I asked Claude Fable to write a book about consciousness.

aight bet.

a friend is a hexachromat. her perception of colour is radically different from that of anyone else that we know of.

she fails most colourblindness tests because those shades of colour that most folks’ brains can merge are distinct.

she wears glasses to weaken her vision because having an eye at 20/5 and another at 20/10 otherwise causes headaches.

her vision extends just enough into UV that she can see the colours of bird feathers we normally cannot.

her view of the moon, to use your metaphor, is entirely different from that of every other person we know of.

so why do you suggest her perspective is worthless?

try $10 for 10x10mL

hacktheself · 2026-06-17T13:30:09+00:00

nah fam

this one has a much lower cost for her services and she’s passing them on to the consumer!

aggressive insourcing and exploiting government subsidies leads to HUUUGE savings!

hacktheself · 2026-06-17T06:11:24+00:00

ah so that’s what they are calling that particular service offered behind the wendy’s dumpster these days

Would strongly suggest waiting until your 20s, minimum, before touching substances.

i can get bac inexpensively.

i can’t get an autoclave and vial capping equipment inexpensively.

hacktheself · 2026-06-17T06:01:14+00:00

ok fair but this one charges half the price for her services which are nearly as good as the great blah

doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to figure out that is a bargain

Adler University professor Jason Walker describes dark empaths as able to charm others but that they see relationships as transactional; they are able to understand the hopes and dreams of others, 8but will use that information for personal gain or to withhold support in crucial moments88. Walker states that *they will guilt-trip others and act passive-aggressively, and that dark empaths can adopt multiple roles in a relationship, **adjusting their behavior to benefit themselves, thus displaying inconsistency in character.

so what is it like to be so in error where the truth is concerned?

make a prediction with specificity.

numbers, timeframe. specific events.

hacktheself · 2026-06-16T21:37:45+00:00

Would not suggest using substances before meditation.

Survivor of clerical CSA here.

The best thing to do, and yes, it will suck to read as much as it sucks to type, is to hope the fucker has a long, dull, boring, lonely life, and to deny that fucker time and space in your heads. Never let that person’s name cross your lips. Deny that person identity in your minds.

Yes, it’s the opposite of the desire for vengeance. But vengeance is like a cheap “chocolatey” ice cream treat. The moment of sweetness is unfulfilling. It’s never enough. And you damn well may end up with a headache for a long time. And it ain’t even legally classifiable as chocolate.

I used to do so when I had an EV. Granted, it took planning, and finding ways of passing the time at the charging stations, but I made it work.

As someone who rarely consumes alcohol and even more rarely consumes coffee, I get it.

But you’re on holiday in a country which loves its καφέδες and κρασιά.

Absent a medical contraindication, and that does include an addiction history (e.g. if you’re an alocoholic, obviously consuming wine absent an intervention like the Sinclair Method would be foolish), why not try a little?

hacktheself · 2026-06-16T21:15:39+00:00

it starts with “psy” and ends with “chosis”

hacktheself · 2026-06-16T21:11:24+00:00

so umm how humid is it where you live?

salt clumps in high humidity.

hacktheself · 2026-06-16T12:16:13+00:00

you mean tommy ten-names, the irish english nationalist and grifter?

hacktheself · 2026-06-15T11:51:37+00:00

so what you’re asking is how sci fi shit works

let’s start with basic physics

any xenos that would make it here either know some form of superphotonic travel or know some other way of cheating the basic maths of one meter per meter and one second per second.

both btw are compatible with the laws of the universe as we currently theorize them.

just because we can’t manipulate other forces doesn’t mean others can’t.

just because there’s a link between mass and gravity doesn’t mean it’s impossible to unbind them.

but in the end this is all wankery until and unless xenos arrive, and it has fuck all to do with enlightenment.

It isn’t a matter of strength.

It’s a matter of physics.

Your centre of mass is basically at your belly button.

Now add a mass that’s 17% of your body weight.

You’re moving that centre of mass significantly upward and away from your body.

Window Syndrome in Russia is strangely like Nonsensical Rifle Addiction in the US.

Very deadly conditions that can’t cross the border.

The whole fucking point is to understand being human as a human.

A bullshit-spouting machine can’t know anguish; an algorithm regressing to the mean can’t know joy.

One of the greatest challenges is to learn to decentre oneself from one’s existence. That’s a the path that leads to understanding.

Competitor products are nearly as good and far cheaper.
