none of you are capable of verifying I am that which I claim to be; the mere suggestion borders on hubris

it's only a matter of time before this knowledge filters down from research into common knowledge, and as elites already do a bunch of speculative nonsense to give their kids any edge they can, I'd expect to see biofeedback entrainment "lucidity coaches" emerge within 15 years

the societal doomerism on both sides is caused by starting from an imagined ideal and diffing reality against it, rather than starting from reality as the ground truth
it's no wonder you're depressed if you're comparing everything to something that was never real

this game defined a good bit of my childhood
remember much more about it than the rest of my elementary school experience, learned more from it about logic and problem solving than any teacher taught me
that entire era of educational game was incredible tbh, owe so much to them

very many wokes/leftists refuse to even consider this angle, seeing the principle of free association as a form of Social Defection; who are you to decide you don't want to share with us? do you think you're better or something?

to enter the unknown with someone is an expression of love
