Is there a way to give yourself permanent amnesia?

Scientifically proven method

I was thinking more...homemade, without the chance of turning in to a vegetable.

I just would like to see what kind of person I would be If I had no good or bad memories from the last few decades. Would I become the same person again through making the same choices or would I be happier/sadder/angrier/fatter?

brain/thinking is fueled by glucose. the speed at which glucose hits the brain depends on the amount of fiber in ur system. More fiber-rich ur diet is the slower glucose will hit ur system, but ull have more endurance. Less fiber, glucose will be able to hit ur brain much quicker. focus on nuts/seeds, beans, veggies, fruits and protein and carbo load (where ull remember sh!t again) every few days. ull be forgeting sh!t in no time (i know from personal experience), but when u carbo load memories should be coming back for those couple of days of the week that u load up on glucose (u need to carbo load to store the glycogen in ur muscles for future use, but some will also be stored in ur liver which ur brain will definitely use). still ull have a good 4-5 days every week where u don't remember sh!t.

I think your best bet if you want to forget something is hypnosis. I don't know anyone that has tried it for that purpose but I've known people who had success using hypnosis for other issues.

But you wouldn't know!

Btw, have you seen Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind? Great movie.

Henry Gustav Molaison (February 26, 1926 – December 2, 2008), known widely as H.M., was an American man who had a bilateral medial temporal lobectomy to surgically resect the anterior two thirds of his hippocampi, parahippocampal cortices, entorhinal cortices, piriform cortices, and amygdalae in an attempt to cure his epilepsy. Although the surgery was partially successful in controlling his epilepsy, a severe side effect was that he became unable to form new memories.

I think im pretty normal. The people i interact with daily, work personal life from across the world seem pretty normal.

what the fuck is it with the internet and the people it attracts?

I have never, in my real life had a discussion about how to shit, or wipe your ass or any other toilet related topic. This thread falls into the category of im just making a grimace face and wondering if im interacting with actual retards.

Maybe im the retard?

I think many of us (especially on this forum) have had similar thoughts at some time or other. A wish to press the reset button, after surveying the state of one's life and thinking that maybe it would be better if we could ctrl-z some stuff and make some different changes earlier in the stack somehow. I'm no scientist, there's not really a safe and predictable way for this to happen without taking a lot of huge gambles. Plus a bunch of other things in your life would instantly become messed up as a side-effect. If you are really in a spot where you aren't happy with how things are going (probably not hard to imagine, considering life is pretty upside down compared to the "normal" we've all known forever before the events of the past year) then it's probably a better instinct to look at how to change the future for yourself, as opposed to obliterating the past. Without sounding any more preachy, there's obviously countless ways for this to happen, so maybe if you can redirect some of the energy that you've got thinking about this "how can I remove my past" stuff into what differently you can focus on to change your life in the future - well, it's a start, at least..

Just clone yourself. Your clone will be an exact duplicate of you, minus the emotional baggage.

Better yet, clone yourself several times and have them adopted into different lifestyles, so you get a better idea of what type of man you could have become.
