  Not to be a negative nelly but that’s like the whole internet. Our whole nodern culture even.

  Heck yes but. Seeing is better but hearing is more efficient. Like, it takes less energy, portable, transmittible.

  So inevitably the hearing is gonna win. You’re gonaa have this hige mass of people connected by hearing. And this relatively little bunch of people who sensibly stick with seeing, looking around going wtf.

  I am sperg, which is arguably an uncommon shape of attention. And I meditate. Which is all about doing stuff with attention (and studying it, philosophizing about it, etc)

  Which is an uncommon perspective, maybe. But surely other people study it too.

  And yes, it’s a big deal. A very big deal. One of those proverbial elephants in the room.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Artists, scientists and engineers have a magic trick.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Why not call it a magic trick. I mean, technically it underlays science. So it’s transcendent to our usual way of making sense of stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Artists, scientists and engineers have a magic trick.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Did I say that it is mind-blowing?

  That 3 problems in a row for you. 2 of them misrepresentation of the words.

  Maybe the problem is on your end. Try thinking about it a bit and then get back to me.

  You could say that people with this personality trait are inclined to become artists, scientists and engineers.

  And you could call this personality trait a magic trick.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Artists, scientists and engineers have a magic trick.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m describing a way of using attention. To put it entirely in one place and to completely remove it from everything else.

  And then the place where you put your attention blossoms and everything else rots.

  Try reading the post again then.

  I can manage color and direction being illusory, but distance, that’s jarring.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everything you know is wrong.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That sounds pretty good.

  It’s so easy to mistake dreams for reality tho. That’s key.

  Intentionally getting sucked in is the number 1 recreation on earth.

  Unintentionally, well, it’s so smooth, practically first nature. Ubiquitous and all-dominating. It bears discussion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Evading suffering is _itself_ a form of suffering⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s all about getting sucked into dreams. Once you’re sucked into a dream, win or lose, you’re still in the dream.

  This is where Vipassana comes in.

  Not “so?”. “So”.

  For example.
