but when we are self-aware, we can alter misplaced emotions because we control the thoughts that cause them. This is a neurochemical consequence of how memories become labile when retrieved and how they are stored through protein synthesis.

that defines so much of life, if ofc you are actually self-aware

im at a loss to understand how that can and does change you, how much does that matter to who you are, and who you think you are

julia stiles is kinda hot, shes on tv and it was a coherent thought

its funny that sociology, the study of people, a person but tucked into a grand scheme (clearly psychology which tends to want to categorize everyone into some defined "this is you") was the one thing that for some reason always struck a chord with me at being clearly only endlessly fascinating but also intuitive. people and how they are in a framework of others, how a society clearly only views that but how they compartmentalize and define what a person is and how that person is then changed by that assessment.

ohh, ok

ok athene

have you ever wondered how much is you, and how much is what you are which is out of your control? what if they are the same, totally in your control, but completely at the whim of impulse. our entire life is a mix of fight or flight left to its own whim and the rational control of those impulses.

its good stuff, but at the very least its the type of abstract shit i used to think about, the stuff i still do think about. i dont know why, and have never known why. so the question is why do i even consider how one thing leads to the next. why dont i just take everything as it is and who cares? why does being aware of clearly only what im doing but what that means to what i will do even important?

btw, im at the 9 min mark. its just i havnt thought in the abstract in some time. being stuck in the daily real world where the only thing that matters is what have you done now/what are you doing now has apparently sucked a part of life from me that i forgot was there.

though this did start as a rational thought from that youtube vid i can see where it came from. but i think the entire point of the first 9 minutes is it can lead to anywhere. but that anywhere is whats subjective, its whats clearly only learned but inherent. and understanding how little and how much control one has over the course of ones thoughts is something thats quite disturbing.

i dont know where i am

bourne 3 is on, and idk but shes fucking hot

id like to take her out for coffee in the morning, have a few giggles

one can only hope that is taken wrong

in hindsight i have now changed my initial perception of this comment

i really would like lol's character select method to be more like hon was. there is no reason to reset everything because someone left. just remove them from that spot.

guess i should pee now

You're just a mixture of atoms in a certain order that makes you who you are.

We could just be virtual realities created by others.
