What is dementia?
In: Other
Basically, the disease makes the brain stops braining properly. It’s usually genetic but some really gnarly chemicals can mutate your genes and cause it.
It happens in stages, but it’s essentially just a system by system shutdown of the brain. pull some harddrives here, delete a sys32 file there, until the individual is simply floating through a mental reality untethered by structure, unable to build new connections, often times unable to keep together recent connections.
The whole thing is terrifying. It’s like you as a person just… unravel. The only thing left of you is the parts that were so deeply engraved they don’t float away. Memories from when you were much younger take over your perception of reality and you just can’t pull it together enough most of the time to even realize.
