Accelerate vs. Slow down


Interesting story from Peter Popper, Hungarian psychologist and writer: they were trying to model if you can create mental illnesses in computers/artificial intelligence. And they could. You know how? They were increasing the amount of information and speeded up the information input that much, that they could not process it any more, and went crazy.
Hello hello 21th people, us. Some not so nice force spinning our daily life to the extent that the speed and information input exceeds our capacity to be aware even of ourselves. 
The cure? To slow down, to be more selective, to ignore unneccesary information, to be present. Not to have this feeling that we always miss something, if we do not overdo.
