@Dogzilla Right and what I am saying is that the word doesnt need to be defined as we arent using it here at all, and ultimately is probably a word we should avoid since it has no meaning to an outsider, it only has meaning to us within our internal head space.

@gpowerf You wouldnt be aware of it unless you can reach a deep meditative state most people cant get to (takes a lot of practice).. but people capable of reaching this state all describe the same expiernce. So i am rather well convinced it is not just me.

@Dogzilla

In my own model of how the mind works there is no consciousness, that is just a fictional term we use to feel special... The sense of self-awareness we have, is likely a sense our subconscious has as well, its just seperate from us. We have two parts that likely see themselves as self-aware in our heads... but its not remotely improtant if they are self aware so much as the fact that they are somewhat independent and can hold thoughts and ideas seperately.

@gpowerf That is the way I expiernce it when i access it through medication yes...

Its this hyper OCD "consider everything" awareness that is just madly constantly going through ideas and refining them and improving them... the good ones creep up to my conscious mind.

@john

I dont think we have good words to explain this, like that is certainly beyond conscious access, but its not what I think of when I think of the subconscious.

The subconscious is a part of my brain that seems to be seperate with its own thought patterns and processing. I can only access it with deep meditation... it feels like it has its own level of awareness and thought and is much like my conscious mind just seperate and compartmentalized and unfiltered (yes it would drive me mad).. but it is seperate from skills.. both my conscious and subconscious have access to the same skills, and that is where the skill processing takes place, on a base level abstracted away fromthe conscious and subconscious minds themselves.

@gpowerf

consciousness has nothing to do with seperation of conscious and subconscious mind IMO.

The separation just implies there two separate minds that communicate with each other but process and think independently.

Counsciousness itself, the idea of awareness. is just a myth.. something we use to call ourselves special.. I suspect if you could somehow directly ask the subconscious it would think it is conscious as well and have its own sense of identity and just as unaware it is a component in the whole as I am.

I have been thinking lately.. if there is any significant distinction between humans and other animals I wonder if it is not "consciousness" or even "intelligence" but rather simply that we have a separation of conscious and subconscious minds. It seems to me that most animals are just a direct expression of their subconscious with no conscious component acting as a filter. Or at the very least their conscious component is greatly minimalizaed

@admitsWrongIfProven It would prevent content from showing in your federated feed yes.. only way youd see content from there is if you follow someone who boosts it (boosts dont show in federated feed I dont think)... if you want to be safe you may wish to block the instance on your account level.. I am a bit concerned though to just leave them open on any level if they have child porn.

@admitsWrongIfProven They have auth-fetch setup... So I cant see their timeline, and someone would have to follow them and report it for me to see it and be able to act on it.

I dont really have the desire to start following them. Their rules do explicitly state that csam is not allowed, but they could just be bullshitting... sadly i cant see their timeline to confirm.

@admitsWrongIfProven sure thing, ill take a look.. as you know I dont control that server.. soif it turns out to be csam my only choice will be to block the server (and I will) after giving the moderator a chance to respond and act

@admitsWrongIfProven I have in fact done some menthol chemistry :)

@admitsWrongIfProven Water, its like an explosion in your mouth!

Just a reminds... sugar is just dehydrated vegetable juice (cane plant).

I wonder how much money twins seperated at birth can make from participating in medical experiments... They are such a rarity I would expect them to be able to make a lifes living doing that, and hopefully a lot of money... I wonder...

@emmreef

Sorry I was busy..

So yes, but that wasnt what we were discussing.. We both agree there are whtie and non-white genocides... we also both agree there were white and non-white annexes. What we were discussing is examples of genocide used along with anexing to create the modern day country.

With the china and the Dzungar people, for example, the Dzungar historic territory does not lie within modern day china (it is to the north west). So it wouldnt be an example.

The russian example would be a good one, even if it only makes up a small part of russia, that one definitely counts.

@madbarrister damnit now I want some mcdonalds!
