This is not a meme stock why are you guys hyping up a crazy rally or something. Just hold and forget that your holding until the end of the year

Hell nah man yall told me we were going to mars

Spacetime stretches out like a canvas.
We mark it as we go, painting it, leaving our proof.

But you and I both know the marks don’t fade. What we made is still there, where we left it, when we left it. Trapped in the past. Unreachable and incorruptible.

Somewhere on that vast canvas, yesterday persists. You might try to erase it, but forgetting doesn’t make it less real. The tea is still boiling. Im still calling out your name. I am discovering you and losing you forever.

I suppose I’ll miss you forever too.

This is a weird one but sometimes if I’m looking at something I can shift my vision/ focus so that everything in my vision feels smaller.

Like my phone will appear further away despite it not being so or people will look small.

Can anyone else do this with conscious control. I’ve never read about anything similar and was hoping to find some insight from this sub.

Love isn’t a thing that leaves when it’s time to go.
It lingers by the door far too long, because true love waits, it holds on.
It buries itself. It doesn’t shrivel. It doesn’t die. It waits.
And if I saw you it would spring to life, it would leap forward and I would have to shut the door.
Because true love waits. It waits too long.

I thought to myself why is my red now the same as when i was a kid.

I realised 2 forks emerge:

Unstable qualia- what red feels like to my conscious is constantly changing but updating, the red from my childhood was different, but it’s a seamless change

Stable qualia- despite changes is neural pathways, attitudes, experiences, brain structure across a life, red remains the same and does not drift.

If unstable: what decides the experience in the first place, what decides where it drifts to.

If stable: changing the brain but keeping the input (wavelength) keeps the same experience, showing that the brain does not create qualia but reads it.

Also raises the question if it’s the same across different people if it can be the same across one persons life.

An experiment was done on colour blind monkeys where they were given extra cones, granting them the ability distinguish a different colour than they could do previously, despite the monkeys have no experience with that qualia before.

If that monkeys qualia of the colour is the same as ours, then qualia is not subjective and is information that is available in wavelength at-least.

Determining if qualia is stable or unstable has large implications on the hard problem.

Let me know if you have any thoughts to add or problems with my reasoning I’ll try explaining better.
