Eddie's encounter with the drug MTD-48 makes him a human informaiton power house. He constantly takes in information from multiple sources; tv, internet, and books, retaining them all.
I hate to think, but do wonder, what effects this would have on a human mind. What would it feel like to memorize everything, to take in everything you see or hear? It almost makes him seem inhuman, like some kind of supercomputer, always analyzing. That's just what he does too; analyze. He gains the ability to predict certain events, such as stock market fluctuations, by taking in vast amounts of information and analyzing them. How would life feel then; would it feel amazing, because you are constantly learning and getting better, or would it be boring and easy now that you really dont need to try? I think that Eddie will begin to feel negative effects of the drug, because like most good things, they're too good to be true. If you had the chance to try out this revolutionary new pill, would you?
I think knowing everything would make life boring. I mean the one thing we always do is learn new things about the world around us over the span of our life time. It would be so boring to know everything by the time you were 25 and then learn nothing new after that.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be so cool to memorize everything... though I probably wouldn't want to remember some things. But I had just read today that the human brain can hold everything that ever happens to a person.
ReplyDeleteI would use it sparingly. I do think it would be cool because I do like knowledge, but I seem to forget a lot of it. If there was some way to keep it all in my brain, then I would do it. I would take the pill.
ReplyDeleteI think I would end up being addicted to the pill and pull off a Doran Grey. Let's face it, if I really really really hated everything and was so lonely, I would use this pill to manipulate everything and become the ultra-douche. Because that's what everyone wants to do.
