I could imagine that I would put one of these EEGs on and I would just find some feeling I like, bliss or peace, or maybe it's a feeling induced by drugs and alcohol. And I would be able to see what my brain patterns look like in those states. Then I could sit around and try to work towards reproducing those same patterns.

Now, it might not actually lead to anything good, but in your professional opinion, total waste of time you trying to do that?

You know, I'm a big believer in data, though, and it seems like somebody should be building... AI systems that are able to look at those squiggles and give me feedback. The thing that I'd so hard about the brain is that we don't get direct feedback about what's going on, which is how the brain is so good at what it does.

If the brain didn't get feedback from the world about what it was doing, it wouldn't be any good at predicting things. So I'm trying to find a way that I can get feedback. But it sounds like you're saying I got to live for 20 more years if I want to hope to do that.

So in my lived experience, I walk around and there's almost nonstop chatter in my head. It's like there's a narrator who's commenting on what I'm observing in the world. My particular voice does a lot of rehearsing of what I'm going to say out loud in the future and a lot of rehashing of past social interactions.

Other people have voices in their head that are constantly criticizing and belittling them. But either way, there's both a voice that's talking and there's also some other entity in my head that's listening to that voice and reacting. Does neuroscience have an explanation for this sort of thing?

Language is such an effective form of communicating and of summarizing information that at least my impression inside my head is that a lot of this is being mediated through language. But I also have this impression that there are parts of my brain that are not very good with language. Maybe I'm crazy, but I have this working theory that the language parts of my brain have really co-opted power.
