Authoritativeness, today’s top arrogant keyword.
Nobody is an Authority online. My physical psychiatrist is, in real life, not on his Clinic’s website.

The Net has become a dog-eat-dog world.
I use the Net. It doesn’t use me and my niche friends.
TRUST is my favorite keyword.

Competition and Burnout.

The message is very explicit: Never Stop Learning.

There is no age for the brain to stop learning. We decide when to retire cognitively, usually in combination with Job Retirement around 65, the perfect recipe for Alzheimer’s in healthy adults.

Although still understudy, it would appear that Learning regularly at one’s own pace, reverses the formation of brain plaques while activating Reward Systems.
I couldn’t agree more, despite in midlife.

 Personal Development.

I coined the expression “Forced Learning” to describe  “Cognitive Overload”.

Cognitive Overload refers to absorbing an excessive amount of information in a given time for competitive play.
This is a common practice in blogging.
They claim that building Authority is key to ranking. False. View numbers are their real value. Mega sites with million followers always outrank beginner bloggers no matter how authoritative.

This is Forced Learning and Writing.
Burnout is the outcome.

I reiterate: the Net will never have my back.
