That description of someone with a damaged pre-frontal cortex reminds me of me and many other premies back in the day.
When I quit the cult, a premie friend, who was pretty disappointed with me, said, well, on the upside, I've noticed that when people ex, they generally start making some money.
He was right for me anyway. I made plans for beyond the immediate future, and some of that worked. In fact, I realised one day that I had an old agreement with that same friend that I'd lazily let lapse, but it was worth £100k. He paid up, perhaps a little ruefully.
