Too much of everything is BAD

Yes! Youve never heard of hyperoxia?

Too much oxygen is terrible for your lungs o

ChieduJoshua081:
Your brain is more than a super computer. You don't yet understand the capacity of the human brain that's why you are scared. As I am now, i can never believe this stupid concept that "too much reading can make somebody mad naturally" it is a lie from people who can't read as much as you do or people who don't want you to know more than them.

Your brain can take any amount of information you need to take in and no matter the information you take in, when you die scientists will still tell you that you haven't used up to 10% of your brain. Although this has been said by some other scientist to be a very popular science myth but there may be some fact in it.

Juju and evil powers is very common in this part of the world so if you like you can believe it but a fact is it may be the cause of this your guy's misfortune.

That somebody choked and died while eating food does not mean we should not eat to our satisfaction.

That somebody drove a car and had an accident does not mean we should not drive cars again.

That somebody read and lost his mind does not mean we should not read as much as much as possible.

That somebody who had genius level IQ became mad does not mean we should not strive for world class intelligence.

Stop personalizing things and go out there and read all you can. We dont need more ignorant people anymore.

More people die of ignorance than of over learning or reading.

So your actual reason for opening this thread was to satisfy your revenge on the insane chap?

Coldie:

The boy who ran mad do a deeper research about him and his relatives if noone has any history of mental disorders.

There's a possibility that the boy might be adopted

"In medicine, hyperoxia refers to excess oxygen in the lungs or other body tissues, which can be caused by breathing air or oxygen at pressures greater than normal atmospheric pressure
Anyways I have a new personal doctor.......deal?

Coldie:

Hello Nairalanders

This issue has been bothering me for a while now......I had this friend who during our school days was so brilliant,in fact this friend of mine wrote his common entrance at primary 4....at jss1 he wrote his junior WAEC....

Back them we nickname him The "guru"....There was no time I visited him at home,that I wouldn't see him reading,this guy can read from morning till night.....though I was irritated with his attitude but I kept on admiring him because there is nothing in this world that this guy don't know....there is no words in the dictionary that is new to him... he was respected among our peers.....

Suddenly, he was no longer communicating with us with plain English,any small question will always be meant with grammar.. In fact this guy will go to the market to buy something and will begin to communicate with the market people with grammar...they we just be looking at him like a madman...

Then,one fateful day according to his mother,he ran out with a dictionary screaming "loquacious"all effort to calm him was in vain
the guy is in the asylum right now.....

This episode has left me confuse.....expert in the house can you help me out.....

CAN A PERSON LOSE HIS SANITY DUE TO EXCESSIVE READING??

CAN A PERSON LOSE HIS SANITY DUE TO EXCESSIVE READING?? Its It's possible, the brain can break down with too much activity just like any machine, I worked in assisted living, I noticed that most of the elderly people that has alzheimers are mostly top top professionals, heart surgeons, profs etc, all those professions that require serious mental activity, those activities stresses out the brain.while the ordinary people will still be alert even in their 90s.

I'm kinda scared right now cuz I read virtually everyday....maybe like one say earlier to much of everything is truly bad....

kelvinrhs:


Don't be scared.

I know about a lecturer He's always awake every night till dawn reading.

This man would switch on his generator switch on the TV(with a active DSTV subscription) , the ceiling fan and be charging his phone and then go sit outside on a plastic chair leaving everything running inside.

If he wasn't a lecturer and if I didn't know his worth, I would have concluded that he did money rituals lol

My whole point is that you can always set a limit for yourself.

Learning is good but too much of everything is bad

It refers to overexposure of cells to oxygen no matter the pressure.

The reason your source mentioned "pressures greater than normal atmospheric pressure" was because hyperbaric conditions are often used as a treatment method. Higher pressure is not the only way oxygen can become toxic but it is a common one.

Lol are you sure you can afford me?

Shibaraba:
From your topics.... You sef Don dey mental

Modified. ...
In my days in Futa people ran mad during exams. We attributed it to excessive reading. But alas research made us know that they had other problems.
Reading cannot make you mad. Although I fit dey quote formulas and theorems for road with obvious gestures ,it doesn't mean I'm mental.

By the way do you know that every human has at least a minute of madness everyday?
Smoke igbo join e go help you increase am to one hour. Smoke Colorado join e go increase to one day
Add Nigeria matter e go increase to a week
Add cocaine join upgrade to one month.
Make my mamas, awon iya mi oshoromoniga, add hand join it's a lifetime sumtin .
One love.

We still dey jack like no tomorrow in FUTA, yet no casualties.
there are other reason for mental illness. Scientifically, its absurd to believe over-reading can cause madness

Don't worry ur friend would still be okay. I am like that guy! Like seriously?...yes! In my class every body warned me to stop that i would get mad. But i never believed them and never will! Me and my bestie read up to like 16-18hrs a day. The only difference between me and ur friend is i don't speak grammar. And this was because am a science student. Let me tell u , ur friend might not be mad, but may be u and his relations. Maybe that crazy! I remeberd when i used to solve mathematics in the air everyone will scream MAD MAN STOP IT. Yeah to me a black board and chalk will just appear and i will begin to solve. Trust me every answer i got was correct. And even read in my dream and when i applies it in real life am correct. What am saying can not be mad from reading except he was taking drugs to read. U can check out my blog @ www.teknoteable..com

Ojeysam I sense that it's fear that motivates u most and that is very bad u have to overcome such attitude.

To be frank it's people like u that will know they haven't read for an exam coming up the next morning and they will be afraid to dedicate their time to read for long hours in last minute jacking because they are afraid of running mad.
If reading makes one run mad then it means Einstein was mad, my grand pa was mad, Newton was mad, Abraham Lincoln was mad, Thomas Jefferson was mad and most professors then will be mad by now.


Reading that strengthens the mind is what makes someone mad?
