Remembering a lot of painful memories sucked. There's a reason why the unconscious is there to help us cope with life's greatest challenges. Being knowledgeable has its perks and curses.
Experiments may be magical, but not an assurance of permanence. It's like being sharp, but we need to maintain it in our own way.
Algernon! You're a great metaphor!
I will never forget this story.
Thank you, Daniel✨

some of the psychology and sociology feels dated in many ways but ultimately it does the job it sets out to do.

There are heavy subjects, yet narrated with such an ease that's so grippling, relatable and heartfelt. It makes me think alot about humanity, morallity, consciousness, what makes us human, what makes us happy, who are we and what are we looking for?
It's a complex read (thought-provoking and emotional) without being pretentious or over-complicated. The focus is on where it should be.
A rant:
A vr interesting take on the biblical story of Adam and Eve, here, Charlie ate the forbidden fruit and suffered the consequences. In many ways, ignorance is indeed bliss, but that is not to say (his) learning worth nothing at all. Quite the contrary...the complexity of it all is, indeed, the human experience: to love, to grieve, to hate, to hurt, to heal...therefore, to live. A blissful paradise of innocence may shelter us from bitterness, jealousy, etc but maybe it also shelters us from having actual drive and connection(?)
Man, i do love this book. I'll keep thinking about all of this some more
