Extreme Science pt.1
summary
Memory is not a static hard drive but a malleable system that changes each time a memory is retrieved, enabling deliberate memory reconsolidation through repeated retelling; sleep is a high-susceptibility window where playing sounds or spraying odors during REM shifts dream valence (roses → more positive, rotten eggs → negative) — proof of concept works in experiments; preventative health moves from external trackers to an implantable proteomic monitor that reads proteins from tiny blood samples and prescribes actions before disease; a documented case shows tumor removal reverses deviant sexual behavior — a real example of tumor-caused behavior reversal.
