There has been a glitch in the system 🥴

a lot of people complain when Jay's headcanoned with adhd and I honestly think it's because they don't realize that they don't headcanon it because of his child-like personality in later seasons (at least, that's not why I hc it), but because thoughts are formed through complex electrochemical interactions between billions of neurons in the brain.

The lightning inside of Jay 'upgrades' that process and in order words, creates the adhd.

Less scientific, but also because of 'lightning always living', causing the hyperactivity

FUN FACT NUMBER #1

Autistic people are better are learning and remembering things because we have more brain cells then neurotypicals.

To elaborate: Autistic people go through less synapses pruning compared to the average neurotypical brain. Autistic people lose 16-19% of their synapses instead of the usual amount (that being what the typical brain experiences) this means that our brain absorbs information like that of a child leading to knowing a bunch of random facts much like this one.

Although, if there are any stressers on the brain that can cause forgetfulness then obviously this information wouldn't be accurate for the stressed mind.

Remember, don't always believe what you see on the internet, do double check this :)

Greetings folks! Did somebody say fungus bots? its time to spore some trouble i guess :) ok it wasnt funny i get it.. Anyways meet with new fungus based biohybrid bot..

before i start to explain how its works lets take a look at its backstory shall we?

The idea was almost age old actually, experimentation of soft body robotics and bio robotics and today its reshape as we see biohybrid robotics with the search for more sustainable, self-healing, and biodegradable materials. Traditional robots are often made from synthetic materials and metals, which can be rigid, non-biodegradable, and challenging to repair. The researchers at Cornell University sought to overcome these limitations by integrating biological elements into robotic systems.

The team turned to mycelium, the root-like structure of fungi, which has the unique ability to grow, self-repair, and biodegrade. Mycelium is also known for its strength and flexibility, making it an ideal candidate for use in soft robotics. By embedding mycelium within a network of sensors and actuators, the researchers created a biohybrid bot capable of sensing its environment and responding to stimuli, all while being environmentally friendly.

This fungus bot represents a significant step towards more sustainable robotics, demonstrating how living organisms can be harnessed to create innovative and eco-friendly technologies. The research also opens up possibilities for robots that can grow, adapt, and repair themselves in ways that conventional robots cannot, potentially revolutionizing fields such as environmental monitoring, agriculture, and even healthcare.

there is four actual elements that actually runs this bot besides of shell.

Fungus's Mycelium

Fungus's slug

UV light or UV array in the sun light

Electricity (it seperates as fungus related electrical pulse and electricity waves from censors)

firstly lets start with fungus mycelium: Mycelia are the underground vegetative part of mushrooms, and they have a number of advantages. They can grow in harsh conditions. They also have the ability to sense chemical and biological signals and respond to multiple inputs. so basically its neural system that transfers certain commands of activities between root and fungus itself

its slug is basically fungus's cell system or actual biohybrid organism it this case

once mycelium gets affected by UV lights it generates small electricity pulses to slug system and when slugs gets electrocuted by these pulses it acts like a muscle basically and it causes the slug to move or contract its muscles to activate.

and once you figure out how you gonna shape its muscle system and house them carefully you will have a "biohybrid robot" as their terms

the reason im taking this now is it reminded me "Fungus Baby Experiments" which is an inside name for series of projects that been continued for a while after corona until now.. Simply, the goal was to create or adapt an organism to thrive in different environments and make sure these environments livable by humans in the future by manipulating with artificial and external factors. Google it :)

anyways.. thats all from me this time..

until next time..

Autistic bottom up thinking

Autistic “bottom-up thinking” refers to a cognitive style often associated with autism, where an individual processes information starting from the most basic sensory or raw details and building up to more complex understanding. This is contrasted with “top-down thinking,” which typically involves starting with a general idea or framework and filling in the details.

In bottom-up thinking, an autistic person may focus intensely on specific details or sensory input—such as sounds, textures, or individual components of a situation—before forming a broader understanding of the whole. This approach can be particularly helpful in tasks requiring precision or attention to detail, but it may also make it challenging to quickly grasp abstract concepts or apply prior knowledge to new situations without fully analyzing the smaller elements first.

For example, in social interactions, an autistic person might process specific facial expressions, tones of voice, and individual words before interpreting the overall emotional context of a conversation, rather than intuitively picking up on the general mood of the exchange from the start.

Perception is like painting a scenery - no matter how beautifully you paint, it will still be a painting of the scenery, not the scenery itself.

Feeling aimless, lost, and unmotivated.

I don't study.

I never really have. I got through junior high just fine without it. I even managed to get through high school, although not doing homework and not studying material started to make my performance slip.

Then, I spent a while at Kansas State University. I was pursuing a BS in computer science. I still didn't study, and I sorely needed it. I transferred when I got put on academic warning. Instead, I got an AAS in Animation from Johnson County Community College (don't let the name fool you - it's better than the art programs at some universities).

Finally, after never really starting a "career," I am back in school! I'm studying Neuroscience at the University of Kansas. I love it - the faculty are amazing, the frontiers of the mind are fascinating, and learning about psychology and neuroscience is fulfilling.

And yet, I still do not study.

I've done some internal exploration and I think I've found an important facet of accomplishment that I'm missing. A key element that provides intrinsic motivation, that makes things worth doing for means other than bare survival or overstimulating entertainment.

Pride.

With ADHD, our reward circuitry works differently than neurotypical brains. If something is not immediately rewarding, it takes far more intentional energy to be able to "suck it up" and do the thing anyway. A lot of the time, this is accompanied by shame and guilt for not being "good enough," or we just don't have enough energy to do it in the first place (which also leads to guilt and shame).

We are emotionally sensitive people. Our emotional cues are strong, and they influence our behaviors significantly. We can understand that we 1) like doing a task or are fulfilled by a task, 2) need to do a task, 3) are available to do the task, (etc., etc., etc.), but we can still be swayed to avoid the task anyway.

Why? Because doing the thing is actually, tangibly painful.

Just finished another class on how to not put my foot in my mouth and it's soooo validating to know people have to learn these skills like anything else. I've signed up for uhhh I think this is like my 3rd or 4th? And experts on how to not sound like a dick will school me and 30 other professionals on how to not sound like a dick. Wiiiiiiild how much there is to learn on the intricacies of communication :O

Hm? I supposed it depends on who in the community you interact with.

Me personally I don't see there being a founder. All forms of manifestation are connected in a way, the only difference being terminology and way of applying the knowledge. People in the community have a tendency to act like Neville Goddard is some all powerful being when he's just a dude who wrote about his experiences

The original post linked an article about "demystifying the double slit experiment": personally I've never heard of it or seen it be connected to manifestation. I've seen things about quantum physics yes...but not that, I've also seen things based on neuroscience.

The Reticular Activating System (RAS):

The Reticular Activating System, a network of neurons in our brainstem, plays a vital role in filtering information and directing our attention. When we set clear intentions and consistently focus on our goals, we activate the RAS. This mechanism helps us notice opportunities and information related to our desires that we might otherwise overlook (Psychology Today) (Psychology Today).

The Influence of Belief:

Our beliefs have a profound impact on our reality. When we have faith in our ability to achieve something, our brains release neurotransmitters like dopamine, which boost our motivation and confidence. Conversely, negative beliefs can trigger stress responses that hinder our progress. Manifesting encourages individuals to cultivate positive beliefs and reshape their thought patterns to support their aspirations (Live Your Best Life Now)(Dr. Kinga Mnich).

(There's plenty more science)

I'm not sure about the religious aspect, but from what I've seen, it's more similar to Gnosticism, which the original poster probably wasn't talking about and probably referred to modern-day Christianity. Yeah, I just read one of their other posts, and they seem to be very "Christianity is only this way," saying Neville Goddard's misinterpreting the Bible and lying. However, there are over 3,000 versions of the Bible.

"The beliefs and practices can supposedly never fail the followers; followers can only fail the beliefs and practices." I personally don't think failure exists, it's just that people give up

Followers are told to suppress their doubt and their critical thinking skills. People who ask critical questions are shamed and invalidated.

Not once have I seen this on any social media platform (I don't have twitter or tiktok) critical questions should get legit and helpful answers...and no one said to "suppress critical thinking skills" CRITICAL THINKING IS IMPORTANT

Evidence - why would someone be shamed for asking for evidence? And "all evidence" being faked or a coincidence is possible but not all.

Dehumanization. Everyone Is You Pushed Out effectively claims that other people lack true agency and interiority, and are essentially mere puppets you can control however you please.

THIS IS SO WRONG WHO TF SAID THIS?! EIYPO JUST MEANS THE PEOPLE THAT SHOW UP IN YOUR LIFE ARE A REFLECTION OF YOUR ASSUMPTIONS OF THEM

NONE OF THE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY I HAVE INTERACTED WITH BELIEVE WHAT OP SAID AND CALL IT "STUPID TIKTOK BULLSHIT" also mentioned an sp youtube but not gonna name names.

ok so now for the people being "shamed, harrassed, victim blamed" um sure there might be toxic people in the community but that goes for anything. However, me and plenty of other people I've seen put links for those in need or crisis hotline numbers. This actually happened recently. Not once did anyone victim blame.

The original poster of course only put evidence supporting their idea that Law of Assumption is bad, however most things have a good and bad side and I've seen, and experienced more good than bad.

They also only talk about the good side of Christianity, which seems like the "Christianity is the only true religion but we "respect" other beliefs, also only THIS Christianity is real"

They also blame people for their results being a coincidence or fake or random...so can literally any religion but they don't say that about Christianity.

Claimed to know the "real history of the bible/Christianity" but with how many versions there are and how much it could've been altered and mistranslated that's nearly impossible. Also only put one scientific article supporting their claim however that was only one experiment, usually multiple experiments are done resulting in the same result and making sure to have variables and a control group.

"The double-slit experiment has not been disproven; it remains a cornerstone of quantum mechanics, demonstrating the wave-particle duality of light and matter, where particles can exhibit wave-like behavior under certain conditions, and is considered a fundamental experiment that has been repeatedly verified through various iterations and variations." is it possible for it to be proven or disproven in the future? Of course,

People are free to their own beliefs but if you're gonna use double standards to make your beliefs "better" and only show people what you want them to see then you aren't really "open minded"

(I am and have always been Catholic with my great-grandmother working in her local church and with Christian relatives and friends. Literally none of them shame or judge other people's beliefs except for one)

All I'll say in the conclusion is believe and apply in LOA or don't, it's your life and no one is forcing you but don't be a hypocrite and have evidence as to why loa is fake but not anything about Christianity or any other religion.

ok so op believes in magic and is Pagan, but while believing in magic believes alien and other space related sci-fi esque beliefs are bad and believing them make you a n@zi...just another example of double standards and hypocrisy imo

NO ONE SHOULD FORCE THEIR BELIEFS OF SOMETHING BEING GOOD OR BAD DOWN YOUR THROAT

AND IF YOU NEED SERIOUS HELP CALL THE HOTLINE NUMBER FOR THE SITUATION IN YOUR COUNTRY

Autistic mono-tropic thinking

Autistic mono-tropic thinking refers to a cognitive style often associated with autism in which an individual has a tendency to focus intensely on one subject or activity at a time. The term “mono-tropic” comes from the idea of being oriented or “tuned” into a single focus, as opposed to “multi-tropic” thinking, which involves balancing attention across multiple things at once.

In this style of thinking, a person might become deeply absorbed or “locked into” a specific interest or task, often to the exclusion of everything else around them. This intense focus can be highly productive and allow for deep expertise in a subject, but it can also make it difficult for the person to shift their attention or engage with other tasks or social situations that might seem less engaging or relevant.

Mono-tropic thinking can be contrasted with more typical, multi-tasking styles of thinking that involve frequent shifts between different thoughts or activities. In mono-tropic thinking, the brain tends to prioritize and become fully immersed in one thing, which can be beneficial for deep concentration but sometimes challenging in environments that require rapid switching between tasks or awareness of a broad range of stimuli.

In practical terms, this might look like an autistic person spending hours on a single hobby, project, or interest, with little awareness or attention to external distractions. It can also mean that the person may find it hard to “multi-task” in the conventional sense, or may need extra time and space to transition between activities.

Overall, mono-tropic thinking is one way in which many autistic individuals process and organize their thoughts, and it can be both a strength and a challenge depending on the context.

if this article is accurate, i finally might have an answer as to why i am SO easily traumatized and why my symptoms of autism (i am not diagnosed) have seemed to worsen with the resurfacing of my PTSD.

i have been searching for some kind of validation that i might be easily traumatized, and this is it. this is it! ive been waiting for someone to just acknowledge me and my experiences in a way that is medically true.

if this is accurate, i finally have some clarity into my experiences, and why mental professionals keep telling me that 1. im “not traumatized enough” to have OSDDID because my traumatic experiences are so much “less severe” than those with the typical OSDDID trauma and 2. that my PTSD symptoms manifest themselves as “autistic symptoms”

i feel so so validated, i could honestly cry. i just need someone to read this and take me seriously. oh my god. this might be it.
