I keep having dreams about meeting magical beings and asking them if I can take a picture so I can prove they are real and not forget them. And they say no.
And like. Hypnosis is REAL and is an actual altered state that we don't understand, that I can't explain in words, that I can't capture.
I just woke up this morning feeling like "why am I bothering even pretending hypnosis is about science? Why do we not just call a spade a spade?"
I think hyperrationalism is actually limiting, like literally I think if you stick to "this is a science" you can't do the Really Big Stuff.
I think the only thing that prevents me from fully doing that is the hunch that I'll be misunderstood.
We have a lot of our jargon and methods from science, that's fine. Science is necessary. But maybe in my own personal mind, I can just see it holistically for what it is.
I think hypnosis fits the definition of magic perfectly, has in fact been called magic over human history, and I think that makes people uncomfortable.
But I think we should sit with that discomfort. WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING about it. And it's OK if that makes it a touch otherworldly.
A large part of housecat vocalisation toward humans isn’t goal-directed communication, but rather, affiliative signaling: a simple call-and-response protocol which establishes that the participants are part of the same social unit. Amongst themselves, most housecat affiliative signaling is non-vocal, but humans aren’t really physiologically equipped to respond to such signalling in a feline fashion, and cats, well, they’re adaptable.
Which is to say that when your cat yells, and you yell back, so the cat yells again, and so forth, what you’re really saying to each other is “hiiiiii~”.
