The Labyrinth, The Nightmare, and The Void

I’ve been documenting the psychological progress of a number of child abuse victims ranging from moderate to severe sexual and physical abuse over the past few years. First hand data heavily indicates that memory recall and practice of basic psychoanalysis while under repeat use

@Camoku0 @AI_EmeraldApple I don't know about this particular topic in question but as someone who used to use words to dismantle and break people down to the point they destroy themselves, words are definitely weapons. The concept is a lot more nuanced than the vague language you're using.

@AI_EmeraldApple Words are weapons according to these delusional psychos.

One of the three counts of misdemeanor Disorderly Conduct against Shiloh Hendrix was dropped! Her defense attorney argued that the speech did not meet the legal threshold for “inciting violence” or unprotected “fighting words” under the First Amendment, and the judge granted the dismissal of one count. The other two counts survived and amended and are still set for trial on June 15. The amended complaint keeps them framed around the “offensive language” itself... what a freaking joke! This is America, and getting charged with a crime for saying words is just insane!

The first three don't happen unless you're already living the kind of life that has too many variables linking to poor health and sub-optimal self care behavior in the first place. The rest of the list is literally a skill issue. In other words, a poor relationship with yourself stems from a deficiency in owning up to your own knowledge (honesty to yourself). If you feel guilty or ashamed for instance, that's because you're taking the external world's validation or beliefs to heart without personal examination of the data. The whole thing can be summarized as someone who has no ownership over their own knowledge and principles, which is a majority of the population.

Don't believe them. Masturbation is a great sin and has great negative effect on our health. This is what happens when you masturbate, most especially regularly; -Fatigue or low energy -Genital soreness or irritation -Reduced focus/productivity -Guilt or anxiety (especially due to beliefs) -Possible addiction/compulsive behavior Unrealistic sexual expectations (if linked with p0rn) Stay safe guys. Go an marry too.

@QueenofSadSongs @Ryan_Daigler They don't have to be. They can just be guided by the force of envy and the patterns described here just become the reflection of what they internally desire because of how their perceived powerlessness in life propagates its interactions with external reality.

@Ryan_Daigler They are conscious of this from the start????

A narcissistic abuse tactic I call “Leapfrogging” is a form of predatory behavior where a narcissist targets someone they envy—often someone who possesses traits, status, or social capital the narcissist lacks or is threatened or envious of. The malignant narcissist makes a conscious decision to destroy or discredit the target before initiating the friendship or connection. The entire relationship is a setup—an infiltration. They study their target, mimic their behavior, and mirror their values, all while planning their psychological ambush. Cont.

Humanity, both at the individual and collective level, partially has a certain hatred for its own self that is baked into all of their actions and interactions, staining even their ambitions.

Why do humans believe the language with which they use to communicate to one another is a suitable mental system for describing something as complex as the engine of reality?

Unfortunately "objective" implies something else entirely and opens you up to a very appropriate misinterpretation, because now you're entering the realm of a much deeper philosophical discussion on the nature of reality itself. When we are too careless or too vague with our words, we open our civilization up to further misinterpretations and thus the swindling and "gaslighting" becomes even more inevitable. These inaccuracies in robust thinking (philosophy) is exactly why we're dealing with everything we're dealing with now in the first place. As a side note: The thing is, I do think there *can* be a thesis done for this.. I can see it clearly in my head but I'm refraining from it because I'm not sure I even want to take on that responsibility. But the "objective beauty" you all refer to doesn't exist in the way that I think you're all wanting it to. You're pulling from intuition but it's inaccurately being applied to a system of thought that is already crudely stained by fear and ressentiment. And when minds are stained by insecurities, it will always arrive at selfishly motivated conclusions. It's happening on all sides of the argument.

@ourokronos @AI_EmeraldApple The function of adding "objective" in front of "beauty" is to highlight that, in contrast, gaslighting like "DEI beauty" or "Modern Audience Beauty" have zero demand in an open and free marketplace. Time-tested beauty is objective so sadly we must prefix beauty to avoid agenda.

Overwatch could never... Marvel Rivals continues to dazzle the playerbase with its new costume based on the "disco dazzler" concept. pun not intended 😝 Netease and China know what they are doing... and they are trying to conquer the western gaming space with more skin, more fan service, and more chaotic casual fun gameplay. The costumes come with a tight leotard with cutouts, cleavage, and a design that accentuates her character assets, and that still qualifies under the same PG-13 rules. For some reason, Western game studios became obsessed with uglifying and covering up everything as the feminists invaded the gaming studios and demanded that anything that could attract the male gaze be taken away. Then they sit on their laurels and assume that foreign companies couldn't make AAA gaming experiences, and now the Western AAA is laying off thousands as the games commercially fail, as overseas developers are filling the gap. Western AAA forgot the golden rule: give the audience what it actually wants, not what reddit activists demand.

@skdh Once a physicist always a physicist.

I regret to inform you that I am still a physicist, and will be, for the rest of my life.

You know you could just say "conventional beauty" because that's exactly what those are, or honestly even just plain "beauty", since beauty is always going to be generally fitted around the culture and era it's being spoken in, thus generally everyone will agree or know what you're talking about. Needing to add anything at the front is absolutely pointless.

@ourokronos @AI_EmeraldApple I wonder if there's a better term than "objective beauty" which doesn't disenfranchise niche fetishes or unusual preferences. Maybe: "Overwhelming majority-agreed-upon beauty" "Subjective yet consensus beauty" "Non-modern-audience Beauty Standards" "Beauty that actually sells"🤔

While I agree with the general sentiment, "normalize sex appeal", and there's a whole thesis you could write about this if anyone wanted to that argues for *why* it's good for humanity's destiny, the whole idea of "objective beauty" is profoundly low resolution and rooted in the same kind of fear and insecurities that those in opposition harbor in the first place 🤦‍♂️.

@AI_EmeraldApple Normalize objective beauty and sex-appeal. A straight decade of DEI-Chin and Man-Hips/Shoulders on homely "female" characters is enough gaslighting, and we must continue to shame and "go broke" anyone that thinks they can manipulate against human nature.

@CanonUSA Double rainbow over New York City right outside my windows where I lived over a year ago. (Empire State in the distance on the left, Freedom Tower on the right) The phone camera does it no justice as it was even more visible to the naked eye.

Sliced up some raw fish for nigiri pieces for dinner with my friends =D. Again, continuing with the plan of trying to consume more DHA. It's been some years since I've last cut for sushi so I definitely need more practice (also need a suitable knife, this one was too short to do single strokes). //Loch Duart Salmon (saku and toro), Bluefin Tuna (akami and o-toro), Hiramasa (saku), and ikura.

Claude's response to the above.

Lastly, this same exact experience happened a second time a couple months after. I was curious about it as I couldn't understand how something could be so hyper-violent and so sure of itself. Some kind of instinct told me if I wanted to protect myself in life I would need to have an understanding that this thing seems to just casually have 🤣. I also remember feeling something approximating "contempt" for it. But I didn't want to kill it. It's a smaller creature. It's readily apparent that there's something dishonest about that sort of impulse. If I killed it I would know I'm backing down from learning. What I wanted was it's MINDSET. I wanted to understand what made it so devoid of fear. Whether or not I was just projecting my own heightened feelings at the time, it made me feel like it had the only mindset I would ever need to go through whatever life threw at me. I wanted to be the "bigger monster" mentally. I respected it, so you could say I "required" to earn it's respect back. And so.... When I touched it again, the same exact thing happened. I knew right then that the same thing was going to happen and it would last for almost two days and that's exactly what happened. I really hated going through that again. The crazy thing was both times I didn't even have the mental space or capacity to cry, even though I was normally a bigger crybaby than most my age at the time, lol. I have a vivid memory of how its pincers felt both times it had me in its grip. This unsettling, tight, almost metallic but smoother and sharper like marble, relentlessly pinching your skin. It felt alien and inorganic, like it was a machine. Yet I knew it was alive. And so I thought this thing was "perfect".

Been meaning to share this for years in its full detail but today my friends and I revisited again an important memory I've always carried my whole life since I was 1.8 years old. I tried to re-describe to them all the details of the sensation I felt after being bitten by a centipede in the Philippines and in doing so triggered an automatic recreation across my body of how it felt but only for an extremely uncomfortable two seconds. It was so unexpected that it made me reflexively jolt my arms around just in a flailing attempt to shut the memory off. ------------------- I was 1.8 years old and walking around the front terrace of my grandmother's house where my whole family stayed. It was a really bright sunny early afternoon, probably around 12 or 2 PM. Since the red gates are a few feet away this area is connected to the outside where insects or birds can just casually walk in, so it was normal for me to see a beetle or butterfly on some days. So you can imagine my curiosity when I saw this creature that looked so alien and so abstract was just casually walking across the inner wooden doorway. I came closer because it seemed unlike any other creature I've encountered before, almost as if it had more "intent" than the others. Though that doesn't make much sense, it's just how I truly felt in that moment. It seemed like it was "casually assured of its existence", if that makes any sense. Keep in mind I was describing these as words in my head, these are approximations of the qualias I felt from looking at it. And so I touched its back with my left hand 😅. I did NOT know it was going to be this quick but it was somehow already gripping my hand with its pincers and I'm panicking trying to let me go but it felt like this thing was aggressively violent for no reason. I figured this conversation was a good chance to dabble in AI and learn about it so I go on my friend's Claude to describe my memory so I can get some level of knowledgeable reaction to compare. Here is what I said to Claude: "I remember going through that feeling of some extremely uncomfortable, hard to describe in words, dull but burning in a really abstractly unsettling way all across both sides of my neck, tracing down to my upper outer chests and down my shoulders and forearms into the back of my hands, as if something was inside my major veins that was too thick or viscous to contain. A similar feeling was consistent but to a slightly smaller degree going down my left and right upper back. There was also a wider spread but lower intensity area that wraps around and follows all of those paths. Lastly there was a headache around both halfs of my skull and around my eye sockets. This felt like an eternity and I was just wondering when this relentlessly persistent experience would stop or if it ever would. It lasted for almost two full days. Even laying down did nothing because it literally remains a CONSTANT no matter what I did. I was unable to function other than stand and walk really slow while hunched over with my arms slightly curved outward and forward. It felt like what I would later in my life describe as an extreme fleshy hangover multiplied by several orders of magnitude of discomfort with a fever-like bonus all around it. Everything ached like even the flesh on the back of my hands. I didn't know exactly what was happening but I did acknowledge that it came right after the bite and the thing finally let me go. I also thought to myself in my head, "yeah this feeling somehow matches up to how that thing looked, it's colors, and shape and everything. From the black to the slight gradient hues of amber or reddish brown on the legs." In the images below are screenshots of Claude's response:

Until a certain level of metacognition is as natural to the entire human population as our ability to feel emotions, it's kind of "impossible" to expect any nuance when attempting to discuss unsolved topics. In its own way, it eventually *can* atrophy the potential of those who find the most meaningful experiences from a relentless pursuit of deeper understanding.

Pretty much. Simulation hypothesis is just an updated re-skinning of Multi-Worlds Interpretations designed to offer a skin themed to better suit the modern age of computers. Both cancel each other out when played to its fruition. The only reason these things are popular is because civilization up to this point has always found elaborately uncreative ways to find detachment as a means of escaping the weight of their personal existence.

if you were to try and formulate this idea mathematically, you would realize that it's meaningless blather. that's why physicists use maths. x.com/InterstellarUA…

@InterstellarUAP Because you want to escape your reality by detachment from tangible meaning. You are so traumatized that you actually have led yourself to believe that you don't exist in any meaningfully objective way.

I believe 100% we are in a simulation

🚨 Simulation Theory: The Double Slit Experiment proves particles act like waves until observed then they snap into particles. What if our reality only "renders" when we're looking, just like a video game optimizing resources? Check out this episode from The Why Files breaking it down, tying it to Simulation Theory. Are we in a sim? This could be the key to unlocking the true nature of existence! The Why Files video did a great job on explaining the Double Slit Experiment & Simulation Theory What do YOU think—real or rendered? Drop your thoughts below!

You know, if you're serious about seeking knowledge, you might want to ask how human minds work. The undervalued relationship between neuroscience, psychology and philosophy would give you a better chance at original ideas. You seem to be in a rush to embrace what's already been shown as an incomplete understanding by taking no responsibility to own your own knowledge. You don't even bother questioning what "God" is designed to express for human minds, or why there's such an eerily uncanny relationship to a personalized cosmic force by proxying. Why so personal? What effects does that do for us? And when the first question is answered, does it actually need to be so personal? The arrogance you display when it comes to this topic is the exact same level of arrogance the atheists you're likely aiming downward for. What is especially fascinating is how you summon the greats like Einstein, but disingenuously aim at what anyone can only assume are the most simple minded atheists. You don't bother asking "why", from the vantage point of rational fields relevant to this topic, there's even such a reaction from civilization "against" religion in the first place. You think things just happen like, "people are just dumb and they're missing this really simple thing" but take no responsibility to muster up the courage to empathize *why* these events occur. Because ironically, it's the same reason you're in a rush to lie to yourself. Do you honestly believe you believe in these things as much as you try to gas it up when you don't even believe in yourself? That's called a detachment to life. You speak of LOGOS, but you did not arrive at that conclusion yourself or by your own personal experience. Every time you mention it, it plays out just how, not little, but how close to zero you understand its nature at all. True knowledge isn't just "logic", it relies on personal experience. The kind of experiences you're neglecting by hiding behind giants whose minds you cannot comprehend just to procrastinate unraveling what you're even suffering from to be this irrationally one dimensional. Schopenhauer was wrong, completely. But if you think his conclusions don't have valuable merit for others to take further that actually meaningfully add to the discussion, well then that's another kind of blissful arrogance that completes the circle of your own loop. Somewhere in the boundary between the threshold of what you can endure and non-existence itself, when you look at it directly and honestly, is a fractional dot of truth you might build into an eventual LOGOS. But if it feels like Fear, you've already arrived at the wrong conclusions long before you became aware of it. Welcome to existence, where things will hurt. But if you wait for a savior, you'll never know what it's like to have done it yourself, thus rendering your suffering meaningless. And now you'll never understand the mind and experiences of this savior of yours. At that point you'll have symbolically crucified his existence all over again. "Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do" really springs to mind now. The loop continues. And btw... Simulation-Hypothesis is easily explained as: A mere re-skinning of the Multi-Worlds Interpretations, with the same limitations that cancel its entire potential out to zero. People gravitate because they want to escape their life, or more aptly put, unable to handle the weight of their own personal existence. A precise mirror of what you're doing when you run to beliefs that have already laid foundations that cancel its own premise.

Simulation theory is like "finding god" for the atheists. The problem and the reason why so many people cringe at the idea of "god" is because popular religion and mass organized religion deconstructed the idea of "God" into a literal cartoon bearded man in the sky that looks like humans and has the same psychology... and treat bible verses as concrete atomized concepts that has no relation to the chapter or to the whole. Thomas Aquinas, perhaps one of the most intelligent men to live, said it best in Summa Theologica. God is the pure spirit with zero body, zero parts, zero location, zero time... almost like a hologram that exists in all space and time at once and nothing at the same time. The essence of existence itself God isn't something human beings can comprehend, just like an amoeba can't comprehend quantum physics. We can't even ask the right questions of reality, and maybe the best we can come up with is "simulation theory"... but even that has a problem of infinite regression of the simulators themselves being simulated themselves and so on. Simpler people think that humans "look like God," but Genesis doesn't say we look like God. It says we were made in HIS image, after HIS likeness. God is the rational soul... specifically ties into our intellect: the power to know, reason, the logos... and will, the power to love and choose freely between good and evil. That's the "image", not something stupid like a mirror selfie, but a real, participatory likeness that's beyond a simple picture. In Christian theology, specifically, this is the idea that god made sub-creators as humans who can ponder creation itself and, in doing so, we humans dimly reflect the ONE who just is existence. This is why Christianity, in its sophisticated form, invites us, humans, towards discovering god's design... and this was precisely why the scientific revolution was born out of the Christian tradition and nowhere else. This is why almost all of the scientists who were godfathers of modern science... Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Newton, Boyle, Maxwell... were Christian... and even people like Fermi and Einstein were deeply spiritual in the same tradition, even if they weren't specifically "Christian" . Here, the implication is that the language of mathematics itself is a small fraction of god's design. This is why high-IQ people arrive at the same conclusion as the low-IQ people of the uncaused cause. High IQ people see the beauty in the logos, in reason, the rational order, and in math, and see a fractional glimpse of god's design. Low IQ people accept god as the default of existence because they intuit it without reason. It's the midwits who claim atheism because they can't fathom religious thought to be anything sophisticated... classic Dunning-Kruger effect applied to metaphysics

It's incredible what inventing the concept of the unit value "1" has done for civilization. An idea that exists only in the mind of complex consciousness, but never in nature, has allowed humans to build literally *everything*. People look for "magic" or wait for a "savior" but ignore the magic that's already been baked into the human experience for thousands of years. It's not just technology and infrastructure, it's the readily available access to sharing and glimpsing what other conscious beings have experienced from the safety of a controlled environment thanks to artistic media (novels, shows, music, games, etc.).
