You have at least 20 more years until mental decay might become noticeable.
Only people in your age that might experience this is when you have fried your brain with drugs and alcohol for ans decade. You can age very gracefully as long as you don't put any shit into your body and do enough physical activity.
You might be more stupid now than you could be if you didn't drink but the brain can take a lot. It takes more than a decade of heavy drinking to get really stupid.
Also stupid people usually don't realize how stupid they are so you wouldn't even suffer that hard from it.
you are retarded and depressed because you poison yourself chronically with a poison that literally destroys your brain, health and it causes depression-feelings
little suffering or a lot of suffering, it is horrifying to know that your brain is rotting away every moment and it cannot be stopped, at most slowed down
it takes years for your brain to recover. you can maximize recovery by eating healthy, doing heavy exercise and sleeping well. feelings of accomplishment will give feeling of fullfillness and ease on depressive thoughts. good luck out there
I posted for the double meaning. Mental gymnastics is proving something via impossible logical twists. But that actually a brain exercise (as all you suggested) which keeps the mind fresh.
Not forever tho. That was an exaggeration that fit the playful intention of the comment.
ah i see, i took the term literally and then looked up what does it even mean, and then "fuck it means that? oh god im stupid" y'know? i got your playfulness in the first post though, it's palpable
it is written "There is no God" (Psalms 14:1) and "The living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing. There is no longer a reward for them because the memory of them is forgotten" (Ecclesiastes 9:5)
