I woke up unable to speak English
This article is entirely plausible to me. I have dealt with two relatives with brain tumors. Between disease and treatment, I have seen some incredibly weird stuff. It makes me realize how little we understand how minds work.<p>The best analogy I have is to think of your smartphone from the perspective of a normal user. You&#x27;re used to it working fine. But suddenly it stops working fine. So a technical friend hooks up a cable and turns on debug logging and all you see is a wall of gobbledygook. [1] You ask what&#x27;s going on and he starts describing an enormously complicated array of components and systems, and explains that he doesn&#x27;t really know how most of them work, and that there are a bunch he probably hasn&#x27;t even found yet. He can try this and that and the problem maybe gets better and maybe gets worse. You&#x27;re forced to realize that the phone you trusted and thought you understood is beyond your ready comprehension.<p>Even that analogy fails in that a) minds are much more complicated, b) they aren&#x27;t designed, so there&#x27;s no expectation that they should make sense under the hood, and c) you cannot buy a new brain. If it&#x27;s broken, well, maybe it&#x27;ll get better and maybe you&#x27;ll just have to get used to it being kind of broken and be grateful it works at all.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;logmatic.io&#x2F;blog&#x2F;a-how-to-guide-to-debugging-with-android-logcat&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;logmatic.io&#x2F;blog&#x2F;a-how-to-guide-to-debugging-with-an...</a>
