Yes and no. Lifestyle has an impact on intelligence. You probably can't train yourself into a higher IQ, but you can many things that will dimish it (not sleeping well, bad nutrition, drugs, stress, etc.)
So if you've led a non ideal lifestyle in the past, you might be able to increase your intelligence by making less mistakes, relative to your current abilities.
But isn't that the core issue with "these" people: they have lost the ability to be able to interpret their body's sensations and warning signals and burn out as a result?
I'm not excempt from this. But the urge to substitute bodily awareness with sensory gadgets seems to gather religious proportions in some circles.
People can be surprisingly good at blocking out signals, especially when they have learned to regard a signal as broken and unhelpful.
Aron Ralston, the guy that 127 Hours is based on, in his memoir singles out a specific moment in his childhood when he decided to disregard his sense of fear, because it was paralyzing him and stopping him from doing normal things with his friends like skiing. Operating without regard for fear was obviously not a great fix. As an adult he lost friends who refused to go into the backcountry with him because he took irresponsible risks that put them in danger. Then he lost his arm.
People who struggle with depression have the same adversarial relationship with fatigue. When you spend much of your life struggling to force yourself to go when your brain says stop, you start to take a cynical attitude toward your sense of fatigue. It's a chronic liar, a stopped clock, the boy who cried wolf. On the other hand, once in a while it's telling the truth.
Anxiety can present as fatigue as well. When your brain is afraid of something, inducing a sense of fatigue is an easy way to avoid it.
When you can't trust your sense of fatigue, there's no simple rule for handling it. It's dangerous to ignore it, but on the other hand, you can't just trust it, because then you'd spend most of your life in bed. Maybe today the right answer is to "find joy in it" (barf) but tomorrow the right answer is to suck it up and work through it. There's no inspirational slogan that solves it. You just do your best to figure it out every day.
Considering that slowing down FPS doesn't alter the images, and audio can be resampled with practically no audible artefacts, I doubt that quality would ever be an issue. As long as it's done with the proper care of course.
I would think the main consideration is workflow these days.
So much so it creeps into real life for me from time to time.
About 10 years ago working in the Comerica building in downtown Dallas (you can see it in the skyline photos) I parked in a garage connected by hallways and tunnels to stay out of the heat or rain. There were two sets of escalators in this route. One set broke. Management put up a sign on a stand stating “Escalator out of service” and within about a week somebody opened Word or PowerPoint set it to landscape, printed out “Escalator temporarily stairs, sorry for the convenience” on a piece of paper and taped it over their sign.
I’m sure I snapped a picture of it for the week or so it was left up.
In my view fine motor control is actually very important, as it seems to have a big effect on neuroplasticity and the prevention of Parkinson's.
I also want my kids to learn how to appreciate things that have no tangible purpose other than be beautiful.
I think it's a shame though that you were forced to use cursive when you hated it. Although where I grew up writing cursive used to be the norm. But it's not anymore apparently, as my son is learning non-cursive first.
And no, I never learned print at school, only cursive. I started writing in print as a teenager because I thought it looked cooler, but it took me some time to get used to it.
Probably right, but that's why we just need to be equiped with an M.2 port so we can upgrade our memory. Or maybe a bit of "better living through chemistry" will come up with a better swapping routine for memory
