we have to create better technology to capture the kinds of thinking we do when walking, or driving, or cycling, or showering i sit down to write afterwards and i can’t begin to remember/conceptualize where to start kinda try to use twitter for this, but it’s a mixed bag

They're injected thoughts from the future. Shower thoughts are a meme which means many people were lying about them which means the simulators had to guess who was lying which means some people are inheriting thoughts from simulations from the future

The future is defined by dumb politics as much as anything though so the good news is if you're socially credible you'll get tons of these thoughts but the bad news is if you're socially non credible they will steal all your thoughts and leave you empty headed

Most people don't notice because nothing in their being is outside of consensus reality (ie, there are large and agreed upon datasets defining how they experience things so of course they end up experiencing normality), but some people (usually accidentally) get outside of it.

consensus reality isn’t wrong, tho it just has no authority greater than individual reality (which has no authority over reality, of which we have no direct experience)

Reality is being perpetually cannibalized and reconstituted by a process of bottomless recursion known as human perception.

I want you to think of reality less as a sequence of events and more like a brain that has suffered a cataclysm, leaving the hapless owner to confabulate past experiences according to shaky logic. Or a forest that mostly burned down and then regrew in a completely different way.

oh, i missed this not sure what this metaphor provides us, except a rationalization for defeatism or fatalism

It's not a metaphor, though in practice it commits me to a combination of stoic fatalism and behaving more or less exactly according to the strongest priors I actually held in 2017. I genuinely think I am being tortured... in? Through, via retrocausal interactions? a simulation
