xtrapol8··on How Many Visionary Artists Are Mentally Ill?
You’re quite right there are lower and lower levels of cognition, far below the soft mailable conscious awareness.

These can be gotten at and programmed through will, yet still full of mystery.

xtrapol8··on How Many Visionary Artists Are Mentally Ill?
I have fully mastered spatial visual projection. I was always imaginative, yet now it is as though a physical object is present in the “third eye”. These others do interesting things like sepia storyboards (show you a short visual skit). Other things which are actually amazing yet difficult to describe.

The darklings (my cute phraseology) try to hurt me at every opportunity. I experience “scitzophrinic city” everywhere I go, that’s where others talk about my thoughts (not knowing themselves where the words come from or relate to.) Many pretend to talk on their cell phones to have conversations with their voices (I don’t think the thought controlled are “allowed” to internally dialogue.)

I can see how someone less developed would flip out. I get territorial if I suspect danger (I’m a pretty tough guy.)

Look at the back of your local free news rags, how many advertisements for mental health are directed at young women. Vulnerable people have it much worse.

I didn’t hear “the voices” until after I was 30, though after over a decade I could look back and notice they were there all along (little clues that added up.) Not the same ones in character or identity mind you, they come and go, yet their network coverage may give the illusion they are one.

To share what I have learned of consciousness relating to what you’ve said…

Most are locked into a singular first person perspective like a flatlander. Every neuron in the mind, and the clusters in which they are arranged are individual units of consciousness that work together to form a whole. These are always operating, yet only one dominant region at a time (without development). This region varies throughout the day, or by kind of task (driving or working or watching tv for instance engaged different faculties.) Individual regions raffle up into the singular perspective most everyone else is familiar with.

These regions aren’t like individual selves, their thoughts and processes are more primitive and don’t really make coherent sense alone.

I can force my mind to use whichever part I wish through determined effort, yet when I do, I become sort of dumb in subtle things until that part wires itself to be more competent. Concentrate effort in the forward lobe for instance, or the back of the mind. It takes practice and time (days or weeks for slight improvements, not moments. Years for mastery.)

Anyone who has forced themselves through specialized training can tell you the beginning is arduous and it isn’t until much later that gains begin to multiply and finally things once impossible become first nature and look effortless. Everything of the mind is like this.

Advanced thought control can hobble the mind, cause spinning thoughts, direct attention, even manipulate sexuality (a game for them.) I’m stubborn and like confrontation, so I think my experiences are different than others who struggle and adapt to what they think “nature” is telling them.

The qubit is a dead end. Quantum holography will reveal there is much more information capacity in the quantum domain than spin disposition.

“Mentally ill”?

Check my last few threads, discussing the voices in our heads are actually disembodied others and we are not alone in our own minds.

This denial is dangerous and must end.

xtrapol8··on Sabine Hossenfelder – This is why physics is dying [video]
Could you cite examples of these claims? For the purpose of distinguishing good role models. I’m not an academic, though the topics I have followed have been informative and interesting.
xtrapol8··on Sabine Hossenfelder – This is why physics is dying [video]
I often feel the way Sabine looks and sounds in this video.

It is actually uncanny how many topics Sabine touches upon in such an unreserved and brilliant way.

She is a model for modern intellectual thought. I hope she is protected and preserved from the easily upset mob of conventionalists who rather we were all agreeable.

xtrapol8··on Why Is Anything Conscious?
I’m shocked you elude to animals not having consciousness. I would say all life, even bacteria and ameba have consciousness, it is rather a matter of scale and biotechnology.

Perhaps you confuse our capacity for consciousness with our biotechnology?

Sabine Hossenfelder can solve our math problem!

Isn’t she working on an app?

xtrapol8··on If You Meet ET in Space, Kill Him
Hello, I am an ascendant being. I believe in moral and lawful violence. I have great sex, like pissing people off, and turn psychotic when bullied or coerced.

What do you think an ascendant being is?

Ascension is to be the fullest self. Ascendency is to go beyond the self. Not all ascendant beings are honest, moral or lawful (I am, honest to a fault.)

It is reprehensible to think you should try killing strangers because you cannot communicate with them. (Consider if I advocated killing you for speaking so foolishly.)

See them as your equals and negotiate for territory like everything else.

They are other humans who have conditioned themselves through decades of specialized training.

There is a ruling class among us who themselves are slaves of this power.

For every six oblivious people there may be one naturally sensitive. For every 1,000 of these there may be one indoctrinated into “thought control”. For every 1,000 of these there may be one who has developed the ability to control aspects of their mind ordinary folk think only fictionally possible (throwing their voice, or manipulating perception of others in similar ways.) For every thousand of these one can “network” on their own. For every thousand of these one is a master of human conception (can induce psychosis or manipulate sexuality or control “synchronicity”). For every thousand of these one is as a god among the rest.

This “Power” (capacity to affect consciousness through continuity of will) rarely exists in a single actor. They network in the thousands, or even tens of thousands. Those at the top treat the others as thralls. There are a few moral elder lines which are not corrupt and ruthless (sometimes acting like guardian angels) they however are vastly outnumbered.

I want to say what they’ve been up to, though I will be immediately flagged for saying something too grotesque and wild for HN (if this isn’t enough.) let’s just say the corrupt do things to impress each other so their masters will uplift them further in power. These are generations after generations developing each other for shared power.

It took me four years of intense abuse to distinguish my own thoughts from those of third parties. It took me ten years to understand their nature. And that’s because I’m sort of a self made genius (just saying; world traveled, exceptionally well educated, full well adjusted life, etc.) Ordinary folk think they are God (or devils) or aliens, or a government mind control program, or lizard people, you get the idea.

They are people living ordinary lives on the surface, who have compartmentalized secret worlds within (“worlds within worlds”) and these date back throughout history (if you re-examine through the lens of this understanding, without “incredulity.”)

Many think there is “mind control technology.” We are the technology.

xtrapol8··on Ask HN: Is Free Will an Illusion?
Well, these topics are useful mind fodder. Free will is the ability to be arbitrary as much as to be contrarian.

I am a proponent that consciousness allows a singular resolve from constructive and destructive interference. This may not sound like much, though it is better than “swerving atoms.” My constructive and destructive interference has been shaped by a life of tenacious willfulness and expansive trial and error.

I suppose I would claim preemptive error correction makes my will more free than that of my muddle minded reactionary peers.

Determination of resolve and determinism are two separate uses of the same word, confusing their interdependency.

xtrapol8··on Ask HN: Is Free Will an Illusion?
I would like to drive a nail in the coffin of “deterministic causality” by at least two mechanisms.

- In every scope there is a super scope which may influence in incalculable ways (however well their rules maybe understood.) Even in a model of the whole Universe, the base potential of cosmic background radiation (non-zero vacuum of void) is a non deterministic influence.

- ultimately radiological decay may not be predicted (a feedback mechanism of unpredictable external scopes)

There is more to consider yet these alone are enough for all physicists to agree that universal determinism is not actually possible.

Decay and the exogenous scope.

Everything in the universe fails eventually, only we may not know which part or when. Everything has an outside influence that cannot be predicted, even if that is how external decay will be involved.

These are NOT the basis of free will, merely an example of how determinism is a dead horse.

Free will is the “determination of resolve in the moment of now.” A different kind of determination than determinism. It is not that will cannot be coerced or manipulated or even anticipated (we are creatures of habit.) it is that the feedback loop in the mind is made of constructive and destructive interference and that may self reflect in unbound scalar ways.

What we think of as determinism is a blessing not a curse. Who wants the Earth to spontaneously turn to jelly? Or marshmallows to suddenly fall from the sky? We cannot function without mostly predictable outcomes.

xtrapol8··on Scientists Identify Brain Signal Disruptions Behind Voices in Schizophrenia
I have a pretty good idea actually, that it is apart of our psycho-spiritual humanity.

Some rare fluke makes a small minority ill who cannot handle it and they go off the rails. Most who hear them are perfectly sane and learn not to externally expose their sensitivity. Approximately one in six of everyone hears them, though they can hide or reveal themselves to anyone.

There has been a secret culture, a secret governance, and a secret war upon us all, probably since the beginning of time. If you look back through human history there have always been accounts, which have been blown off as crazy talk. It is in fact the greatest taboo of our humanity to discuss the voices in our heads. Secret occult societies have always existed in various forms which maintain this silence.

Many today are friends with their voices (I have a large following) however the most powerful are ruthless and demonic and they are responsible for much of the insanity gripping our society.

Modernity however has accelerated this phenomenon (like everything else). If it wasn’t for the corrupt, I would say it was a part of our natural evolution.

Every aspect of the mind may be developed like a technology. Some truly amazing stuff actually.

Keeping this secret does not help anyone.

xtrapol8··on Scientists Identify Brain Signal Disruptions Behind Voices in Schizophrenia
The voices are quite real and we are not alone in our own minds.

I know, it’s like I’m telling you vampires and werewolves are real. And I don’t doubt some people have jumbled mixed signals and chemical imbalances which are confusing.

The voices however are real and we are not alone in our own minds.

xtrapol8··on The AI 'Safety Movement' Is Dead
Good riddance. How can we shift the attention to issues of human competence and self responsibility?
xtrapol8··on Why Is Anything Conscious?
Feedback loop with existential reality.

Consciousness is existential reality animated by life, peering back upon itself.

xtrapol8··on Ask HN: How did you improve your ability to do deep work?
We tend to over estimate how long it takes to form good habits and under estimate how quickly bad habits form.

Try exercise breaks (quick set of reps/stretch) or a game session (get back to work when you realize how much fun you’re having yet BEFORE you are tired of playing.)

xtrapol8··on What to do when your intelligence does not align with your interest?
Rust? Brainfuck? You’re a junior?

Dude, just keep going. It’s like you’re saying you’re bumbed because you’re having trouble getting your jet pack to work and propulsion theory is confusing for you.

See things through, that is the distinguishing characteristic of a competent programmer in the real world.

xtrapol8··on Advancing Space Technology and Preparing to Meet Aliens Through Multilateralism
I subscribe to the idea that “they” are already here, and have been watching us for ten thousand years.

They see all that we are and all that we do. Given such circumstance, what do you think might be made of us, and our pathological lies we tell ourselves of our better nature?

xtrapol8··on Are We Too Impatient to Be Intelligent?
“No man who is in a hurry is quite civilized.” — Will Durant
xtrapol8··on If You Meet ET in Space, Kill Him
It is a determination of will which may make it otherwise.

Savage power is mitigated by a civilizing accord. A righteous rule (lawful behavior) is that civilizing accord.

Extend every right privilege and validation to others as one grants unto themselves (whoever they may be.)

This is how ascendant beings must behave.

xtrapol8··on What to do when your intelligence does not align with your interest?
See “imposter syndrome” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impostor_syndrome

As for brainfuck interpreter, that’s probably too much for you right now. That’s really not a good place to start, unless it’s an assignment.

It sounds like you’re a student/junior level, it’s not all that big of a deal. If you like it and want to make something of your self, keep at it.

There are a lot of kinds of programmers, you just have to figure out what kind you are.

There are also other tech roles that aren’t programming yet will benefit from your insights that you have learned of programming (QA or trouble shooting support for instance, of which knowing how to talk to programmers is important.)

Anyways, under confidence is not unusual, don’t give up too easily!

xtrapol8··on If You Meet ET in Space, Kill Him
How ludicrous. Such irresponsible and reckless ideas are likely why we are not ready for any such contact.

Here are a few things I believe alien intelligence may benefit from knowing about humans:

Humans are meddlesome trivial scamps.

Their thoughts feelings and beliefs are a threat to others.

Man is savage and beastial, and must be dealt with so.
