Well, you know what they say.

Getting to old to #GlazeIt? Probably not.

Rebelling against your own core beliefs is undeniably exciting when it comes down to it.
I mean, are you really gonna take the word of that voice in your head without experimenting with those limits? When your mind draws some hard lines, why not step outside the known for a bit?

[Koters @Dkdudeman]

@NegaReaper @EnginoJuushichi To me, the reality seems to be closer to how addiction works. I played fighting games as an attempt to satisfy the deep-seated need to feel capable.
It also does seem that some people play fighting games because they enjoy them, but that was only half the story for me

[Koters @Dkdudeman]

@IceMateria Yeah, but if you deny that good is also banal, then you'll be stuck with a weird fixation

[Koters @Dkdudeman]

@Slowjoe_da_mofo But now I can't remember how the game went or who you were even playing

[Koters @Dkdudeman]

@Slowjoe_da_mofo YO, I SAW SLOWJOE AND THOUGHT IT COULDN'T BE YOU

Having a happy 5/20 in my new place.

It is 5/20. It's time to glaze it.

[Koters @Dkdudeman]

Late, but we glazed it.

@HMUA416 @AmatsuAki @icerlane @PissMagazine @InternetH0F It's weird how difficult it is for most people to understand that less narrative thought almost always feels better.

[Koters @Dkdudeman]

@AmatsuAki @icerlane @PissMagazine @InternetH0F Yeah, that's automatic action that requires no thought, like the flow state.
But there's also a further distinction between "tasking/planning" thoughts and the self-referential internal narrative, two distinct brain regions. Images can still be self-referential.

[Koters @Dkdudeman]

@icerlane @AmatsuAki @PissMagazine @InternetH0F I'm assuming it's still fairly "noisy" or "cluttered" in their minds, it's just less associated with the auditory sense.
I have a friend who only thinks in images. He's the drummer of our band, but he has no clue how he processes music. It's like it's completely subconscious.

[Koters @Dkdudeman]

@muttinchop @dave_sentenn @Commenter51 @chainbreaksage @InternetH0F Well we don't really choose or control our thoughts, so who is talking to whom?

[Iris Berent @berent_iris]

A new Scientific Reports paper asks why we view the mind as separate from the body? Does #Dualism arise only from culture, or partly from human nature--from the tension between intuitive physics and theory of mind (#ToM, as suggested by @paulbloomatyale)?https://t.co/Ttmku10GHA

[Koters @Dkdudeman]

@Sandoobi Since this appears to be a core aspect of the human mind, it would seem like we'd have more public discussions of how to approach this problem more successfully.
However, it feels like some extremely important groups are completely ignoring this aspect of reality, for the worse.

[Koters @Dkdudeman]

Is it possible (using propaganda, information, education, advertisement) to brute force through the backfire effect?
Is there a point at which a person finally changes their mind?

[Koters @Dkdudeman]

@Sandoobi Assume there's the goal of getting a group of people to accept something that science has currently found to be valid.
Those people currently believe the opposite and feel antagonized by the scientific community for whatever reasons. They'll most likely fulfill this definition:

[Koters @Dkdudeman]

If all thoughts and behaviors stem from neurochemical reactions, and if those reactions always obey cause and effect, then nurture IS nature
and there's nothing to worry about.
