Memory. Insufficient. Resulting in loss of sequentiality and meaningful sentence structure. And effective paragraphs. Loss of meaningful sentence construction means loss of meangingful communication. The bridge between the internal and external collapses, and the self detaches from the world. Could be thought as the verbal RAM of the human mind. Increased tangentiality reduces relevance, and the volume of relevant thoughts.

Dopamine. Insufficient. Resulting in loss of motivation to construct a meaningful letter or resulting in loss of ability to be motivated enough to stay on task, such as creating a post, and fully writing out. Or persisting in trying to meaningfully communicate. Also, resulting in a loss of emotional intensity that characterizes the amplitude of peaks and troughs of emotion. As this neurochemical underlies emotion and motivation, the lack of emotional color reduces relatability to other humans -- that is, the 'relevance'/'significance' to others is reduced. Offline and online. Music is meaningless. What seems to entertain many over 100s of times entertains once. Twice. Or thrice. But not a century.

Dopamine. Insufficient. Resulting in a loss of motivation to follow various societal norms. Such as linguistic norms. Or conversational norms. Or "following the conversational thread in a given thread" norms. Or behavioral norms. Or facial expressional norms. Or greeting norms. Or clothing norms. Or "giving a care" norms.

Intersynaptic connnectivity. In the frontal lobe. Insufficient. Related to insufficient verbal RAM, and resulting in loss of ability to coalesce and maintain meaningful thought and conversion from thoughts to words.

Prognosis? Schizophrenia. Anyone cares? The schizophrenic doesn't. Too little dopamine. If that person doesn't, why should anyone else?

Just like life itself, it's terminal.

Have you tried overclocking? If you increase your bus speeds and possibly upgrade your bandwidth that might help.

I've thought of over-clocking using speed, but I heard that leads to a longterm dependency which then results in an eventual system crash. Upgrading bandwidth and bus speeds sounds appealing, but I haven't figured out to hook up external cognition systems to my brain, yet.

And, to everyone curious, I was trying to imagine how a schizophrenic would think. Of course, if I did that exceedingly well because I'm on the verge of becoming one is another question...lol

Really good description of the blunt effect. I remember reading that the supercharged sensitivities of schizophrenia or the opposite of blunt effect are associated with too much dopamine. And, that may damage the brain causing the blunt effect. Do you see the hollow mask illusion; are you familiar with that? Many people with Autism and Schizophrenia don't see the illusion, so it wouldn't necessasrily mean that you will develop schizophrenia if you can't see it.

To me it sounds like a concentration problem and anhedonia... I don't necessarily see anything that directly points to schizophrenia. Unless maybe I've been shizophrenic in the past, too?
