How open are you?

... the alternative is like falling backwards into your destiny, plummeting into the unknown with all our past laid out in front of us, our biography, all history, the lot, like the wide open sky as you reach for your ripcord, fumbling, hoping you will find it before you hit the floor

but at least the imagery is somewhat accurate - for instance we can indeed recall our biography, and read the histories, the past exists and is embodied in a way that the future is not,

but maybe that's just some linguistic tic that prevents us from freely time travelling or at least from prophetic prediction

we are all in lsd freefall upside down

Yes there's also the metaphor of the forking garden, your choices splayed in front of you but you can't see where they lead past a few feet

Only a crazy crypto utopian Californian would be so ballsy

And so dead.

Who would let themselves be hypnotized? Would volunteer in a crowd? Or privately? In therapy?

I was a little freak about hypnotization as a kid

I watched K-PAX last night and hypnosis played a pivotal role in the story. Personally, I wouldn't let myself be hypnotised. I'm not trusting enough to let someone try to assert that sort of control over me.

And so dead.

Lucky for Dissensus I'm still here!

How many?
What's best for your family, immediate or extended
Any argument, the media'll extend it
I had a cousin that stole my laptop that I was fuckin' bitches on
Paid that n*gga 250 thousand just to get it from him
Real friends
Huh?

Best song on the album. Beautiful Havoc production.

 

[kid charlemagne]

that anecdote is so insane tho. also given that he just abruptly drops it on us

 

[other_life]

Open - how are you?

 

[Ian Scuffling]

I'd get hypnotized but I would trust very few of you to do it. Version, linebaugh, KC, maybe gus

Important case study

 

[linebaugh]

I would not want to get hypnotized, I’m afraid I have a dangerous fury inside me. A tumult, a psyclone, a terror

 

[sus]

What do you fear would happen do you reckon you'd kill someone. Send them to the hospitable. Traumatize them mentally and physically.

 

[sus]

Or do you fear you'd be revealed for the monster you are

 

[linebaugh]

No I don’t think anything like that but if there is an uncontrollable violence inside me I don’t think it could be cleanly manifested by our normal logic and thus could appear as anything, which is the fear.

 

[linebaugh]

I could say anything, maybe gibberish maybe something awful

 

[linebaugh]

I don’t think this is unique to me though I think everyone should have this fear about themselves
