"With all the time in your hands, what will you do now?"
"Turn back the hourglass once over again."
"So, it's all there, together, then?"
"Hah. With what, time?" He continued, "I have all the time in the world, and
you want me to what, undo the striking of the hour hand? ...I don't think you
understand. Not this time. Not for you."
"What - that's our partnership, untied?" His former stopped, like a good breakup will.
Sigh. The man who had all of the time halted it, instead: "And for you, that you will stay
trapped here, like a mouse in my pocket? No, that would be too good for you, that you would
see all that we have done undid in an instant!"
"Yeah. And what did that cost you, besides the death of yourself? You think that timepiece
will save you like it did your father? You will see that there is no life after this one."
"And you - you will see that there is no time like the present!"

A world snapped out of place for the concerned man, pulling his body and face into the ground
twice as hard... space-time had began unravelling itself, celestial bodies beginning to re-trace
each molecule through the beginning of time.
...so which side of the planet would he need to stand to
fall off and watch the planet move away back through time, instead?

I stopped trying to process your post when flipping over a hourglass was equated to turning time back. Not only it doesn't, but it resumes subjecting us to the true meaning of time which is cyclical and eternal and the only way to avoid it is to never turn the hourglass over, never look at it, and never think about it until you stop experiencing flow of time itself, this has much more profound meaning already than your schizobabble post.

same OP, I guess I am part of that section for whom stimulants make tired. Caffeine too, just drank 3 cups of coffee but I am about ready to take a nap. I'm slightly hypochondriac that cardiovascular encephalopathy might have somethint to do with it. Stimulants consistently raise my BP to mild systolic hypotension ~135/80., which would be dire, but treatable in theory.

I wanna try the nootropics, the fact that thats so much from the USSR ignites the communist in me. Needless to say it's difficult to get where I am, my country's particularly strict.

This whole "muh credentialism" is fucking retarded copout garbage. It is completely and totally out of touch with reality. A credentialed Physicist is objectively more capable of competently engaging with subject matter regarding his field of study. This is not a fallacious statement to make in any way.

Alright, my proposition is that smoke sychronizes with brain frequency.

During my tests, I stay in a closed space with no wind and no moving of any sort.

I use thick incences that produce more smoke.

Alright, so, in my observations I see that as soon as smoke gets into laminar flow it automatically connects with the brain. (I wonder what would happen if there were two people, how the smoke would behave).

When your brain is under more beta frequencies, the smoke usually has less phases and it is harder to see any abnormal paterns.

But the magic starts when the brain kinda relaxes and lowers it's frequency to alpha. The smoke that was under LAMINAR FLOW starts changing phases and creating rings and spirals that all people are used to see.

These spirals and rings are connected to the brain and and synchronize with it's frequencies. When one is able to focus and and starts to understand what is happening, the smoke assumes forms and shapes that WOULDN'T be there otherwise. The brain can even manipulate and twist shapes with it's thoughts.

I have been doing this for a while but never got to film it yet, as im not rich and would possibly need to have expensive cameras that can slow down time, as these are really subtle things. I encourage other people to try it out and discuss about it.

Since the beginning my studies have led me to WAVE FUNCTION COLAPSE. The idea is that under laminar flow, the smoke assumes a function pattern that is broken as soon as someone OBSERVES it. Exactly like quantum phenomena, but this can actually be seen in a macroscopic environment.

Bro, i know how it all sounds i guess, but believe me, when I say im also trying to be skeptic.

Umbada religion from brasil, uses smoke to "sense" the environment and feel when people are changing their behavior and becoming "possessed" by spiritis (whatever it means, i dont quite believe and dont know how it works exactly).

Also there are many stories about indigenous people using smoke to tell tales and "create images".

It kinda makes sense with the things I supposedly see, but Im trying from a science perspective and methodic way.

If it were to be crazy about it, Id go as far as saying it is possible to HEAL people, because it could be used to see their brain patterns and "inside" their heads what is the problem.

But let's stay skeptic, one thing at a time. One of the things that puzzles me more about this is not even the quantum phenomenoma per se. It is that somehow it happens instantaneously. The smoke changes and connects with synchronicity. And we were made to believe nothing travels faster than the speed of light. But of course, these are all supositions...

Its like they use "broader properties" of the smoke effects to do their thing. Just by instinct. But maybe never occured to them to prove mathematically what they already know and do in an ever greater way, while im occupied by trying to find a camera to photograph the smallest of curves and make lots of calculations to try and prove that it couldn't be there naturally.

Conservation of momentum, him and the boat are going the same speed when he jumps, just like if you run at a constant speed while tossing a tennis ball a few inches, the tennis ball will land back in your hand because you are both going the same speed.

Wealth is forcibly redisitributed because regardless of how highly you think of yourself, you're more often than not a byproduct of your environment and upbringing, and the society you live that allowed you your current lifestyle is sustained by the less fortunate. You're not self made, you constantly use what others have produced and leverage these services and infrastructure to sustain your lifestyle, to make up for that and to maintain a peaceful and functional society, you have to give back to the community that allowed you to be where you are in the first place.

Why aren't you nolifing your MS paint drawings all over 4chan, anon? You too could brainwash millions of retarded lemmings into adopting whatever memes and vernacular you want, purely by means of astroturfing, to the point where literal politicians and famous people start using it like the dumb cattle they are. Even the people who resist yoyr memes will cave in and submit to them once all their friends and peers start using them, so they'll cuck into using your meme to fit in. Its literally so easy, so why aren't you doing it?

And to make this thread /sci/ related, what are the long term societal and structural consequences of being able to program millions of people just by dedicating yourself to neurotically spamming the same memes over and over again repetitively?

You're putting way too much emphasis on the "spamming" part of it, acting like the memes themselves are hammers to beat people over the head with, instead of them speaking to a core truth that we all identify but can't quite explain clearly.
"Boomer" for example is simple and straightforward. Not overly obtuse or mean spirited, connects with the original term ("Baby Boomers"), but can still be said bluntly to be almost dismissive. It's simplicity means it can propagate fast and not have to be explained first for it to be understood. Almost like a loaf of bread, you can give it to anyone and can expect them to make something of it without first explaining it.
Compare that to like "Kamala is BRAT!" It's a bit obtuse, not too sure what it connects to, and kind of has to be explained for it to have a joke or meaning attached. You can hammer that into people and it probably wouldn't still stick, cause it's not simple and can't be easily used.
You also you saying "Its literally so easy" and acting like an asshole about the process by calling people cattle show why you don't get it, won't get it, and why you will never be a woman either.

The difference is whether or not the idea expressed is meaningful enough to the people who post here to continue proliferating it, its not just one dedicated spammer autist, its all of us. If you want to be a neurotic and live under the belief that everything in the world that matters is one guy going off the rails, you are free to do so, but that's not actually how history works. Plenty of guys go off the rails, and for 99.9% of those people, nobody gives a flying fuck. The 0.01% that people care about are the ones that deserved it.
