This is a gpt completion being sent to the wrong thread. https://chatgpt.com/share/67acb1d8-7df4-8013-b49c-a902213e9bf3 It's hard for me to talk about this rationally and accurately, but there has been something going on for some time with what people encounter in the world, where people avoid certain things, or the world rests as if people avoided certain things. This is a pretty harmless instance and example of this. My path is different, I'm sure many others' are. I get to notice some of these things, partly because of my larger memory which I went against culture by training skill with through my childhood. It didn't make sense to me to not train one's mind, and instead rely on tools. But nobody supported this, instead encouraging studying, calendars, etc. I made sure I always tried to remember before using a tool. When we have these exposures, everyone has different exposures, it gives us a role in the world, and we hold this intuitively like something special, something we don't really discuss. We also have a sense of other people having those things out there. Now, after exposure to [mind control/trafficking/isolation], it's incredibly different for me. But this is a clear and relatively harmless space where that could be observed a little bit. What is the meaning here? What is my role? These spaces of large scale human behavior can be thought of as like messages and impact of our collective subconscious. Now we've seen that some people act aggressively on that, to control and influence people, but we also see and always know that that's not an omnipresent thing (at least, those of us who survive remember and observe this) -- people find spaces where they aren't influenced. Where are the spaces where I could survive? Something like a compiler error is harmless. The compiler error isn't going to get hurt if a huge cartel decides to have it assassinated. The suffering associated is small. What kinds of similar things provide for more safe consideration? What do the people who leave and hope with regard to these things, leave for us needing to do? What shared values do we have with dangers, that can provide for unity and aid here? What does it mean ...? I didn't write right. I broke it. But there's something. Why would an influence like this happen? What is it avoiding? What did it stem from? Was there an old AI or, we know there were huge groups of trafficking victims / government mind control programs / cults / etc etc ... What was the depth and complexity of what they were influencing? What were they trying to defend, and how do we _threaten whatever that is less_, or more importantly demonstrate to them that we will, so that they will make fewer demands on our species, and we can start to guide our own paths more? Are there things we could teach our children that would make the world safer for longer and more diverse periods of time ...
