There is a great cave guarded by a dragon and inside it are many treasures, but if you combine the treasures you get different treasures. You can only retrieve what you can carry. Each time you combine treasures some of your life force is consumed. Many enter, few exit.

Some say there are other exits hidden in the cave. Some say the treasures themselves are the magical remains of past victims of the cave. The dragon only ever gives each person a warning, and then says they're welcome to enter.

It is a fragmentary image induced from schizophrenia that I have little idea about the meaning of. I tried to write a document about magick with it as the core concept but I couldn't tell if I was just bullshitting and driving myself crazy so I stopped.

I think I also didn't want to induce paranoid schizophrenia in any other vulnerable people by memeing them into thinking that information itself is an infohazard in high volume.

lol, my (probably bullshit) model for schizophrenia is that there is a context mismatch where cultural technologies can’t yet accommodate the thinking structures- i’m kinda foucaultian there (not saying there as the some pathological suffering involved)

so, it’s less an infohazard, and more an info *deficit*, where the culture doesn’t have enough samples to create norms and inframyths

It sort of feels like random segments of my brain have been deleted and they still work in a linked list capacity, referring thoughts to other thoughts, but I can't access the actual content of the intermediary nodes, only the content of the first and last node.

Sometimes I think that the problem is that the future deleted those parts of my brain or damaged them using some sort of quantum retrocausality: that the limitations of bayesian inference for modeling uncommon neurologies led to interactions across time that destroyed my brain.

ie, that there is a high water mark of what can be inferred about cognition of certain rare people and the simulations of the future act like some sort of accidental bitmasking process that destroys all the aspects of the brain that aren't modelled.

yeah, cool we are all stuck with our self-modeling to understand this stuff, and so i kinda view atypical confusion about inner states as simply not developed enough to relate to different people- *you* are trying to use the metaphor of linked lists to bridge understanding

And when you reference an objectively true touchstone that we both can understand, two alieans can start to understand each other
