How do you deal with the soul-crushing fact that a human brain

It bugs me all the time. Even worse is realizing that at every moment, I am losing information. The only way to retain information is by constantly rehearsing it. Otherwise you just forget. If only I was one of those superautists who can remember every detail of their lives. I would never have to read the same thing twice. I could learn subjects at lightning speed and become a master of everything. But no, it's more important for my brain to remember stupid everyday shit.

Then there's the fact that we're all going to die and all of our accomplishments will be for nothing.

It makes you wonder if there is a limit to how far we can go. The more we learn about the universe, more is added to the knowledge pool, and the longer it will take for a student to reach that level. I really don't think anyone can understand cutting edge physics/maths until they're like 30, with constant study in the subject. It's just becoming so abstract and complicated. The human brain is designed to be curious, but it's also designed to not give a fuck.

I would rather know some and have hunger for more than know none.

This. I think the the only way to advance our species beyond biological limits it to focus all of our efforts jnto computing and AI. We could potentially make brains better than our own someday.

Do you know who painted that painting in your image op?
