What would the use be of thinking slower? Maybe for boring times?
I don’t just want conscious recall of information from web-like own memory, I want to be able to communicate (both receive and transmit) directly in hypertext—I don’t know what it would be like, but it’s frustrating that I can’t.
If I could alter my mind in deeper ways, I’d like really good version control. I’d also like to be able to toggle between sensory extension and old-style sensory systems—there’s a lot of art which is optimized for currently standard senses.
And I’d like self-modules., so that if I wanted to experience something as though it was new to me or as if I were at an earlier age, I could. Daniel Pinkwater (a notable author of children’s books) has mentioned that he has access to what it’s like to be various ages.

No, though that might be useful for things like long space travel too.
I’m more thinking about the ability to perceive and act on longer timescales effectively. What Robin Hanson calls the Long View. We are not very good at noticing and consciously dealing with processes that are much slower than our attention span. We have to piece these together from episodic memory.
Sorry for the laaaaate reply. Curious whether you are still here.
