@Eruca: you've never seen me in person! :p I look like a goth murdered a clown and stole it's clothes. All theatrics all the time.

@Eruca: I'm definitely going to have to link you to some videos on youtube that explain some of my esoteric BS better than I do. The only one I can think of offhand is done by someone who is also a sideshow freak so... its a bit weighed down in theatrics and tends to read very culty. Also, while his ideas are good, and he is a math guy, he only explains it in non-mathy terms so the whole thing SOUNDS bogus if you don't strip away all the hooplah.
But then again, so do I :vanora_smirk:

@nyreen: It seems to me like you already have the right mind set and tools to tackle this tricky situation. You got this!

@Eruca: Here, let me copy-paste from google a bit.
"The double-slit experiment in quantum mechanics is an experiment devised by physicist Thomas Young. It shows that light has both a wave nature or characteristic and a particle nature or characteristic, and that these natures are inseparable."
"When a quantum "observer" is watching Quantum mechanics states that particles can also behave as waves. ... In other words, when under observation, electrons are being "forced" to behave like particles and not like waves. Thus the mere act of observation affects the experimental findings."
So to me, a self admitted non-sciency person, I see things on the quantum level that have multiple possibilities at once, and the small, passive act of observation forces them to pick a lane... Thats huge. We're influencing the behavior of things by checking to see if it goes one way or another. But thats just an idea I'm "playing with" because I know I don't fully understand it. I've got an actual sciency friend but she's exploding icebergs in Antarctica or something so shes a bit hard to reach.
I also believe that through meditation/gnosis, and a few personalized touches, I can channel my wants into reality. I only believe this because I've practiced it for many years and have seen results. Placebo? I can't say for sure... all I know is it works for me. Of course I only want for simple things, I'm not over here casting hexes on government officials or anything. (I recently did a meditation on financial stability.. within the next three/four days, I got a part time job, I got a job here, I got two private commissions, we got taken out to dinner each night by friends, my husband got about 3 plumbing quotes AND he found ten bucks the day of.)
As for the swapping beliefs thing... its more of a practice of flexibility, so I feel it is quite unlike what most people do. Like you said above, people either cling to or reject old beliefs, which causes religions to fracture. I think every god exists and doesn't exist in equal measure, and every religious tool is only as effective as the person wielding it believes it to be. So, one day I can wake up and be a Bhuddist, I can choose to be pagan for a week, I can be atheist and just focus on mundane things if need be. These shifts can lend me a great deal of perspective, but I mostly like to stay open to everything than choosing one at a time. Except Discordianism... I'm always a Discordian.
I used to be a goth girl who thought a lot of Christians were jerks for no reason.... now I realize they just have a pretty mean god... but Jesus is a really cool dude! Also, maybe Satan did nothing wrong. :vanora_sweat: I just woke up and I have no filter.

@Eruca: I don't know if the internet and I have the same practices, but as a chaote I personally think that to some extent belief and willpower shape reality (look at the double-slit experiment for a practical example of what I'm basing these notions off of) . I like to experiment with different belief systems (religion, philosophy and science), and ultimately take the parts that make the most sense or work for me. It sounds a lot more like I'm one of those "I'll believe anything I see on facebook" types when I spell it out that way... but I do a lot of research on many different subjects and try to suss out the BS from the non... and find a lot of common-ground among various subjects... like religion and science don't usually play well together but these days we're always explaining the unexplained so... moop.

@Eruca: There are a few good videos out there on the subject. As a chaote, I like to play with many ideas and belief systems, but I love when science backs up the "What if's" I've had sense a child... like what if we all perceive things differently? Already this is evident through say... people with color blindness, people who have expirienced hallucinations etc have a much different reality than what we think of as normal. There are people who can see sound and taste color just because they're wired just a bit differently... but I'm getting off-topic!
The thing about even non-threatening AI in a capitalist society is, oops, there goes all the jobs.

BUTBUT, to actually respond to your thoughts in a thoughtful manner... I've entertained the notion of shared 'consciousness' as an explanation of things like survival instincts (and some more esoteric BS I won't get in to..). This information is out there in the universe, separate from us but connected because our brains are designed to pick up that information.
I can't come close to explain it like deep thinkers can... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AB85AFzqtOY
and, supposing that theory has any truth, we've been feeding the collective conscious garbage over cuisine for a long time.

@Eruca: I for one am not into AI because thats how you get skynet. :vanora_yum:
...BUT that reference is also a sign of my age, so take that for what you will.

@Eruca: I don't think humanity is declining, actually. I feel like generations younger than mine both care more about world issues and are actually more willing to do something about it. I think its more a matter of people clinging to old belief systems so hard they don't open themselves up to new ways of thinking. Its easier to follow a formula than to even consider a new experiment.

@Tuijp: I'm actually pretty well-versed in time travel, yes. IF one were to go back in time, I think it would only be possible to go back in your own timeline. BUT yeah I wouldn't change much anyway <3
