100 % of my mind
The latest movie I saw was " Limitless" and I can't say understood it fully. The plot seemed to "Inception"- esque , inventing a technology that could possibly be desired but only for those who could handle the effects. In the plot a man finds a bag of pills in his friends apartment and upon taking them feels more stimulated than before. This drug nicknamed NZT has the remarkable power to allow the individual to access one hundred percent of their brain capacity. Although the concept is intriguing the thought of the outcome of such a drug is frightening. I question whether I would really want to know everything that I have ever thought, and remember everything I have ever seen. Instead of making me stronger it would most likely send me into a crippling cycle of memories. Or perhaps worse, drowning in infinite capablilites without knowing which to choose. The story makes for a decent movie but would be a terrible reality.
