Last man on earth scenario: humanity has been wiped out via engineered viruses and the absence of a shared reality to offset the encroachment of liminal beings into our world means the supernatural creeps back into the lonely world of the last man on earth so that instead of vampires a la I Am Legend you have supernatural entities haunting the this last man. Kind of gets me thinking about the fact that marginalised people experience more of the supernatural (which is adjacent to mental illness) because they are less "submerged" in the world's current consensus reality which is that of scientific rationality and a worldview which is metaphysically a complete rejection of the supernatural as its foundational claim to legitimacy. Do more primitive societies experience greater supernatural occurrences? I'm not sure, but we do know in some cultures auditory and visual hallucinations are seen as a blessing and are experienced in a more positive light. In the West, psychosis is tinged with taboo and peril and thus clinically (scientistic term) treated to the end of reducing the so-called symptoms, and largely welcomed by the one experiencing psychosis. Also, is it possible that with every action an equal and opposite reaction, the larger our shared consensus reality, the larger liminal states we are "creating", so that liminal states, liminality, and liminal beings grow in proportion to their denial? A bit clearer: liminality, as experienced by individuals, could just be the collective unconscious of those in consensus reality, and the rational part of the brain, collectively represented as science, is battling the deeper evolutionary impulses which are represented through symbolism and engaged with symbolically in primitive cultures.

Including the origin of hallucinations and voices in the head—specifically how they were interpreted by ancient people at the dawn of civilization—and the emergence of the first religions.
>>545048572So wats the point of your post?
And as the process of the hyper rational society creates more liminality, reality itself will break down and rational society will rationalise it further, thus a feedback loop like a star collapsing into a black hole.

>>545048572> In the West, psychosis is tinged with taboo and peril and thus clinically (scientistic term) treated to the end of reducing the so-called symptoms, and largely welcomed by the one experiencing psychosis.I’ll add*In the West, this complex is linked to the development of ancient Greek philosophy, which was already capable of distinguishing and identifying mental illnesses some 3,000 years ago. The West is the heir to the culture of ancient Greece, so it inherited this feature...
>>545048572you delusional, Icebergs don't exist ...try push under water ice size of yourself and see how much power it takes to do that and you will fail to posh down even ½ of it It is physically impossible for iceberg to exist, because water melts ice faster then air and water is +4C as minimum. Yes humanity will collapse because jew rats , corruption, degeneracy, war, then famine and then death ... Rabbits have same cycle every 7 years . Turns out we not smarter then rabbits, just can create gadgets.Focus on hitting target causing problems , that are Jews. If you don't wake up to reality then you will die with masses of normies who don't grasp cause of all problems Slavs already kill each other about 3 million people, incited of killing few hundred Jews and all live ...You understand the problem ? How many millions get killed by vaxx? people knew it is hoax and took it any way in fear to loose job . Insted of getting together and hunting down few kikes and hanging in a public place .Love and fear are not opposite indifference are and it cause death. So fuck you, stupid mind swindler for your own entertainment sake.
Sounds like a load of toss to me
>>545048572>Last man on earthwill drive himself crazy with "what ifs" from the past and then subsequently be eaten by wildlife.
>>545049514Are you familiar with the concept of the Boltzmann brain? Exploring this hypothetical example might shed some light on the questions you raised in your thread. It seems that global consciousness does not specifically strive for excessive rationalization—because doing so would set it on a path toward merging into a single, undifferentiated consciousness... which would mean death by boredom.

>>545048572You can tell when somebody close to you has died even if they're nowhere near you at the time, I think we all used to have far more powerful collective consciousness that helped us act as a group but everyone is on brain pills and SSRIs so it probably fucks with it and we're lacking these days.>>545049828If it was a movie he'd search out a lab and try to replicate and save the human race. IRL they'd probably cry for a while, go mad and jump off a cliff.
>>545049836So would that be a kind of progression to solipsism or is the brain, from what I'm reading on the wiki, a purely solipsistic entity ontologically?
>>545051354This is not exactly solipsism, though it shares some of its characteristics—yet there are differences, too. In this hypothesis, everything—living or non-living—is a part of a single consciousness that has divided itself to avoid boredom. There are varying degrees of individualism that prevent this consciousness from reuniting, effectively "hindering the fusion." In this framework, free will emerges as a highly complex philosophical construct rather than a given. In other words, free will must be attained and actively maintained; it does not simply happen on its own. Without such effort, one can only exist within a "soup" of non-rigid determinism.
