Have you hit your cognitive ceiling? I fear I'm getting close.

Na, that's cope.
If instead of 1 hour you spend 1.3 hours on learning or thinking or reading or whatever you do, you will see a shift of perspective and understanding.
Taking a new subject when all the low hanging fruits of insights were had, looking at people who are good and concluding they are just better is denying the time they spend/wasted on it. You just don't have the willpower to get into it deeply - and I think that shouldn't be viewed as a deficit. nobody knows the meaning of life and periodically you'll come around asking you whether it's the fuck worth getting as deep into things than others who don't seem any more happy either.
Literally nobody is capital H "happy", so it's a matter of enjoying the process.
tl;dr there's plenty of room at the ground and you can go there if you find it's worth it.

lol you're just complacent. And funny as it is, your complacency is convincing you that you know shit. You fucking don't. Put your fucking hands back to the grindstone and work nigger.

The ceiling is a fundamental, structural constraint of your brain. You can't go beyond. There is only so much software optimization that can be done before hardware limitations become unavoidable.

You need to provide examples. I permanently live in mania/psychosis. While i hit walls and limits all the tiem, they are only temporary and usually very short-lived

One of me knows far more than I even can conceive.

Another of me knows that I know more than I can conceive.

If you believe QM, then the mind is beyond infinite and you are God, and you are already omniscient.

Well you do hit your cognitive floor when you bust a nut. It takes some time for your brain to recharge to normal thought levels.

But a program cannot exceed the limits of the machine it is written for. That is the point of the analogy. Did it hit your cognitive ceiling?

The brain-computer metaphor is just that, a metaphor. If you legit believe that our brains are "organic computers" please take an introductory biology lesson.

It is certainly not a von Neumann machine nor not even a computer as such (Turing machine) (cf. the Chinese Room argument), but nonetheless it is also not a magic device with unlimited and universal comprehension abilities.

Who cares, just learn new shit. If you forget other shit in the process, look over your notes when you need to come back to that topic. Accept your brain's physical limitations and work around them. Joy should come from the process of learning. If you're struggling with a topic, then you just aren't motivated enough to completely throw yourself into it or you have dementia.

Almost 24, the meme of biologically peaking at 25 has loomed in my head for at while. Am I really this close to the downhill section of life?
Fortunately, I choose not to let anecdotal or statistical theories interfere with my sense of worth, as no two people's development are exactly the same.
A better question is, are you still curious, or have you chosen to see nothing of interest left to be discovered?
