    If scientists can’t point at the bit of brain meat that is consciousness, I’m just gonna leave it alone. I could maybe justify adding math understanding, but even then the need for that is already low with computers especially if it were hooked into my brain.

    I could be in VR headspace writing on a chalkboard whenever needed.

    I assume I could even temporarily “overclock” my brain to some degree if needed (read: thinking really hard/changing perception of time in the same way that we already experience naturally or via substances), in the same sort of management like sleeping one half of the brain.

    Automated teaching and targeted learning could probably also be a thing. Or sleep/dream supplementary learning. Or simply VR lectures (like a video but slightly better). Learning this way would already be easier as there wouldn’t be distractions/upkeep for an organic body (what body there is would have automated upkeep, though you may still be distracted if something unexpected happens).
