@literalbanana Mesmerism is real. If not how else could Mesmer have made someone cough up blood by his presence alone? 😇😈https://t.co/ZKkb6NFMml
This is saying that that Mesmer guy's method of action was by sight and touch, which impacted the gut as a "a veritable nervous center connected to all other parts of hte body."And that he was causing people to shit shit themselves! WTFhttps://t.co/6ahh4XZQhC https://t.co/QjzI0SvwTi
@literalbanana I want to believe (That this is really about gut bacteria and scent based communication impact those with sensitive CNS).But so many people swear they can read minds...https://t.co/9fGSoyv1yk
@literalbanana Thought broadcasting radio."Thought broadcasting is most commonly found among people who have a psychotic disorder, specifically schizophrenia."https://t.co/I923ZbUtnOEyesight television.https://t.co/bAoh1IZ44R
@literalbanana Either ~1500 people are schizophrenic, you can actually implant memories in people, hypnosis is real, or Mesmer was able to use animal magnetism to make people shit themselves in his presence.I'm not sure, but I have my own theory.
@literalbanana You know those hysterical contagious dancing phenomena? I figured out how it works and can probably induce it in people. I think Hysterical contagion is biochemical. I even found someone who exhibits symptoms I predicted like being able to see UV and believes in energy healing.
@literalbanana May or may not be working on hysterical mass shitting event for reason having to do with science.https://t.co/zptX5dd1xp
@literalbanana Turns out personality is mostly gut bacteria producing neurochemicals."Serotonin depletion amplifies distinct human social emotions as a function of individual differences in personality"https://t.co/NDTpPWC62c
@literalbanana A good hypnotist can smell their victims.https://t.co/5MP3ACg0Sq
@literalbanana This is all imminently testable with basic brain scanning and gut microbe assays.https://t.co/E7K6eCtfJp
@VitalikButerin @vgr When stuff like brain wearables are able to measure Insula functioning + measure disgust we might be able to test predictions. This one of the reasons why I am interested in Robert Sapolsky' work exploring primate vs. human social reasoning.https://t.co/Q855OyZ4tA
@literalbanana It's amazing what you can do if you doubt the dogma.https://t.co/iNMIXgB8Ks
@humanworkplace It seems humans have co-opted our immune system's framing of dietary disgust to also be used as a way to sense social disgust.I learned that when people have a gut feeling, there is a literal sense of grossness & gagging that some people get. https://t.co/V6YROVTVV9
@literalbanana You can smell someone's immune system shift. Pair this with other senses and now you have a way to train someone into thinking you got sick eating a bad food.People call this hypnosis for some reason; they wanna believe they can broadcast their thoughts.https://t.co/sPoFYUHRW5
@chrisdancy The current research on sound detection of health is really shaky - they tested it on unfamiliar people and didn't measure actual behavioral or immune responses, just surveys. These would overlook localized training and miss subtle synesthetic responses.https://t.co/cAdNxoNcjh
@literalbanana I have disproven the HAIDT of disgust and i've never read his work lmao. I guessed. GUESSED the paper's author. ;)https://t.co/vvqX5jsOgQ
@pmarca I suspect it will replicate, but they have the model wrong.Why are rural populations, with higher rates of disorders tied to gut dysbiosis also associated lower IQ, less openness traits and higher disgust response to outgroup?We may never know.https://t.co/PBN7dzZM88
@literalbanana Hypnotism: My Ass :: Disgust Response: Muh AutismEvery time.https://t.co/eCBQBvWaP6 https://t.co/bR3X4cMUDB
@jordanbpeterson @JonHaidt I think there's a missing axis to this discussion - I react to the air blown in my ear & food disgust (per https://t.co/gQoM0l9Ujh), but I don't manifest the same group fealty effect or hierarchy and don't seem to fit in with left or right. Can't figure out why.
@literalbanana Lobstershttps://t.co/lQ9zGBcukS
@literalbanana My food disgust response shifted quite dramatically when I did my FMT. I took a food test to see how much it changed (answering honestly). It was pretty profound.https://t.co/DytGxODsFj
@literalbanana Coffee makes me poop now.https://t.co/CzRQxX9s98
@sm0bot If it is acting on the regulatory systems within the gut associated with serotonin and delta opioid production in the gut, it could explain quite a bit on the effects people seem to complain about. I think I experience the same thing when I get stressed.
@literalbanana Ergo, you can split your group up into hypnotizable types and non hypnotizable types by giving them a strong coffee before the study and marking who had to use the bathroom 30 minutes later. Require they fast before to avoid false breaks. https://t.co/lvXgQFYheC
@Rahmeljackson Some coffees trigger the delta-opioid receptors more than others AFAICT, so it may be personalized depending on mutations that impact that process. https://t.co/VcyEOw3pRxMay also involve TRP receptors, which complicates further, but coffee is easy lever to experiment with.
@literalbanana If you crouch the whole study as a medical test, you can probably also get their genes tested to verify their TRP receptors are a certain way.Mine is autism coded. It lets me mesmerize people easier. *blinks*https://t.co/k2sLIV51D6
@pmarca @sbaroncohen I can predict autism by looking at people's eyes because autistic people tend to have mutated TRPM8 receptors and this impacts their blink rate. It's a trait that varies based on gender. https://t.co/LjCbXNgTvVAs TRPM8 is testosterone receptor.https://t.co/dSFaff98mQ
@literalbanana The tricky part is that the expression of these receptors varies quite a bit, hence why you wanna control for bowel activation as a catch for healthy serotonin function in the gut. The will indirectly control for proper bile function and gut bacteria / GI response.
@literalbanana Smokers and non-smokers are also a potential bucket to use. The acidifying brands of coffee will neutralize nicotine in the blood and should be able to gauge gut permeability/mucus factors tied to gut health based on how quickly they need a smoke break.https://t.co/P74MddVwVp
@increase_la @liminal_warmth Nicotine does weird things here, in particular around GI blood flow."In conclusion, although [nicotine] resulted in sex-specific alterations in [heat generation] and tissue insulation during cold exposure, the response in [rectal temp] was unaffected."https://t.co/uONIdyKIGZ
@literalbanana Lactate doing this is why we see some people needing to smoke after horizontal... uh.. exercise. It also can occur due to stress shifting amygdala sensitivity to blood pH, impacting homeostasis. Lots of variables to control for. But they can be controlled for.
@literalbanana A timing measurement should work as a bucketing mechanism because the intestinal mucus acts as a barrier and changes how fast these chemicals enter the blood thru the epithelium while also impacting relevant intestinal TRP receptors.Only then can we begin to do real science...
@literalbanana This also implicitly groups people into groups who believe they can have thoughts implanted in them. The mind reading experiences of schizophrenics would cluster naturally in one of the buckets due to it being a common self-medication. https://t.co/QGOkXrf5es
It becomes problematic when the self-other boundary is deteriorated to the point where it feels like someone is invading your head. It's basically Pareidolia, but for mind reading. It combines with underlying anxiety into one that expresses paranoia.https://t.co/iIxamQqk0v
@literalbanana We can follow this up with a metabolome and gut biome test to see if indeed those who have poor mucus and low niacin production end up correlating.This will be way more mechanistic than any personality test would eve be.
@literalbanana We can also control for penis turgidity during nighttime arousal by doing what @bryan_johnson is doing to measure his dong. This would more cleanly bucket people into those with poor smooth muscle in their penis and further stratify against diabetes risk.https://t.co/jtVXHGd3tb
@literalbanana would be another easy way to measure gut health factors via a proxy, and make it seem more medically oriented despite actually just trying to replicate mesmerism.https://t.co/r1NX7nJhDN
@bryan_johnson I've been using garlic to treat problems in my brain & gut by leveraging it's action on ACE. Its fascinating how much brain blood flow and penis turgidity correlate.Nighttime thing is good proxy for toxin clearance from the brain via (g)lymphatic system.https://t.co/7z5R3oCWEF
@literalbanana Though really this is just to make sure that we can involve bananas in the experiment in a way that passes Science Review Boards. https://t.co/5fGcL7j8gp https://t.co/xuS6kh2Bbv
