Super cool! Imo kind of makes sense - think these sort of problems (communication) are general across actors and science seems to confirm some cases (between plants / funghi, cuddlefish, mamals..). Were not as unique as we think & thats freeing.
When I was a kid I had a terrible ear infection, and I was going in and out of this state all night. I had also just discovered Pokemon and had been playing it all day.
I realized that I was injured and the solution of course was to be recalled to a Pokeball. I tried in earnest to do this for who knows how long. Eventually it hit me that I didn't have any other Pokemon I could switch to so sadly it wouldn't work.
It sounds like a joke when I put it into words but it felt very real. Honestly in retrospect I think the distress was worth the unique experience (and subsequent amusement).
How cool! Thanks for sharing! :) yeah the fever / infection sessions as kids were intense experiences - super interesting insights in what the mind can produce - super valuable insights imo.
I had funny imagination while having fever as a kid as well. Could imagine a surface switching from being satin-smooth to edgy and rough in a perfect transition - maybe some form of texture-halucination..? anyways, the way it would "feel" to the touch is how it felt emotionally as well - super hard to describe but an interesting link to experience somehow :)
After meditating for 3 years, these states are common when dreaming - as awareness persists within dreams - doesnt equal lucidity - as no active actions performed - can recommend meditating, its art.
Feel like the sweeteners mess up my digestion. Are useful to get some protein after a workout - in everyday rather eat some almonds & less processed food..
I make my date B join my macys date with A via zoom, both works as Im on the treadmil & online shopping. Helps a lot to get some reflexions about A and myself from B, B is usually happy for the trust & impressed by my openness. Division is always virtual and hindering. Enjoy complexity (like making complexity jokes at dates, hihi)
That presupposes a distinction between the universe and the observer. The idea that any such distinction is an illusion is both ancient and profound. (Perhaps even obvious, at least in the abstract.)
I think it can be charitably interpreted to mean, for everyday purposes, however much you "zoom in" on something, there's meaningful details at lower and lower resolutions until you've exhausted your focus or ability to zoom.
Surely, keeping a 1:1 match between our perception of the universe and the universe itself is a kind of order that would be constantly under threat by the inexorable move towards increasing entropy. The lack of match either now or in the future is what you would expect. Chaos is the expect state, order is the exception. Hence you should not expect for that match to exist by default
I read recently an article on HN that basically entropy (and hence increase thereof) is just a statistical model of uncertainty of the things we don't know. As soon as our understanding (of e.g. positions and velocity of individual molecules) increases, that what we call entropy, decreases. At least my understanding.
You can be born with your perception. For example, opposite sexes generally attract and you don’t really have to teach this. We’re born to see things the same, but somehow we work to obstruct this by modding our perception. When one person mods their perception, they become god ( a creator). For example, you aren’t the tallest one in the room but you see yourself as that. You create a reality, and this is something people are addicted to and causes all the harm in the world (someone is manipulating our shared perception with their lie).
Reality is a repository that we must all be good maintainers of. Beware the false PR (delusions).
Which brings me to the the author’s article. Many creatures on earth, past and present, omit or ignore all the little details. They live a lie that is just as intricate as the details. Details matter if the details matter to you. Humans are world builders, and they will reshape the details to see what they want. So will a snake, its own tail can look like its food if necessary.
