Is keeping it asympotomatic enough to protect from the dangers though? Or are we just gonna have a bunch of brain damaged folks who don't know why they're getting early onset dementia when they're middle aged?
Yeah, it's hard to say. Generally all the evidence points to the worse symptoms you have, the more risk there is of long covid. But with the way the virus can evade or shut down the immune response, who knows?
Ah, see that's not what I've been hearing.

That doesn't contradict the claim that more severe COVID puts you at higher risk. Most people with long COVID had mild symptoms because many more people had mild symptoms (and survived) than had severe symptoms. It's the same reason that "most people who get COVID have had at least one vaccine" isn't evidence that getting the vaccine makes you more likely to get COVID.
Ah no, you're right. Bad reading comprehension on my part.
It's an easy mistake to make. Statistics is weird.
