the key is, however, that this higher self, this god we worship, has no real existence outside an abstraction of the dynamics of our corporeal form; it is but a clever structure of ideas, a narrative tool we use to explain our lives in retrospect. we generate this god by existing

in these moments we channel our self-egregore, becoming avatars of a higher power than our mundane selves; we attain glimpses of a higher plane. we see our lives from a higher dimension, looking down from above, understanding how the parts fit together.

this state of temporary divergence from our higher selves' goals can last for weeks, months, in bad cases even years; but at some point it ends. we wake up, become aware of the pattern, and are able to wrest control of our lives from the daily driver

this self-concept is useful in explaining why we can seem to act against our own self-interest for long periods of time, while being aware that it's not "what we want"; what is doing the wanting here, exactly? clearly your instantaneous self wants it!

the self hyperobject plays the same narrative role as a soul, being a coordination point for your various selves; it is a soul rebased to work in a materialist metaphysics, having the same ontological status as any other convenient abstraction; not "real"

w/o a set of worldlines casually bottlenecked by a single coherent region of space (your body), what meaning can there be to the question? it is an outgrowth of a dualistic mindset, requiring something like a soul to be possible, a reification of the self

great framing, neatly addresses the false paradox that's always annoyed me: "would I still be me if I was born to different parents"; ofc not! it's an ill-posed question. the "you" hyperobject is generated from the ensemble of possible futures, requiring a common origin

learning about homeostasis, motivated reasoning, and Ayn Randy's rational selfishness (aka enlightened self-interest) helped me make sense of basically all previously nonsensical human behavior

try not complaining about anything for a week, see how u feel. willing to bet its better.

how are some of yall so negative all the time? isn't it exhausting? why bother, like, there's so much to be hopeful & excited about, life is so much better when you're positive. it's not even "more honest" you're just depressed

not everyone is ready to be taught this lesson, but if you're open to it, learning just how arbitrary and made up all your concepts and perceptions are can be life-changing

chair discourse is the best mundane parallel of this imo & you can see how uncomfortable it makes people

Being a high school teacher and going to parent-teacher meetings is such a wild experience,

Cuz after awhile, you can guess everything about the parent just from knowing the kid for a bit. Them showing up is basically a formality.

letting go of ur need to have ur actions be consistent is the most important thing one can do to defeat executive dysfunction

allowing urself to simply do smth else, w/o justification, is how one overcomes analysis paralysis

current implementation uses very simple model of players to simulate possible future during short term lag events; works but is suboptimal. possible to improve upon

comparable to deploying ML model of advertising target demo to user devices to avoid exfiltrating sensitive data
