I am out of my depth here and don’t know anything about how other people reason and construct mental models, but I mostly talk to myself about the problem and then do something at the end of that. There’s no point where I like have the whole solution in my minds eye (for programming topics, maybe for a drawing or a sculpture or removing a transmission or something I can do that).

Following the output of agent “thinking” simulation lines up pretty good with what I’ve been doing for 20ish years, but of course I may just be a moron who isn’t good at computers.

If you are avoiding a colonoscopy because you don’t want to get knocked out, they can do it while you’re awake.

If for some reason you don’t want to be anesthetized you can just ask. It is also cheaper this way and you can drive yourself home.

Based on my limited research it seems like anesthesia is mostly there because people are prude.

The painful parts of procedure doesn’t hurt any more than having bad gas pain.

And it’s only a few less-than-ten-second points during the procedure that are anywhere near what I would describe as painful.

The insertion of the camera is rather jarring if you’re not used to having things stuck up your ass, but again surprisingly painless.

I was able to watch along with the doctor on a massive tv screen and see my own innards.

Worst part was taking preparatory laxatives before.

Overall not a bad experience for the piece of mind it provided.

Get a colonoscopy if you are due or have reason to believe you should get one.
