Comment on Hate to see all the suffering

  Basically, they saw a couple where one of the people had high energy and the other person had low energy.

  My kibitslz is that in electronics, sometimes, rather than grounding to 0 volts, you will ground to something like -12 volts, which makes the actual 12 volts on the other side seem like 24 volts inside of the circuit.

  Or consider the cheerleader effect, where when you place a bunch of women in a group together, and dress them in a way that they look similar, and then evaluate them, as a whole, the average attractiveness score will be higher than each of the individuals.

  So all I’m saying is, is that the person who seemed like they had high aura in that couple might have been profiting off of the evident disparity between them and the low aura side, and if you took the high aura person out of the relationship they might just have ordinary aura.

    Witchcraft, how do you make negative voltage?

      You suck on the electricity REALLY hard. That makes an electrical vacuum. You can try it right now. Put your mouth on the charging port of your phone, and suck really hard. Now the difference in electrical levels will make your screen brighter while you suck.

      It is dark magic but from what I understand it’s dome by placing a portion of the circuit behind the power supply, so that it’s both pushing 12 volts and pulling 12 volts.

      I don’t think that that is enough of an understanding to replicate the phenomenon, but if you were designing such a circuit with a gun to your head and no know how, it might be enough for you to figure it out and save your own life.

      Depends on relative to what.

      Connected to the wall: it’s AC (alternating current). half the wave is already negative. You can rectify it backwards, apparently. Or, you can use a split phase transformer.

      Connected to a really big battery: big inverter just swaps the leads on the battery really fast.

      Hold in your hand: negative charge pump. Magic & momentum.

      Easy, you just subtract a higher voltage from a lower voltage. Thats just maths.

      Alternatively, just swap the red and black probes on your multimeter, and now your positive voltage is negative.

      Or, just twist that knob on your oscope.

    Can it work the other way too? Like an excessively high energy person makes a normal energy person seem less so?

    using voltage to try to explain what aura is is SO funny to me

    Thank you, I will now internalize this for future silly misuse
