"tell share" => when your brain tries to say "communicate", but fails and your writing habits make the two words come out separately. This is an advanced word blend because it actually uses two words to create a phrase.https://t.co/MfE7guVy8y

One things I've learned is that compression of ideas is relative to the community you're speaking to. Its easier to compress an idea down if you can assume a lot about another person's perspective, or have an inkling on what to say to them to inspire certain thoughts to resonate.

To some people, that idea could just be compressed as "leveraging inferential distance to map a shared idea space". The neat thing about the internet is that curious people will google search "inferential distance" and so the compression is free.

Under my strange lens, I view words & sentences as primitive idea networks. Each word is a conceptual link to series of 'tweets' (memes, thoughtforms?) that already live in your head. i'm quote tweeting concepts, assuming it will resonate an idea networks already in your head.

I can't find thread, but I have a tweet about how I do all my best work when i'm avoiding stuff. Is a comment on how my anxiety drives me into a weird displacement activity where I calm down by doing research / learning and then start channeling my muse.https://t.co/7sIcqXKxxc

Learning makes me think about dopamine.and it annoys me that I still can't find that weird brain cell that we found (in parkinson's?) that suggests it can shift between generating serotonin and dopamine in a dose-dependent response.Autism's hyper focus is dopamine based IIRC.

One things I've learned is that compression of ideas is relative to the community you're speaking to. Its easier to compress an idea down if you can assume a lot about another person's perspective, or have an inkling on what to say to them to inspire certain thoughts to resonate.

One things I've learned is that compression of ideas is relative to the community you're speaking to. Its easier to compress an idea down if you can assume a lot about another person's perspective, or have an inkling on what to say to them to inspire certain thoughts to resonate.

@sm0b0t @selentelechia @PontiacGunfire @eigenrobot I found a strange optical illusion effect that changes how one perceived the body. It explains why I could never draw foreshortened shapes. I literally see proportions wrongly. When I'm tired or sick, the world moves without moving.https://t.co/SdCKOGEu1T

If you bring enough John Conway memes together in one spot, you might be able to recreate his pattern and imprint enough of him onto a suitable surrogate that we may be able to do this.https://t.co/V6AuYdtfIm

We are beings filled with acid, with bones of metal.Contained within us are microscopic life giving demonsthat we keep at bay, less consume our carapace.When we cease to function, a copy of ourselves still lives in those around us.A singularity of meat. Forged in hell.

Apophänie> The term was coined by psychiatrist Klaus Conrad in his 1958 publication on the beginning stages of schizophrenia. He defined it as "unmotivated seeing of connections [accompanied by] a specific feeling of abnormal meaningfulness".https://t.co/MmAJJthwhR

@nexidava_ @gwern @Rationalist69 @RokoMijicUK @sudonhim @browserdotsys Mind Palaces work on memory best when you can link multiple stimuluses together. That seems to be how they did pony thing; Imagining a creature, not a place; externalizing DID as an imaginary friend. Trick to Tulpafication is you've got to tap into the agency circuits as well?
