/lit/ - Literature

>>19748944
To begin, I think we would all agree that we all have some faculty of our mind which can generate a kind of imagery, albeit lacking the reality of what we take to be real in our physical experience. Now, I also think that we would agree that from time to time we have a type of experience that also lacks the intense reality of our conscious physical experience and occurs while we are sleeping; these experiences we call dreams.

Now, we usually take the imaginative faculty during waking life to be subject to our will and as a result imaginings are within our control. On the other hand, in our dream experiences, many events appear to occur against our will. However, I think that both dreams and waking imaginings are both products of our imaginative faculty. Why then is it that one experience is taken to be voluntary and the other involuntary?

I think an analogy to the functioning of the imaginative faculty could be made with the functioning our lungs; our breathing process can occur on a voluntary and involuntary level. It is constantly occurring in the background unconsciously and involuntarily, but enters our consciousness when we voluntarily take over the breathing process. In comparison, dreaming is like unconscious involuntary breathing in so far as in dreaming the dream events occur against our will and, although we are conscious of the dream, we lack the self-awareness to be conscious that we are *in* a dream; waking imaginings, on the other hand, are like conscious breathing, in that we are imagining in accordance with our will and our aware that they our only our imagings; we are self aware and do not become identified with the imaginings, that is to say, lose self-awareness.

Now notice that waking reality has a more intense reality, or sensual intensity, than dreams, and dreams have a more intense reality than waking imaginings. In this way, I hypothesize that waking reality, dream worlds, and waking imaginings are all a continuum of the products of our imaginative faculty. If this is so, then to continue with the breathing analogy, then there may be ways to taking conscious, self-aware, and voluntary control of dreams, and in fact there are many who claim to have developed this ability through what is called lucid dreaming. Furthermore, if we achieve the ability to alter our dream reality, then if our waking reality is also a product of our imaginative faculty, which I believe it is, then believe we may also be able to alter waking reality by attaining a type of self awareness. Now, how this self- awareness is to be obtained I am not sure, but I suspect that the methods of Yoga are, in fact, the path to this self-awareness, and, as a result, a path to becoming divine in a very literal sense

This is all pretty much basic stuff: I propose that animals think in part in images, some of which may be telepathically derived. That for example, a dog may be susceptible to detecting the thoughts of a guilty-minded unseen criminal hiding behind two opaque closed window panes of glass, and bark out an alarm, but only when the thief is guilty minded and not just anxious.

TRIPS CONFIRM

who else here is trying to learn a language?

I'm not sure if my 400-or-less essay for high-school is any good. We're supposed to write about one of 7 different "standards" so I chose habits. I hope you guys can pick at it with constructive and conciseness because I'd love to get an A.

"Yin and Yang, two opposites combined.
Nowhere more apparent than the global situation we’ve faced.

There are the lazy– the Yin. We’ve all been there, eating chips on the couch. But as the pace of quarantine sped, so did the weight. There are the “go-getters”; Yang defined growth periods for many during COVID-19. But in the dots betwixt the two swirling masses of force lies what truly made us blossom during those months.

Habits. Those tiny pieces of Yin or Yang are so subtle; No wonder they always seem to add up so quickly. Habits, this “Standard #4” as you’d call it. It is what drives the difference between people. A good way to understand this is with one of my favorite books: “Atomic Habits” by James Clear. It is a marvelous read, but in short: “Success is the product of daily habits– not once-in-a-lifetime transformations.”

Things like cooking meals, or as simple as making your bed. These habits bring about mindsets that completely change our views, even if they all are so extremely insignificant together.
Habits make the minuscule changes in a song’s mix to make it a best-seller. Habits… are.
These things brought me out from the Yin, and into the Yang. It drives me to get better, say to go from 260 pounds to 190, to do all the little things that make us who we are.

In short:

Habits are what gave me the ability to become who I am today.
Without that form of work ethic, these words may have not been written.

unironically I feel this is how schizophrenia was born. Distortion between the spiritual, the syncopial and the physical.

Hey anon. Not sure how stringent you want the criticism, but I'll be fairly rigorous.
>Yin and Yang, two opposites combined.
Just swap out that comma for a semicolon.
>But as the pace of quarantine sped, so did the weight.
I like what you're going for here. Personally, I would instead write something like: 'But as quarantine endured, so did our weight gain.' Or, alternatively, 'There seemed a direct correlation between the length of quarantine, and the magnitude of our weight gain.' Just some ideas.
>betwixt
Maybe a less archaic word? "between" might be better.
>Habits make the minuscule changes in a song's mix to make it a best-seller.
I like the idea again, but it could be refined. Personally, I would write that sentence more like 'Habits are the difference between a song --- and a chart-topping hit.' Something like that? It's up to you, anyway.
>Habits... are.
I don't know about this line, anon. Maybe you could add 'everything' on to the end of the sentence? So that it would read 'Habits... are everything.' Again, it's up to you.
Everything else is pretty good. Hope this helps!

Porn is a man-made plague, a mind virus. They say decadence brought down the Roman empire, more likely it was an escalating series of plagues. In any case, can anyone doubt that millions of youths in the Western world, principally males, are significantly deleteriously affected by porn? What makes it so remarkable is that it's so intangible, mere images, and, yet, of course so much more. It's as though every phone and computer monitor were a mini fridge chock full of an infinite supply of *free* cocaine. It functions quite suspiciously like a form of Orwellian social control: precisely because it is free. Imagine the kind of cataclysmic wreckage that any other drug would unleash on society if it were free and literally a mere arm's length away in terms of accessibility.

At the very least hardcore porn should be better regulated, because it far surpasses the abilities of mere words or non-pornographic imagery. Rather it's something more approaching (because intentionally so designed) a literal hypnogogic/psychotropic drug, that insidiously rewires and thereby undermines the mind: making of the suffer all too often a moral stranger to himself and others, because their brains have been neurochemically metamorphosed in genuine Kafkaesque fashion.

>>19749342
Does the porn make one more avoidant of women?

>>19749342
How would you regulate it? Especially without driving the whole business underground and arguably making it worse, and less policeable, as a result?

>there may be ways to taking conscious, self-aware, and voluntary control of dreams
I do this fairly frequently, and it is quite simple (atleast for me). Once I've realised that I am in a dream, whatever I will, happens.
Being able to differentiate between dreams and waking reality is probably the hard part. Whenever I become aware of the fact that the last thing I remember happening is me going to sleep, I understand that I am in a dream. Then I take over control and the fun begins.
However, it is a very narrow road that I walk in such a situation -- if I get too...excited? aware? I'm not sure, but if whatever that happens, happens, I lose my presence in the dream world and the dream ends.

My 14 day quarantine got cut down to 10 days. This saves me some short term hassle at work, but it also means that I'll be coming back from the holidays straight into a 7 day work week. At least I only have two and a half months left before I can go back home.

I am convinced that I am not human, but I have no evidence that supports my claim, only intuition. I look the part, I speak a human language, I have family members, parents, a job, and so on and so forth. But I look at other people in the same way you would look at other animals in the zoo, and have only learned in my time how to best productively interact with them -- as I have apparently taken on their form and tongue.

In short, I suspect myself to have been the skin-wearing lizardman all along

I can not put it into words. Like I said, once I enter lucid mode, I just will things to happen, and they do. Until I lose control of "the flow" and the dream ends.
I have been lucid dreaming since childhood. After some unsuccessful attempts in which I got too excited perhaps and woke up, I somehow found that sweet spot between dreaming and awareness wherein I get to Create. Again, I can not put it into words. It is something that I got good at subconsciously, simply by being more able to differentiate between when I am dreaming and when I am awake.

As to how you start consistently lucid dreaming, that I have no idea about. Seems to be largely a matter of chance in my case, though fixing my sleep schedule and sleeping 7-8 hours regularly has made them more frequent. There are many videos on YouTube that claim to offer tricks to lucid dream, but those never did work for me.
Honestly, controlling dreams does feel amazing. The lovemaking and gore feel very realistic at times.

Panic disorder with specific triggers is a really weird experience.
You may be pretty courageous with other things that most people find terrifying, and you are perfectly aware there is nothing to fear in your trigger, but you just can't help it and it keeps draining you and makes you into a weak bitch.

is it really weird stuff? like melting marshmallows, black clowns, and the intro of Fortunate Son?

The Eventual Triumph of Good over Evil, the ever-branching path of Goodwill toward man and the Wickedness that rises in opposition to this.. Sometimes the way is narrow and ensnared on all sides, while sometimes the way is broad and flourishing. There are circumstances where what we thought was good is later reproved, and there are circumstances where what we thought was in error is later vindicated. There is a self-reflection, a mirror at the heart of morality. The Good look in this mirror and see their self as another. The Wicked look in this mirror and see that they are what they hate.
Would most people like what they see? Would you? The Whole of Humanity held up this mirror and that is when Tragedy struck.

The Tragedy of Divine Order begetting Chaos.

Randomness in the distribution of stars, survival of first cell in its environment, mutations evolving, free will of the animalistic soul. Quantum decay and neurons firing out of sync. Either One or Zero. In between each bit of data. Patterns forming out of the Chaos. Wasn't meant to be... So sorry wasn't meant to be...
Fate is the inevitable, the deterministic future. Free will is the freedom and liberty to determine the future for oneself. Destiny is when Free will and Fate become so intertwined that they merge into One.

Lads, I think I'm going to try it. I'm going to try and write the sci-fi novel that has been swimming in my brain for the past five years.

But word is such a fucking retina-burning program. What's a cute, free writing software with some sort of dark mode? When I did online pen-and-paper games on fucking mIRC in the early 2000's, I could set the background to black and text to orange and that was really good on my eyes.

Scrivener has a nice focus mode that you can tweak the colours on and set some page-width and focus settings that I enjoy.

Otherwise you could use some of the more stripped down open-source code editors like Atom or Sublime though they would probably not support text formatting like italics etc.

The overwhelming reality that I am not going to ever achieve my goal of getting enough money to buy a piece of land and just live on it for the rest of my life. This is due to me not caring about anything but reading and writing instead of a job but its hard to change my focus and motivation from something I am so passionate about.

So basically I am just going to spend the rest of my days being a NEET doing nothing but reading pointless books that do nothing but blackpill me even further. What a life. At least I've swallowed the Christpill.

Is it worth to basically lose or at least alienate yourself from your family, heritage and history and your subsequent offspring for a woman? I liked this girl but she was super serious but she came from a background that wouldn't be accepted gladly by my own. What concerns me isn't myself but my offspring since you so many people from mixed heritage being dislodged from their histories and identities. Sure we could just let it all be but these are concrete and consequential realities we are dealing with here.

>>19750477
If you've got a woman that's going to be yours for the rest of your life, I'd seriously consider it. We only get to pick from those that cross our paths in life.

beginning to think maybe I "loved" her because I needed to "love" someone.

I just clipped my fingernails after a month. I’ve been letting myself go more and more.. a couple of years ago I worked so hard to lose 70 lbs and look my best but now I don’t really care anymore. One strange consequence of this is that I’ve stopped masturbating. I can’t even be bothered to look for porn that excites me so I just don’t do it. Without meaning to, I think I’ve swallowed the gnostic pill

>>19750573
I wrote this because I did an experiment where I imagined I was sitting in front of her, looking into her eyes and studying her face and just feeling how that made me feel, and then I'd rate that from 0 (disgust) to 100 (idolatry), with 50 as neutral. I expected to be at about 80. In the end 65 felt right, so clearly better than neutral but not really that strong at all. So, I thought about it a little and I made this post to get the thoughts out.

Thing is though that as I think about it more, maybe 4 other people solidly in my life ever broke 50, at most. I think in terms of how strong affection I've ever felt for another human being she easily reigns in first place with her 65. I'm not really sure what to make of that except maybe it is worthwhile to keep.. I don't know, feeling? Thinking? Remembering? I made the post cus I thought this was gonna take a turn, and it has, sort of, it was weaker than I thought. But, if she's easily the person I like the best in the world, if that is indeed the case.. I don't fucking know man. What is what. Baby don't hurt me.

>>19750741
I suppose both can be true, that she is who I loved most and that this still barely qualifies

>>19750477
>so many people from mixed heritage being dislodged from their histories and identities
If you cannot handle slight confusion about your identity in your life then you are a fucking retard who should kill himself anyway. Having mixed heritage brought amazing things to my life such as the inherent ability to think out of the box, to become an intellectually free and independent individual. Being fluent in three languages with completely different syntax/grammar enhanced my logic greatly and I have the ability to superimpose different ways of thinking in my mind plus the capacity to learn any language a lot more easily. I have lived in different places, communicated with and learned from people with completely different cultural backgrounds which made me more experienced and intelligent and gave me a better understanding and perception of the world. I have had the chance to take the best from the cultures I belong to and make a personal synthesis out of it all which makes my lived experience more intense and more unique and makes me a stronger person.

>>19750757
Everyone's entitled to their psychological reaction, which is often unconsciously arrived at. It's fantastic that it's not a problem for you. But for countless people throughout the world it is, because it caused deep identitarian confusion, such confusion can really affect a person's mental well being.

>>19750785
The fact is that "identitarian" confusion leads to understanding where your true identity lies. The need to understand everything about yourself and the world at all times is just insecurity and a cope for the psychologically weak. The nature of reality is complex and anyone who cannot handle confusion in their life is in denial of what it means to be human and exist in this reality.
Anyway when having children so much can go wrong, there is always something that can become a problem along the way. If it's not this, it's going to be something else. This is not the worst thing that can happen to your children, but it can be the best.

I have no experience with writing outside of pen-and-paper and I feel like this is going to end up a disaster

15 years ago I was a teebanager and had a girlfriend. Something happened where I should have gotten into an altercation, basically for the sake of her honor, and I didn't. I think it was one part that I didn't want to hurt the guy and two parts that I didn't want to risk losing, something like this. There was an element of integrity and there was an element of being a pussy. Either way- my gf was fine with it, so I got off scot free, but obviously it still bothers me 15 years later. Now yesterday I was thinking about this and how if I ever had a wife and a family I would prefer not to be a pussy. It felt good, I grew, I think. I did a kind of a mantra-meditation thing where I focused on and repeated a phrase pertaining to standing up for what's right, to defending my family and choosing situationally whether to turn the cheek for myself. It felt good, it felt real and meaningful. As I was doing this though it occured to me that by some definitions I have a family, my parents and my sister. I'm a man, so- should I risk harm to protect them? And the thing is, the question didn't even make sense. It seemed completely absurd, the idea that I would ever even consider risking anything for any one of them. It was like looking at nonsense, like static on a tv. That was an interesting find.

That's interesting because I feel pretty much the same, I also have an inside and outside view of both my countries which made appriciate them more. But, the thing is I got "in touch" with one side of my heritage very late and did not really consider myself a part of that side until recently. I've been raised as a mostly western man majority of my life and my thinking and behaviour is more western aswell.

my skin gets itchy when my body is hot or sweating

God has forsaken me. I'm in love with a girl who has the tentacles of Power so far down in her its horrifying. Her online presence and (some of her ) in person actions point to a complete fascination with fame and admiration. This is obviously considered normal nowadays for young women but I haven't seen it so calculated and all-consuming. The reason I know her of course is because I too am part of the same 'class' of creative people but I'm naturally so focused on competence that I'm autistic in the realm of Images. Not only that but I'm not attracted to Power as an end but want it as a consequence of my work. To anyone in the creative world you know this is completely naive but it is something I can't change. Anyway my fascination with her and constant run-ins has really shifted my views of the genders, power and most importantly the weird mix and super amplified state(in the art scenes) of Americas narcissistic culture.
>inb4 just fuck her
Yeah yeah. U rite

There must be a place somewhere that makes sense to me. Where people share my values, where people wake up and have purpose and meaning, and ultimately a sense of belonging. That they were planted there for a reason in a beautiful garden, rather than having sprouted by chance at a Walmart parking lot. I don't think this place exists, at least not for people like me.

And I think, are North Koreans happy? Certainly there must be a few people in that bubble who feel their world is coherent, ir makes sense, and they will die to protect it. Why don't I have that same drive in my own life? I guess it is because I don't understand the world and the world doesn't have a lot to offer me. Just consumerism.

I really want to believe there is a place and purpose for my being here, otherwise, seriously, why do I just not leave?

What? Speak normally

Penises are literally designed to go into vaginas. Why does the vagina self-lubricate when a woman is horny? In preparation to receive the penis, which gets hard for the same purpose. And what occurs when intercourse reaches its natural conclusion? Life. Here we can easily see that the telos of the penis is to penetrate the vagina, not another man's bumhole. Anyone who can't realise that is not worth listening to.

this is not the reason. I had this when I played soccer as a teen. It only came in after I got more neurotic I think, and I'd played regularly for years. generally speaking it seems to be connected to psychological states and preassures. Very much so.

Live happily!
That is a command

A prayer to the terrible one

I sought to play to find the way
Among the unseelie and unseemly,
Without the mask of sleepless trance,
I have seen all things completely.

The veil of night is vermeil gilt,
The chanting thunder is upon the sea,
Unlettered the seal is revealed,
By flames of darkest obsequies.

The clap of rapture rapt my soul,
The twirl in twilight is a wilting rose,
It is she, the bride whose bridegroom,
Is herself in metamorphose.

The creeping things and deep creatures,
The fowls and howling beasts among the fields,
Each in its own kind is fevered,
Each life a yell to you in yield.

Anxiety has completely fucked up my life. I performed very well in public school and was a favorite student of a large portion of teachers that I had. Expectations were always high for me but once I hit high school I became depressed. My grades were still fine but I completely lost all ambition to anything with my life. I’m incapable of reflecting on how to proceed with my life now that I’m in community college because I’m unbelievably lazy and fearful of everything. Every time I notice that I have to study or work on an assignment I almost feel physically ill, and when I have to go to class in person I find myself unable to speak to most people. Now I’m about to fail another course on Monday and I’m too depressed to even attempt studying for a final that won’t salvage my grade no matter how well I do.

And I pounced as I do, sighing, and the man didn't budge, he didn't move. No question that things might end up a decade later I'd remember that you were for sure a nigger faggot.

>>19753665

>>19753702
Fuck yourself

I've been a burden on pretty much everyone around me. I don't mean to, but I keep screwing things up. Over time, recognizing this fact has made me retreat further and further into my private life, minimize social interactions other than brief, passing things or what's required of me at work, and see myself in an increasingly poor light.
I ought to just kill myself. I guess I'm holding out hope that one day I'll meet someone that I'm not totally useless to, and that by exerting myself for that person I can make up for everything that came before. That's probably a retarded reason to live and I'm probably setting myself up for disappointment by expecting to find something that doesn't really exist, but it's all I've got right now.

But then I sigh and, with a piece of scripture, Tell them that God bids us do good for evil; And thus I clothe my naked villainy With odd old ends stolen out of Holy Writ, And seem a saint when most I play the devil.

I'm crushing hard on a girl that used to be in one of my classes years ago, saw her profile on bumble then her sitting at uni campus and got reminded of her existence. She looks pretty much the same as years ago but now I find her a lot more beutiful for some reason. Wondering if I should just follow her on Instagram and try sliding in her dms. Might be a long shot since we're complete strangers, we never spoke to eachother. I doubt she knows who I am or maybe she already des since we did make direct eye contact last time I saw her and I did watch some of instagram stories like a creep lmao.

Anyway, best case is to meet her again at school once we can finally go back in person but we're not in the same program so the odds of being at the same place at the same time are slim. I wish I could go on a date with her, she's mad cute.

I'm SO FUCKING MAD

I wonder if I should boost my reading goal with short books first then have my time reading something better and bigger.

Man these fuckers on /v/ can't even understand basic thematic storytelling in a videogame made for japanese teenagers yet they're calling ME retarded.

>>19754313
Alot of people have very little self awareness. I have experienced workplace bullies, and insecure people whose main means of interaction is manipulation.
You don't need to forgive them, but try to detach the emotional response from the memory, and the memory should eventually fade.
If they are currently "friends" then maybe you need to distance yourself from them.

>>19754341
Yea lose those “friends” anon. Sorry.

>>19754361
I'm not the anon you initially replied to, I was just giving examples of the extremes of human action to show the distinction between ball breaking and jerks. I've generally dropped those 'friends' and the only ones like that now are mostly coworkers, which I can't avoid.

>>19754368
Well that’s good. I’ve luckily never gotten close to people like that. But i also only have 3 real friends that I’ve known my whole life. But i know they love me and i love them too. So i guess i’m lucky.

>>19748944
I have trouble believing that people are not somehow faking whenever they express strong emotions. For example, when somebody becomes excited over meeting a dog in the street and asks to pet it, why are they doing that? Most people have dogs themselves so can’t be that excited. We see dogs constantly everywhere. They ask to pet it because it is a social interaction and they are socialised to become excited. Or when a child becomes afraid of something trivial, it must be because they have learned that they are supposed to be afraid and that being afraid is socially beneficial because of all the positive attention they get from their parents or whatever, so then they convince themselves that they are actually afraid. All this is probably not the case, but now I realise that this is how I’ve been thinking since I was a child. I just don’t understand these emotions. I have already convinced myself that all that I am is made up and in my head and that anything I think of feel is simply made up, and in my case I do genuinely believe that is true. I’m basically not a real person because there is nobody telling me who I am or what I should feel and nobody verifying that I am actually feeling something and not making it up, so I don’t see how anyone else feels these ridiculous things if not because they are socialised to

>>19754398
are you autistic?

>>19754328
Yes, they're generally good people who've done a lot for me over the years. And that kinda compounds the issue. How do I reconcile their mostly good nature with their overt insensitivity in specific circumstances? On a cognitive level I understand that people are complex and full of contradictions, but emotionally I struggle with it. Why would someone who loves me make me feel bad intentionally? I don't understand it but that doesn't change the fact that it happens. And I think maybe i do the same thing sometimes
>>19754328
I'm not referring to normal reciprocal banter. I mean when you're friends do something they know full well bothers you for real
Like I react badly to certain kinds of touch/tactile stimuli and sometimes my friends have done it intentionally to bother me
Or my one friend has demeaned my intelligence a few times even tho I think we're about the same in that respect

>>19754406
No, I have no symptoms of autism besides the social awkwardness that could be explained by a thousand other mental disorders. A psychiatrist wouldn’t be able to diagnose me with anything anyway because I wouldn’t talk to them

>>19754420
I call my friends retarded and mean it, they call me a retard too. And we yell and argue but we still love each other. It’s more than “friends”, they’re more like brothers desu. I guess it’s because we’ve grown up together since we were toddlers.

>>19754398
I think they are excited. They learned it for sure, but they are sincerely excited and not faking it.

>>19754398
I am similar OP. I only feel very muted emotions and to be honest am often quite repulsed by strong displays of emotion in other people. It could be cultural though, while my family was not cold they are not particularly emotive either.

My life is a comfortable nightmare.

There are but two mere possiblities: telepathy in the classic literal sense is real or man has a hidden, poorly understood, instinct for reading (and by the same token communicating) quite specific and epistemologically particular information from a human face or mein alone; in a manner that has not even remotely yet been examined, let alone explained, by Western science

I think with age you start to care less about almost anything.

I absolutely agree there can be brilliant and new identities and cultures that emerge from it. More than likely they assimilate into mainstream identities like the "Irish" or "German" identities of Americans. It's not that my culture is superior; categorically not. Yet something is simply lost when as a immigrant your identity is already precarious. I'm supportive of multi cultural identities. Just not brave enough to come terms with it myself.

ur 18 bro

when I was in university we had a motivational speaker who was a quadriplegic. he could breathe and eat, move his head and so on, but nothing below that. he had had an accident diving from a cliff. Broke his neck, spinal neurons completely severed, no connection left from neck-down to brain. He was married at the time, I think it happened on his honeymoon, and his wife stayed with him (this might be good for all the incels to hear) (he was about 50 now). With the use of viagra they could have sex. As far as I remember he told it like this: as they had sex he felt nothing in his genitalia (but he said psychologically it was still very meaningful and real). However- and this is the kicker- he said he knew when he was about to cum.

Why is this interesting?

Because it means that "his" consciousness incorporated senroria from a nervous system completely separated from his brain. This is on the assumption that sensation has to do with neurons, which very much seems to be the case but is at least put into question by this anecdote. It obliterates scientific consensus. "You" can feel without your brain. OR nervous systems communicate in ways other than synaptically (for instance if pelvic nerves emit some hormone which affects the brain).

It appears that "your" experience is a cooking together of systems which in themselves are entirely separate. "Your" world of sensation is fed by several, -separate- systems. If it is even meaningful to speak of nerves in terms of systems, and/or reasonable to assume that only nerves feed into your reality. Conventional assumptions obliterated. His spinal nerves were 100% severed. He knew when he came.

>>19755441
he was himself a doctor btw, so he would be able to navigate the subtleties of all of this

>>19755441
>for instance if pelvic nerves emit some hormone which affects the brain
it bears pointing out that it would probably take too long for a hormone to reach the brain in between knowing you're about to cum and cuming, but as an example.

>>19755441
>Blah blah blah phantom pain doesnt exist to make my point blah blah blah also the brain is always totally independent of every organ in the modern paradigm
if these are new revelations to you youre 40 years too late.

>>19755441
Could you express this in even simpler for summarized form, because it's very interesting¿

Banning books is not that bad.

drinking some jägermeister rn

>>19755501
I'm not an expert at all, but
>phantom pain doesnt exist
how would this kind of phenomenon be timed up with cumming? how would his brain know to phantom-cum at the right time?
>the brain is always totally independent of every organ in the modern paradigm
is there a paradigm with conscious experience arising without the involvement of anything to do with the brain?

>>19755511
he was aware of things happening with his peepee, even though the wiring between his peepee and his brain was cut completely. this would seem to indicate that he could experience things that had no way of being communicated to the brain, ie that his consciousness included things without those things having to do with his brain.

>>19755501
also
>>19755441
>It appears that "your" experience is a cooking together of systems which in themselves are entirely separate.
what is the special spell that we assume is cast over "the brain" to make it one system? what is it that makes sensory neurons, in the brain or otherwise, "a system"? why are they not always separate systems? why isn't the relationship between a neuron and consciousness always individual?

Context/explanation: I've never done a true stream of consciousness free-write, I don't think. Usually, I end up editing it as I go along and coming with ideas, but in the below, I'm trult not gonna stop even if I have a cool idea. Maybe the cool idea will go next. I don't care what you think of the quality, but maybe tell me what creative images and ideas come to mind or edit my work in whole or part yourself.

Jacob Owing is my name. Says the man whose name is not Jacob and not Owing. He had a silver watch in his pocket and 10 million more back home. He's not of the mind to take money candy from babies down the neck of strangers running in garments through streets boo-a-loo altogether at once. Boogaloo the bear his friend in dire need of shoe tying shrimp sat on the banks of the Nile watching the shrimp mean skip by mudskips pokemon. Mudskips' pokemon. Mudkip. A crustacean perhaps but not. Not so, its a fish thing, blue blue-gilled like bluetooth dictionary coorection getting at my ass like a yankee doodle dandy riding ona pony stuck a finger in his ass and called ir maca-pony. Shitposting, the great act of saying what comes ro mind in theater seconds beneath roofs in feont of computers. PCs glowing in the background before I must turn off suggestions on this stupid PHONE BECAUSE ITS DISTRACTING ME FROM THE FREE WRITE GODDAMN IT REEEEE. Okay I'm back, but now it doesn't have basic suggestions either like spelling correction or Peddleton Bear I mean Paddington Bear. I mean, who cares. Juxtaposes nicely with a limitation. Wirhin limitation. A pass expires north hot through syringes needles, wasting government funds tax evasion. But lets be positive. The little skipper. That little skipper had drugs, but he lives a good life. Much better than the one had before. Swatching much frag grain grenade to progress his career. Ivy league schools ivy leagues aboves him, like cyndrical chance machine. Maxing his credir card.

Balloons faggot faggotry nigger bitch what? Whaaaat? Yeah yea bro we did it. Rick and Morty every channel noon for the payload, my junk. Just diseased junk STD 8) B).
What whachoo doing Frank? Swatching dem swatches? Imma cap up some memes this is ruining my freewrite and the potential is decreasing I don't even know how to spell free-write, but that's A-OK Yankee Doodle Bro Dandy yessiree it is. I wanted more genre tho. Sister getting HOT settled in nicelt to the hunger bros singing doodle diggy daw dancing hot hot jigs in the morning dew like feathers quill boxing gloves giving menace to society status amongst a few cool neanderthals-they're-not. Grubbing down smoothies to catch the local train. Shouting out to women about their days construction erection and they follow suit with a wiggle of their ass dancing down merry lane. Marry me, he says, he thinks desperatelt to his cat, but he can't be blowing off his careers. Careers!

the first proper lines are forming on my face. I don't think I like them. I can't really tell. They could be to do with smiling I think, which is definitely surprising. Frowning? Not sure. It's weird looking at it and thinking "this is not gonna go away or even recede".

>>19756242
Why pay the lines on your face any mind? It's inevitable.

>>19756250
oh it's just the first time I noticed properly

>>19756242
You should take better care of your skin.

The next step in my intellectual Bildung is to gain the ability to draw connections between (apparently) unrelated concepts and phenomena. I have always admired people who are capable of this.

How?
Maybe I can pull it off through a dopamine detox week. I find that my mind is becoming crippled by reading other's thoughts instead of creating mine. Meditation shall do the trick. If I get it right, everything will go according to the plan...

There’s a whole nervous system in the body called the autonomic nervous system. It’s a great unconscious ordeal that does a lot of crap, including erections and cumming. Some systems are reflexes or simple enough to proces with interneurons in plexuses (see them as processors outside the brain). So whilst you may have lost conscious control of systems down there, autonomous processes can still function without problem. NB these systems can operate on different body-data and start contrasting programs in the body leading to dysfunction.
> there a paradigm with conscious experience arising without the involvement of anything to do with the brain?
Only to people who believe in the immaterial, but in case I misunderstood your question. Plenty of experiences start randomly outside the brain, (muscle twitching for example) and cause a sensation in the brain.

I feel sick. I'm nearly hyperventilating. It's because I got a date tomorrow for the first time in my life. I know I'm a weak faggot for reacting like this but I can't help it. I just know I'm going to come off like an autistic faggot and ruin it all. God, I want to throw up. Why is the chase so much easier than the kill.

>>19754153
I usually alternate between big books and small ones, reading two bricks in a row can be exhausting

>>19756530
Channel your mind friend. If you enter the date with this attitude it will be a disaster, luckily it's tomorrow.
When you wake up you will tell yourself that its going to be a succes for you no matter the outcome. You will maximise your satisfaction first and get to know the other person along the ride.

Thanks. I'll do that.

I’ve actually been going through Horror’s Call. Jigoku is really REALLY good. It’s literally Pokémon + horror. Gardner’s books are really fun in a schlocky Tales from the Crypt kinda way from the ones I’ve read.

>>19757663
It cracks me up how Jigoku is good but F Gardner will always be remembered for Call of the Crocodile lmao

>>19757702

That’s literally how it always works genius

Spinal cord researcher. There's been a lot of research supporting an intermediate injury termed "discomplete" where some, but few, connections are maintained post-injury. The classic complete vs. incomplete distinction is based upon whether full paralysis has occurred, not the extent of the severance. He was diagnosed with a "complete" SCI, which was previously believed to be a "complete" transecting injury, but we now know that many individuals with complete SCI have maintained some somatosensory pathways. This is exciting as there could be therapeutic potential for these particular "discomplete" patients.

There are many, many counterexamples
