Coined by artist Jerry Cantrell on his sophomore album under the same name, a Degradation Trip is often interpreted as a reverse victory lap. Instead of looking back on what you have done with pride, it is more akin to wallowing in your own regret as a way to punish yourself into doing better in the future.
In the case of Jerry Cantrell, it comes as a looking back at his time in the band Alice In Chains before the tragic death of lead singer Layne Staley. What he would have done different, and what he would have said different, and looking at his own life to reflect on if he is going down the same path.

Degraded cognition: (noun) The impairment or deterioration of cognitive abilities and understanding of the world due to certain factors such as injury, disease, or the use of certain substances. It can also refer to the reduction in cognitive performance or understanding due to the malfunction or misuse of technology, particularly artificial intelligence.
