man wouldn't know where to begin for instance i suspect consciousness is not an emergent property of brains but rather a more fundamental/omnipresent feature of reality and our brains/bodies are kinda like antennae tapping into a sea of consciousness this is a tame example

a more 'out there' example would be my fairly strong suspicion that reality is teeming with (non-physical?) beings / entities / intelligences of various sorts, many of which possess levels of understanding/insight/intelligence that utterly dwarf our own

hahah funny you link this bc i had the thought that egregores are an exception & seem to be like the unofficial 'non-physical entity' mascot of postrat yet at the same time the concept seems to be used primarily playfully/metaphorically/aesthetically, not earnestly postulated

I earnestly endorse it. Like--did you write the piece I can't find about how there are higher forms of life than humans?

that's cool to know you earnestly endorse it -- i feel like anytime i've ever seen egregores mentioned on postrat twitter it's always in an almost post-ironic ambiguous way that feels more metaphorical

I don't see it as metaphorical, although it's difficult to express or perceive with clarity when I haven't had THC but I don't privilege my sober state, you know?
