If I write a memoir, it will be called "Failed synchronization, living out of phase with the rest of the world". https://t.co/mmYMyYQztM
Ideas don't sync w/ rest of society.Attention isn't strongly mediated by social forces.Perception is literally on a different (variable) clock.Heart doesn't sync with those i'm close to.Period wouldn't sync with the rest of the pack (if I had a uterus).Non-24hr sleep cycle.
Which is fascinating, because this ties together the two areas of the brain that I think I have issues in - and also explains my particular superpower.https://t.co/bg2HWJxfQLhttps://t.co/jLiNLAVGzK
@Plinz @mwiik @sarahdoingthing But while I can't remember time, I have a very strong associative memory. Thinks seem to be wired not along cause-effect, but actually by relatedness. I think it's why i'm good at word association games (like mining my own tweets with search terms).https://t.co/LUPmgXsLxC
Was there a follow up to this study that showed people with schoizophrenia are more aware of the decision timing? https://t.co/jbQyYML1JKWhat if this is my "subconscious" bubbling up more? Subconscious = modeling other people and completing sentences?
There's a fascinating link here with how schizophrenia tends to have a disconnect in the self/other. If the subconscious is overactive with the dejavu feeling, it could feel like you aren't yourself and your thoughts aren't your own?https://t.co/T2pVB05oKR
Perhaps this is why I have so much success with narrative identity practices and certain kind of memory games - it's actually a way to train me to reframe episodic memory via spactial (and not time based)?https://t.co/aIvNugjUcA
I think perhaps this manifests in autistic minds as well, just not as strongly, and with a better division between the two. Seems to fit the research too.https://t.co/BjAd1gk7d4
