Write down everything you intend to get done in notepad first.
Don’t “converse” with agents, make all your decisions first (i.e braindump), then paste it in and let the agents sort it out.
Windows collects so much telemetry and yet it still can’t tell you how long an update install will take.
What if reality is just a dot, and based on how the dot moves and wiggles around, some medium of generative outfill is adding colors, smells, backstory and etc.?
The vast majority of anything anyone does is based on emotion. Even things people claim to do for “material” e.g acquiring wealth is actually seeking an emotion of security.

So disappointing when you’re having a debate with someone and they drop the name of some writer and it sinks in that you’re not talking to the conscious part of them, you’re talking to a frozen viewpoint they swallowed, rigidly attached to assumed authority.
For every unfalsifiable statement that sounds meaningful, there is a falsifiable rigorization of that statement just within reach.

People think the subconscious doesn’t understand “not” but this is not (always) true, it is because “not” is such a frequently used word that your subconscious gets fatigued at processing it, it is not a hard and fast rule like people make it sound.
I feel like I’m going crazy. I have this memory of reading the foreword of a Chuck Palahniuk book, maybe Choke or Stranger Than Fiction, and he introduces this concept of “beestan”, where writers start to see all their experiences as a raw resource for writing, only I can’t find.
Yes
one of the most fascinating ideas I've encountered recently is Chiastic Time
life isn't a story unfolding from beginning to end, but a pattern unfolding around a sacred center
mainly operating through coincidence and synchronicity, events separated by years reveal themselves as parts of a larger mandalic-like pattern
