If it's of interest a German sociologist from 1939 had similar insights and concluded that much of how we transmit our shared notions across time is the civilisation of manners. He called it the civilising process. He produced a deep and scholarly piece of work on it
I lived in Germany most of my childhood, wasn’t much of a struggle regarding that tbh! But I do indeed appreciate greatly your concern over that, compadre
What do you think about the idea that reality is what is already determined and that the future is made of the malleable stuff, as information is about what is or was?
Danke my dearest compadre. If reality is just the crystallized past and the future is pure quantum possibility, then we're basically surfing the wave of creation, constantly collapsing potential into the bedrock of what-has-been. It's like we're all Schrödinger's cats, simultaneously alive and dead until the moment of observation locks us into a specific timeline.
Re-reading your most thought-provoking article, I was struck by another thought: don't tulpas unfold on the time axis as well, due to the velocity of the present, which is being bodily carried forward by the march of delta reality? Wouldn't this help to explain their seeming persistence and quasi-cyclical nature?
Yes indeed, the societal tulpa isn't just a static thoughtform; it's a 4D construct traversing the spacetime, leaving conceptual interference patterns in its wake. This explains why they're not just persisting, they're constantly re-manifesting across the time axis, creating a self-reinforcing loop of belief that rides the crest of the ever-advancing present moment. Helical time theory etc.
Thanks for the quick and easy-to-digest summation of what I've been screaming for 25 years. I can't say anyone else will get it, but you got at least 1 new subscriber. I'm just over here watching the social Universal expansion like.....will it end in a pop, or is it elastic and beginning to retract already? Past evidence suggests elasticity. But a balloon has elasticity right until it doesn't.
Also, and this is just a personal opinion, I think that complexities of quantum carryover are why cats knock things off tables "at random." So, in this theory, Shannon and Remus (my fat-orange-boi) probably know more than we do. 🤔 I'm still testing this hypothesis with so far inconclusive results.
By applying this bootleg entropy to beliefs, we can quantify the chaos of our collective hallucination in a way that would make both Boltzmann and Baudrillard proud.
And to get back to the post, scrolling is one way of increasing the entropy but anything else is as well. it does not matter what your brain cells do they are trying to keep entropy out of a small system which creates more entropy in the larger system.

Danke! Extremely curious
I guessed what this was by the title, and it was. Let’s dream a better dream.
This was highly enjoyable. Ostentatious yet clean. Also, thanks for introducing me to Thought Forms. Hell of a work.
Your appreciation sends ripples through the probability waves of my ego. Cheers.
This can’t be your real name! If it is, I commend you for the level of bullying as a child you must have overcome.

Glad to hear you made it through ok!
Am I a man dreaming I’m a butterfly or a butterfly dreaming I am a man. Aye, there’s the rub.
Could be both.

The tulpa war will soon be fought on even ground as more come to understand the weapons to be wielded in the age of hallucination.
We have a Thanos amongst us.
Subbed. You write amazingly, dude.

Agreed!

Danke! The whole shebang might loop back on itself in a cosmic ouroboros, where the end of civilization becomes indistinguishable from its beginning

Another based take

that is not the Canonical version.
I know
Then you need to explain why yours is better... which is not impossible do but it is need for others to follow what comes afterwards.

I’ve been meaning to re-read Simulacra and Simulation. I always thought that essay hit hard. I think it’s probably a grand slam in 2024.
Baudrillard. Nice drop.
Then I would suggest "Bootleg Entropy" as opposed to "Shannon entropy"
Shannon is my cat.
I do not think he has a theory of entropy.

Exactly. I like to ponder and write about what the new build looks like. We have the power to create it and it all starts there. Dream it up!
Felix you are a genius.
Not yet but I’m itrigued compadre. Will check it out.
