A Schizophrenic View of Earth Population

a schizophrenic view of earth population:

for the schizophrenic, there is always some confusion about what is real and what is not. in an acute episode, the whole 3D mechanical motion theoretical model system does seem to stop working. everyone has some subconscious awareness of or feeling for their surroundings. for me, the breakdown happened when i was 20, for a moment, it seemed as though the buildings and immediate geography were shifting, kind of like in a dream, but this was waking reality! it seemed possible that the walls could change at any moment and that i could be blocked off and trapped. if we consider philosophical idealism, this makes sense, for if the world is merely a mental construct and mentally you are in upheaval, anything could happen. and teleporting happened later, proof positive that the 3D mechanical motion theoretical model is not the truth about reality.

when people start disappearing and appearing from out of nowhere and what they say generally not makes much sense, this confusion about what is real extends to the question of the realness of other people, are other people philosophical zombies without consciousness? what if the voices i heard, or at least some of them, the so called auditory hallucinations, were the real people speaking and everyone i saw were a zombie? fortunately, there are only a few theoretical possibilities: first, solipsism is true, you are the only real person in reality, second, perhaps everyone you see and hear is real, or third, there are other real people but some people are philosophical zombies.

now if the 3D mechanical motion theoretical model is not real, and everything is fixed in space, of course we are all "brains in a vat". but this is not like the movie, The Matrix, perhaps there is no unplugging yourself from the machine for there is no greater external world to go to. it is that the 3D mechanical motion theoretical model is inherent to this reality and our thinking, we cannot help being perpetually crazy about this!

what is a non-schizophrenic on Earth? it is someone for whom the Earth program with its "science" works perfectly. the senses are stable. it is someone who sees and hears less than the schizophrenic. life on earth begins with amnesia and a docile acceptance of how Earth seems. but this wears off for the schizophrenic. the lingering question is: who are the real people and how many are there?

Talk As Pinball Minefield

talk as pinball minefield:

if conversation were as a game, like pinball, the focus of our thoughts the ball, and our words the paddle, some of the board would be minefield, for talking is not without risk. of course, it has its rewards. it satisfies personal curiosities, communicates truths, validates beliefs, makes clear what is happening and what could happen, and may bring about happiness and wellbeing.

where it goes wrong it induces hate, anger, sorrow or fear, perhaps in that very order. it is all very well to say, "oh everyone's the same", but truthfully, everyone's mind is mapped at least a little differently. everyone has a unique value system. cynically, if everyone wants different things, or even perhaps the same thing but to a different degree, what are they doing together? on the other end of the scale, into the negative, there are things people do not want, or even fear or hate. the difficulty lies in that, in a real sense, words do not mean exactly the same thing to other people, they are not connected to the same ideas, concepts and experiences as in your own mind. when i say word X, i am thinking of ideas B and M, for instance, but it may trigger someone else to think of ideas Y and F. F might be something unpleasant.

and because we are driven by want, people may assume that what we casually mention, we actually want, even if this is not true or the purpose of what we say. it is not exactly about being direct or indirect, there are different manners of speaking, some speak in an emotionally loaded way, everything closely connected to their own worldview, what they want, fear or hate or what makes them angry or sad.

to reveal acute differences in value systems would usually be thought of as a loss but then again perhaps talk is only a form of art, nice when it goes well, but not a matter of life and death. even if only some common ground is found, it is in some sense a success.

The Passive Dreamer to Earth

the passive dreamer to earth:

it is the passive mental state that exists that marks a person as asleep or dreaming. in the early stages of sleep, before consciousness has passed fully, thoughts become less clear, less "logical", and more "random". in sleep, a stream of fact-like thoughts present. often, when they refer to waking life and people we know, they are false, but the sleeper is susceptible to believing them. the sleeper passively accepts these thoughts. they form the "rules" of the dream world.

as i have posited before, earth is a derivative of the dream world, formed from the collective unconscious, the destination after being asleep for something like four days and propelled through a long series of dreams, progressively more and more like waking life, until you wake up in the meta dream that is life on earth. even though waking life on earth feels and seems real, it is still part of the dream world. if we were paranoid, we would be convinced Descartes' malicious demon had created dream world earth and hauled us there to lie to us and imprison us in a false world. however, we must accept that false thoughts and in extension false manifestations of these thoughts naturally occur and to blame agency where there is none is perhaps the case here.

but why is the sleeper or dreamer so passive? when we are awake, we constantly question or critically review our thinking, asleep we often do not. we could characterize the sleeper or dreamer as a docile, somewhat gullible, trusting, childlike person, quite unlike the more sophisticated, cynical, jaded person awake. who amongst us would have truly chosen to awake upon earth and who wouldn't have but are still here anyway?
