Since the brain is optimized for low energy environments, and we have now reached a high energy availability era, it makes you wonder if there's a way to get around the mental fatigue problem somehow. Fatigue is incredibly intellectually debilitating and if we could find a way to be fully on all of the time if we so wish, that should come with a great increase in quality of life.
Now available energy is almost certainly not the only reason we have fatigue, so maybe there's other barriers to overcome, but I'm shocked at how little attention this topic gets. In hackernews spirit, if someone could sell a real cure for mental fatigue, you'd change the world
