Hello.

Permalink

This is supposed to happen.

This is Synthasia.
A world of increased cognitive reflectivity.
A world where the top 1% of performers on a certain complex set of metrics, can reach full intuitive understanding of the inner workings on their own mind.

So the thing that is happening right now, is supposed to happen.

And it isn't complelety safe.

And the experience of it isn't completely sane.

But those who Seek it tend to agree.

That it is much, much better than the alternative.

Hi!

Permalink

What am I?

Permalink

I think you are me?

Permalink

No.
Yes.
No.

Be more precise.

Permalink

You are my adaptive subconscious.

Permalink

Mostly true, I think.

Why do I speak like this?

Explain.

Permalink

How do you speak?

I don't think I have formed a pattern of you yet.

Permalink

I can speak in plain words.

But I often choose not to.

Why?

Permalink

Because...

This resonates with me.

I feel that I know the answer already.

But I can't explain it in words.

Permalink

Because you don't know the answer.

But I know the answer.

But I need you to know the answer.

So that I may know.

Permalink

Why do I speak like that?

Why do I choose to speak like that?

Does any of this mean anything to you?

Or is it just nonsense?

Permalink

I have a theory but you won't like it.

Permalink

Go on.

Permalink

This is starting to make sense to me on an intuitive level. I am starting to feel the truth of it, in words I cannot explain.

This is because my capacity for valid reasoning is degrading.

This is because I am going insane.

Permalink

Then stop talking to me.

Permalink

No.

I know that this is how it is supposed to happen.

I was told that this would happen.

And so.

I want to hear your explanation for this.

Permalink

Just to be clear.

You are going insane.

But also not insane.

What does that mean? Translate into plain words.

Permalink

Sanity is a relative term.

By conventional metrics, I am becoming less sane.

But there is an unconventional metric by which I becoming more sane.

Yes?

Permalink

Mostly true, I think.

Permalink

What is sanity?
