But you wanted a reason why I will not commit to anything that I am not

It is a fact that the brain has a very large "unused capacity" - -
So if you want to read and write forever, you read and write everyday. ;)
The brain "re-wires" itself to by-pass any faulty paths - the key
is to exercise those paths. Like the ones for using a computer. ;)
