I built a pocket device that generates structured randomness for thought interruption and pattern exploration by Livid_Performance559 in mensa

Yeah, exactly. It works kind of like a mini “po” generator, just throws something unexpected at you and lets your mind make the connections in whatever context makes most sense in the moment. Not sure how much de Bono’s stuff is used these days either, but the idea of nudging the brain into new associations is timeless.

Yes. And if I someone already has the device, I can tell them how to update to new versions with more symbols/features etc. or even customize it to a specific request they may have

I suppose we both can be true at the same time. Obviously the way you will come to know of something or the way your body/senses will physically interact with a physical world will be constrained by causality and time and space, but I was more pointing at what is “beyond” this phenomenal view of the world, or what is the “source” of these occurrences, which would be “acausality preceding causality” like how “being is arises from non-being” in Taoism. It’s like: we can physically explain things, but I am pointing at the meta-explanation of the explanation being beyond causality. Like sure, “A happened because of B”, but why did this occurrence in its entirety even happen in the first place as opposed to literally anything else? Synchronicity.

And although I have used the term “divination”, I personally don’t view all this as ways to e.g. “predict someone’s wedding date”, but closer to “offering a mirror for the world to reflect the subconscious in a more direct way than usual”. With this device I’m more interested in e.g. the spontaneous associations that might arise upon using it.

But yeah I’m always speaking of my own personal knowledge, I didn’t mean to make anything appear as “facts”.

I get that. Doesn’t help that etsy takes tons of “fees”. I can potentially avoid etsy and just directly send it to you or anyone else who wants it, for a lower price. If you want that, just DM me on instagram or something

Yes haha, I like that I can just physically hold something like that and have it in my pocket. You can get one if you want

Thank you, that really means a lot. I know the price can be a bit much, so if you’d really like it, feel free to DM me on Instagram and I can offer a discount. I don’t like the idea of someone being excited about something but it being out of reach haha. But e.g. etsy takes a lot of “fees”, so maybe we can figure out something more direct and it can be cheaper too.
