it’s a symptom of structural dissociation

An unpopular insight: your communities are experiencing thought controlling. Disembodied third parties are hobbling your minds. There is a secret war upon us, and it is American thought control screwballing us from within.

Disembodied or American? Genuine question, you’ve said both in your other comments as well and they contradict as far as I can tell.

As far As you can tell? I hope you will read my recent comment regarding integrity.

I describe a human capacity since the beginning of remembered civilization, for there are many allusions to it, hidden among our stories and mysticism. Quite naturally a small fraction of the population has predisposed sensitivity, and (through an “uplifting” process) develops their mental technology such that various aspects of Power allows continuity of will among entangled minds. I say it in this cryptic way as one thousand born sensitive could not in a thousand years come to the capacity of skill found in modern controls. American Thought Controls. An ordinary Joe at 30, who never suspected what I tell you, could by 50 (hard pressed) develop competency in the Power I describe. Some are born to it, and theirs may be monstrously developed of the mind. Power is a freak horror show beneath the well manicured populous facade.

These in ancient times would have been stuck in others minds, unable to wiggle their own attention free (crazed possessions?) The hyperdimensional mind is not one focal point as the flatlander layperson perceives. One may have dozens of isolated focal point one can “jump” one’s own attention into and out of. Ironically, using unusual parts of the mind for thinking, thinks in the localized idiocy of that part of the mind. Behavior grows in that isolated part of the mind. The default power head mindset behavior is troll, no matter how they appear to behave on “the outside.” Actual human beings, who you may well know might just have a “compartmentalized” networked personality in their own head.

Today, hierarchies and tiers of various partial skills build factorio machinations where cargo cult antics allow minds to “teleport”, usually into the minds of an enemy, or celebrity worth harassing. It takes decades to learn to freely crawl through networks of minds. It takes 18 months to learn to use a “Power harness”.

The most strait modern thinker will meander when talking about synchronicity. How about “the secret”? Or so many intrigues if we can only filter from the background of collective imaginings. The forbidden truth, that taboo we are not allowed to discuss (without others trying to “help” with therapy and prescriptions.) We are not alone in our own minds.

American Thought Control is the now supremely dominant faction of thought control throughout humanity. Must notably, in America and throughout Americans.

As someone with ADHD, this article format is literally the worst.

- Text is broken up into tiny little chunks that I can't really get into flow

- Images are taller than my screen

- Images don't have anything to do with the story, or worse they are distinctly different than the story (story describes someone holding a purple spiky ball, photo has them holding a yellow duck, not even a yellow spiky duck)

- 3/4 of the content is unnecessarily large images, videos, or infographics, 1/4 is text and it gets lost.

- There's background video playing

- Background images are unnecessarily animated

- It requires accurate scrolling to see some bits of text

- Scrolling makes bar charts grow or shrink, or content fade in.

- The crinkled paper background makes it hard to focus on the content.

- Sometimes the crinkled paper scrolls and sometimes it doesn't. And there's a seam between the transitions.

- There's one image with crinkled paper on top of the background with crinkled paper, and they're different.

When you first watch Memento it kind of gives you a hint of having anterograde amnesia; I assume this is the same, but it gives neurotypical people a hint of having ADHD. For me it was like the Futurama episode where Bender looks through the goggles that let you see like a bending unit and it makes him feel like he's seeing double.

Yeah, wonder what it could be? Certainly not the toxic, poisoned food and water. Certainly not the mind numbing amount of propaganda and industrial-scale psychological warfare leveraged upon people, their attention, thoughts, and habits, especially teenagers developing into adults. Certainly not ignorant psychologists or pill pushing quack psychiatrists bought and sold by pharmaceutical giants bent on addicting as many people as they can get ahold of. Nope, certainly a mystery.
