From Unconscious ESP to Conscious Reality-Engineering

This is the result of many years of hard work operating under the assumption that ESP, whether conscious or unconscious, is universal. The images say it all. My project is also available at: Archived Figshare DOI: https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.32775348

Forgive me for being so blunt and skeptical, but this very much appears to be AI-generated... and just appears to repeat a lot of pop-culture ideas surrounding science fiction and spirituality. There aren't even any sources, just dazzling, fanciful pictures that paint a grandiose picture.

These images... they paint a reality that is looked at a machine to be manipulated. The main idea I get here is that of controlling reality, enforcing one's will on it ~ the sort of thing a politician, CEO or greedy individual might be obsessed with doing.

I have a completely different perception ~ reality as a sea to be explored and understood, as a process of seeking self-knowing and admiration of its beauty. Something entirely absent here. The pretty pictures feel, again, very... fake and grandiose, meant to inspire a false sense of awe at something pseudo-profound.

Well, it's not just mumbo-jumbo, the images *are* logical... the internal logic is definitely sound... and there's nothing wrong with using AI to help create a beautiful picture... what do you expect me to do, open Microsoft Paint?   It's 2026 for God's sake...! Anyway: I've been working on this project for like 10 years... it's the final product of a lot of polishing, trying to find the right answers and discard the wrong ones... I really think these methods can work... try taking a closer look at the images and the logic behind them... on the ethical question: the aim is not to control reality, but to evolve reality to its ultimate potential... the technology is only as evil as the ones who use it...

Well, it's not just mumbo-jumbo, the images *are* logical... the internal logic is definitely sound...

I find nothing "sound" about repeating popular science fiction and spiritual ideas ~ there may some truth, but it is mixed with a lot of, well, fantasies about future scientific possibilities.

and there's nothing wrong with using AI to help create a beautiful picture... what do you expect me to do, open Microsoft Paint?   It's 2026 for God's sake...!

The pictures are "beautiful" ~ but they have no further substance behind them other than to dazzle and awe. And that is... not very interesting or meaningful.

You didn't make these pictures nor did someone else. They were generated by a soulless algorithm with no imagination or experience behind it. That I find very uninspired and uninspiring. I much prefer images created by an actual person from hand based on their own attempts to communicate real experiences, real emotions, real thoughts, real beauty.

Anyway: I've been working on this project for like 10 years... it's the final product of a lot of polishing, trying to find the right answers and discard the wrong ones... I really think these methods can work... try taking a closer look at the images and the logic behind them...

You can say that you have been working on something for 10 years... but these images remind me far too much of concepts and ideas I have seen from elsewhere. That is to say, they are not original thoughts, and these images don't appear to have anything new to say.

The images have no real logic to them, either ~ they are not based in experience or intuition, but an appeal to emotion, it seems to me.

It's precisely the sort of thing I expect to be generated by a chatbot these days, alas. It's not the first time I have seen infographics like these, either. Why do they all look basically the same style and similar style of wording? Because they were generated wholesale by an LLM...

In other words, I much more appreciate your own thoughts written by hand, then choosing real pictures drawn by real people to try and aid in communicating the written ideas.

It seems like you didn't bother to try to understand the images... sure, the idea of time travel exists in sci-fi, but I'm proposing a method that could actually work... that method is my own, original invention. The same thing goes for all the other tech ideas I articulated: sci-fi has ideas about interstellar travel and transmutation, but the method I came up with to accomplish those aims is my own. The beautiful presentation was made to create enthusiasm, but it seems to be doing the opposite...

@satya, don't be too dismayed - our board unfortunately sometimes has a tendency to haze new members like this. It's something we need to work on. It's been noted by long-term members as a problem that has probably driven people away who otherwise might have stuck around and continued contributing.

Why don't you share a bit about the process you went through to produce these images - I mean in terms of research and thought. What have you read, watched, and studied? What are your influences?

It seems like you didn't bother to try to understand the images...

I understand the images very well ~ I've seen these kind of infographics many times before, and they have nothing interesting to say. You expect me to accept them unquestioning, I suppose?

sure, the idea of time travel exists in sci-fi, but I'm proposing a method that could actually work... that method is my own, original invention. 

Given that we have no evidence of actual, genuine time travel, this is just imagination presented as something "scientific" and "spiritual".

The same thing goes for all the other tech ideas I articulated: sci-fi has ideas about interstellar travel and transmutation, but the method I came up with to accomplish those aims is my own.

There is no "method" if one cannot actually observe, test or repeat the proposed claim.

The beautiful presentation was made to create enthusiasm, but it seems to be doing the opposite...

Why refer to it as "beautiful"...? Seems like you are dazzled by it, to the point that you can't see its flaws and shortcomings.

Made to create "enthusiasm"? To... sell an idea, rather than something meaningfully real?

Thanks @Laird !

Well, I had some evidence about synchronicities, then I remembered the antagonist from the game The Journeyman Project... the antagonist invented time travel, and his name was Elliot Sinclair... If you take the first part of the last name, it spells "Sinc" like sync, or synchronization. The name itself is a synchronicity. That was when I realized that time travel would have to have something to do with synchronicities... after many failed attempts to figure out a method of time travel, I realized that the best way is to exploit the interconnectedness that is responsible for synchronicities...

[Laird]

Tell us a little about those synchronicities if you're willing - personal experiences are always of interest here. We even have a subforum for them.

The title of your first image is "The Parapsychological Foundation". Does it have any relationship to the real-life Parapsychological Foundation?

[Laird]

Presumably, the sense of "Foundation" is different in your image: you mean it in the sense of "Basis" not "Organisation".
