But all work depends on some sort or type of memory-based function.

If you take that away in some hypothetical system, which seems to be what you are describing, then it will be as if nothing happened, happens or will happen.

It is pretty much like a constant memory wipe, paradoxically.

Such system would have people so lost in this torpor state of mind it would just mean everyone could just get fooled or heavily dependant on failable things, all the time.

It seems like a huge dystopia, I don't want in.
