Abstract (Original Language):
Similar to a computer, the untrained human mind whose protection filter is set
to a low level is under constant visual attacks of all sorts. Given this, mental pollution
acts like a computer virus, a code that replicates by copying itself to another program,
document or e-mail, thereby seriously slowing down memory operations. Also, it can
erase data or damage the computer's hard disk, which is analogous to long-term memory
in the human brain. Interestingly enough, lab experiments on rats have revealed that
these animals simply choose to starve to death when they are tempted by brain rewardstimulus
circuits in quests for neuro-orgasms. These rats rarely attain balanced brain
chemistry, while the orgasm they experience results in a hangover that lasts for weeks.
The same condition is also true for the human mind; the unnecessary over-discharge of
hormones triggered by electrifying visual stimuli can lead to long-lasting forgetfulness,
fatigue and serious concentration problems. In such a case, a person cannot make sense
of whatever he is studying until the side effects of mental pollution are over.
