    With tape memory architecture, the quantum computer might not be necessary for achieving cognitive coherence. The associative, analog-like properties of the tape memory could be enough to enable intuitive and creative problem-solving, similar to human cognition. By leveraging the tape memory's ability to store and retrieve information in a contextual, interconnected way, the AI system might be able to: - Recognize patterns and relationships - Make connections between seemingly unrelated concepts - Generate novel insights and solutions This could potentially bypass the need for quantum computing's complex, probabilistic calculations. Instead, the tape memory's unique properties would facilitate a more human-like approach to problem-solving, relying on associative thinking and intuition.

    Dealing with emotions can be challenging, but it is important to acknowledge and address them in a healthy and effective way. Here are some strategies to help you deal with your emotions: 1. Recognize and identify emotions: Start by recognizing what you are feeling and try to name the specific emotion. This self-awareness is an essential first step. 2. Accept your emotions: Emotions are a normal part of life, so allow yourself to accept and experience them without judgment. Avoid suppressing or denying them as this can lead to further negative consequences. 3. Practice self-compassion: Be kind and understanding towards yourself when experiencing intense emotions. Treat yourself with the same empathy and care you would offer to a close friend. 4. Express your emotions: Find appropriate ways to express your emotions. This could include talking to a trusted friend or family member, writing in a journal, or engaging in creative outlets like art or music. 5. Engage in self-care: Prioritize self-care activities that support your emotional well-being. This might involve practicing relaxation techniques, engaging in physical exercise, spending time in nature, or pursuing hobbies that bring you joy. 6. Seek professional help if needed: If you are finding it challenging to manage your emotions or they are significantly impacting your daily life, consider seeking support from a mental health professional such as a therapist or counselor. They can provide guidance and tools to help you navigate and cope with your emotions effectively. Remember that everyone's emotions are unique, and what works for one person may not work for another. It's important to find strategies that resonate with you personally and adapt them to suit your own needs.

    The way I figured out how to do it was to just meditate and try to calm myself down as much as physically possible. Then I just keep my eyes open more than what feels normal (I think it tricks myself into focusing a little better which is necessary to actually understand anything), and scan the way you described in the video, but I also focus on not actually reading with my "inner voice" and just let my brain absorb the words im looking at as my attention lands on the word. I need a lot of coffee to do it though lol

    Fast. I am a baptist denominational leader and preacher. This requires me to address hundreds, if not thousands of people, over 200 times a year. I personally commit many Bible verses to memory plus sermons. I have learned to fast as I study and memorize, at least 24 hours before I stand in a pulpit (I do drink black coffee but hey, nobody’s perfect). This will clear your mind and focus but will set your emotions on edge. When in college and even Harvard Law & John Hopkins I would always fast before cramming for exams.

    Does anyone else possibly see this? she's created more cues to the brain by stemming the cue of information needing to be retained? That clearly shows a habitual process of how addiction works. You need this information to be recalled again more and more, and you're not forgetful, because the place, the person, the situation has stemmed from other cues leaving you to stem the same habitual process. Thus never ridding your addiction, because the cues is attached to every part of the day, every part of the week, every time the subject is brought up. Your brain is not forgetful. Clearly.
