When you try to think and feel like a character when creating a character, you give experiential life into that character by imagining yourself in its perspective and reap the experiential rewards of such imaginative flights. The benefits of such role-play are wildly underestimated but should be very concrete to anyone who studies childhood education.

What I have been recursively self-improving in myself is the powers of my own imagination, which are informed both by scientific realism and speculative surrealism. The experience of finding this wavelength is something I call "popping into Popomo": >>14100544

Your post is absolutely based and I agree with it 100%. You are a fucking intellectual badass and I cheer you on. However I want to talk about this:

>No, your consciousness is simply daydreaming now that it doesn't have to provide you with information like "there's probably a great big dirty lion nearby" or "you're being stalked" every minute of the day.

Why do you devalue dreams? Have you considered that daydreaming and sleeping dreams are evolutionary processes? The more you daydream, the more you're experimenting with your experiential DNA, combining and mutating elements in order to create possibilities that are otherwise than you have experienced.

Dreams Anon, dreams are key to who we really are. Dreams do not separate from us absolutely from other animals qualitatively, it is only a matter of how far we can grasp with our dreams.

>As a thinker, Whitehead is thus not so much the author of the scheme and the concepts he articulates as he was obliged by them, in a process of empirical experimentation-verification that is akin to trance, because in it thought is taken, captured, by a becoming that separates it from its own intentionality. A "mechanical" becoming in the sense of Deleuze and Guattari, in the sense that thinkers can produce this thought only because they have have themselves become a piece, or gear, of what has captured them, much more than they have created it. Thought is then no longer the exercise of a right but becomes an "art of consequences," consequences that leap from one domain to another, or, more precisely, that make interstices zigzag where a homogeneous right has seemed to reign, and make connections proliferate where "this has nothing to do with that" had prevailed.

>That is why I had to "think with Whitehead," that is, accept the capture and become a gear.
