sounds like you're just having some sort of derealization, existential crisis about human culture and our species place in life on earth.

>eally fucking primitive when you try to look at the human race through an objective third person lens.

as in, we seem strange when you pretend you're looking at yourself and others through a lens outside yourself

>>11204291
why does it have to be a crisis? On the one hand we ought to accept what we are. On the other hand, we don't, we're not built to. If one just accepted it then one wouldn't be working toward an ideal, nothing would get better and no one would change.
Life is boring and really exciting. It's sad and great. We live on this blurry line and we're always falling into chaos. It's always a crisis and never!? If OP is derealized then what is realized?

>I'm sure you've seen the copypastas regarding our ability for self-regeneration.
No. Don't see anything in /sci/ archives for self-regeneration like you're describing here.

>>11204309

thats pretty creepy tbqh.

I once looked at my face in the mirror and tried to look at it from a viewpoint not that of a humans. It was weird because you start wondering why anything is shaped the way it is, noses and ears especially. Hair in peculiar places, differing colors of skin, why are they there? Eyes can be especially freaky when you imagine them as slimy globes sliding around. We're so used to human features but imagine how weird we would look to another intelligent species.

We're pretty much the only thing that sweats, that, our brains, and opposable thumbs as well as not having to use our hands to walk so we can hold Spears is probably why were so based

its nice that people behave predictably though. if we couldn't establish behavioral norms then we couldn't have market economies or form the social structures that have benefited us greatly.

>We're so used to human features but imagine how weird we would look to another intelligent species.
Try ketamine or DXM. Dissociative drugs suspend a lot of the higher thinking processes and leaves you taking in sensations like sights and sounds without having the normal context / familiarity baggage present so it just seems like a bunch of chaotic geometric alien nonsense. It's neat because the effect is being mediated by that loss of baggage in expectations and how you're primed to interpret things rather than through a direct warping of sights or sounds. So you're still looking at things as they are, but your context isn't there and it seems like a completely different experience.

>>11204287
I for one prefer rats to cats. Rats are cute, intelligent and silent. Cats are somewhat annoying, their piss stink, leave hair anywhere, have a parasite that makes you addicted to them, etc (although their owners tend to be even more annoying).

As for weirdness, imo all species are weird their own way. Just imagine all the shit that night had existed millions of years ago but whose genetic material has been unfortunately lost over time.

>>11205479

>We're pretty much the only thing that sweats

Wrong. Herbivorous animals sweat.

>>11205565

works with shrooms too and DMT is probably the most extreme form of this experience.

Why would being more closely related to somebody mean you should like them more? Sure I like cats more than rats, but I also like cats more than my brother

>>11205565
>>11205699

i kinda get what you're saying better now, with LSD and shrooms people tend to give context to the sights they see but i think if you're more experienced and have a tendency to dissociate even without drugs you can experience what you're describing on LSD and shrooms too, especially at higher doses.

I get really high and stare at myself in the mirror sometimes and think holy fuck I really am an albino hairless monkey ape

I get this on weed.
I completely dissociate context from images and see them as they really are. It was freaky the first time it happened, nearly gave me a panic attack, but over time I learned to love that feeling and I can do it now without any drugs at all.

The absolute best thing is watching history documentaries. Instead of seeing grainy black and white images, it's like my brain filters the noise and I can see these things happening as they would have appeared to someone who was really there. Its fucking wild and has completely changed my world view.

Another noticable effect it had on me is I can look at a person and immediately tell what they would look like as the opposite gender. It has become really easy for me to "filter" gender dimorpism in the same way I can filter noise from a historical video clip.

kek, OP swallowed the red pill instead of cocks.

What were your thoughts before? We're literally, unambiguously what you described.
Example of how we view other humans as pest are Abbos. Or slaves. We're slightly above being primates because in theory we could accept other cultures and let them live, but we're too insecure to do so.

I used to bare my teeth in the mirror and stare as I made faces, eventually I could interpolate my skull inside of my face by viewing my jaw moving and it freaked me out. I can't look at bared teeth for long without seeing a skeleton.

>>11205681
Those are cute critters you posted. I agree with your view on rats. One thing that is eerie to me is looking into the eyes of another creature, recognizing you both are aware of the others existence, it gives me shiver down my spine to look deeply into the eyes of another, animal or human.

Nothing will make you realize people are just animals faster than a customer service job

>>11204287
Doesn't everyone think this? I have daily since forever, I think it's more common than you think have you never heard of someone referred to themselves as just a dumb monkey or w.e? I do it a lot.

Convert to Judaism and marry an Ashkenazi, your children might get there.

There's a colony of rats in my parents' garden and they can't find the resolve to kill them.

I think about it all the time. Based post. Loved the Cheetah Monkey bit. Accurate.

>>11205437

Yep. A human head is just a sensory bulb. The senses are only on the head to be closer to the brain and allow faster processing

>>11205437
The ability to see ugliness is universal, not exclusive to humans. That might've been your problem trying to see yourself in another animals perspective, remember you're still ugly.

>>11204287
t. Babbies first existential crisis (Funfact, people don't get these as often if they're religious)

You're also ignoring the fact that everyone objectively has free will. You should be terrified of the fact that around 25% of people have no inner monologue and are the equivalent of automatons.

>so I could see what we look like to the other species

They view us as having feline features
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLb9EIiSyG8

You know how our brains automatically find faces? Every single animal's brain is wired to find those same anatomical features in everything else.

>>11205022
Holy shit you're stupid. Working towards an ideal has to do with our situation on earth and the amount of suffering and destruction we create as a result of our existence. The Greeks already conquered the idea of humans being animals, get over yourself cuck. Besides, it's irrelevant anyway, since we were created in the Divine Image of god, and have mastery over all other animals.

Existential crisis' usually happen in your teens as a result of coming of age. Modern society has turned people into 20+ year old juveniles with arrested development so now we're getting a bunch of manchildren shit-posting on 4chan thinking they're making some insane revelation to something that should have naturally occurred when they were 13 or 14.

I started down a bunch of anthropological rabbitholes and now Reptoids terrify the ever-living fuck out of me. I've sure you've seen the copypastas regarding our ability for self-regeneration.

We tell jokes about how we're reptiles all the time, but have you ever stopped to REALLY think about that for a second? It's implications? We're more closely related to Turtles than we are to Snakes, yet we are incapable of identifying with them and view them as pests. I can't help but look at other Reptoids as wild animals now, just as much a slave to their whims as any other animal, cognizant that I'm in the same position and behave just as predictably.

Even our physiology is super fucked up! We're some of the creepiest looking reptiles, scale-less, lanky creatures built with no tails that can detach for a quick escape. We're basically just lizard monkeys, which is about as horrifying a concept as I can imagine. I think the only reason we aren't actively more freaked out by our place in the animal kingdom is because we've been subconsciously trained by the neural pathways in our brain to see ourselves differently from the rest of the world. Part of me wishes I wasn't Reptoid only for a moment so I could see what we look like to other species. Even reptiles in general freak me out a little due too the uncanny valley of how similar they are to us. Our culture, our consciousness, our wars, our base desires to eat human young, our art, it all seems really fucking primitive when you try to look at the Reptoid race through an objective third person lens.

Has anyone else deal with this sort of strange misreptoidery? Also, general weird anthreptoidery thread

Seeing faces without the added baggage is basically having prosopagnosia (face blindness). They see faces the same way other people see non-face shapes. Despite the name they aren't seeing blanks when they look at faces or anything like that. It's more just like they're viewing faces like you would view some abstract art sculpture made up of geometric shapes that didn't really signify anything to you. These people can successfully identify other people they know sometimes by remembering the person has a certain kind of detail on their face like a couple edges running in a distinct way or something. So they get visual data still. It just means nothing special to them.
