“Stanford’s questioning was based on two considerations: (a) extrasensory response, like sensory response, presumably functions in support of the needs and/or dispositions of the organism; but (b), serving those inclinations logically need not require conscious knowledge of the information to which psi-driven action is responding. Indeed, an adaptive or disposition-affirming outcome orchestrated by implicit (that is, unconscious, automatically processed) psi or sensory information often might be the most efficient way to move the organism away from a threat or toward a gratifying situation. PMIR mechanisms support that possibility even when the respondent has no conscious awareness of it.”

Presentiment

Léon Spilliaert

Water colour, lavis in India ink and colour pencil on paper, 1902

[whats-in-a-sentence]

Teller often used to translate into German verses by the Hungarian poet Ady, a great favourite of his. One of these translations, which were never published, seems full of the presentiment of an existence which Teller and other research workers in atomic physics were fated to lead.

The Lord takes all whom he strikes and loves,

he bears them far from Earth . . .

their hearts aflame, their brains made ice,

Earth sends her laughter up to them

and, compassionate, the sun strews diamond dust

upon their lonely way.

"Brighter than a Thousand Suns: A Personal History of the Atomic Scientists" - Robert Jungk, translated by James Cleugh

Presentiment: Waking Before Alarms, Making Millions Through Day Trading

Most people have had the experience of waking soon before an alarm clock goes off and some can even wake before a specified time without an alarm. The usual assumption is that this depends on an exquisitely sensitive time sense, but Rupert argues that it may be explained better in terms of presentiment, or ‘feeling the future’, or even in terms of an ‘extended present’. We already know that our sense of the present is not a mathematical instant, but has width, and perhaps it widens over ranges of seconds to include portions of the near future, Presentiment is now a well-established phenomenon in laboratory experiments, carried out at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, Cornell University and elsewhere, and may be widely distributed among people and non-human animals.

Le persone che rispondono subito ai tuoi messaggi non sono disperate. Le persone che rispondono subito alle tue chiamate non sono disperate. Le persone che sono sempre lì quando ne hai bisogno, non sempre sono libere o senza lavoro. Forse sanno come ci si sente ad essere ignorati. Forse sanno come ci si sente ad essere soli e non avere nessuno su cui poter contare. Perché forse sono stati abbandonati quando avevano bisogno di qualcuno. Forse ti amano. Forse ti hanno reso la loro priorità. Non prenderli per scontati. Non perderli, sono ORO.

uh. the bella [ciao, not goth] & crisp frenship timeline.

met online near the end of 1998 on WetCanvas' ArtChat!

quickly bonded due to their love & concepts for "dangerous art"

shortly exchanged AiMs.

after a few months of talking & knowing about cripin's (rather open) sexuality, bella felt comfortable enough to come out as trans to him. they're both very supportive of each other, strengthening the friendship further.

1999, crispin (& neo) were discovered by famed fashionista & impresario, diva roma. after leaving to diamond heights, crispin continues to chat with bella online -- although not as often due to new busy lifestyle.

bella doesn't seem to entirely mind that crispin can't chat to her as often as before, as she seems to enjoy boasting about having a friend in diamond heights. collects every magazine he happened to appear in to brag to peers about.

2001, crispin & neo leaves diamond heights to find the foundry. back at home, bella is having complications with her parents due to her identity & is on the verge of being kicked out. crispin offers to pay her ticket to live at the foundry.

2002-2003, crispin helps fund bella's transition (HRT, some operations) through his own bank & foundry's profits.

2005 (now), bella is one of the prominent and recognizable figures in the foundry, having created many of the "fire" / "dangerous" related artworks.

“The basic concept surrounding the PMIR [Psi Mediated Instrumental Response] was that human beings utilize psi to accomplish something (the instrumental response) that fulfills certain needs in which the individual consciously or subconsciously possesses. Such concepts lead to arguments suggesting that psi may be far more common in daily life than is immediately apparent, but that psi does accomplish its goals in a subtle elegant manner void of conscious awareness. Further arguments then direct us towards the question ‘if psi is a staple in our subconscious daily life, can psi be directed to be a staple in our conscious daily life to any extent?’”

One part of love is innocence,

One part of love is guilt,

One part the milk, that in a sense

Is soured as soon as spilt.

One part of love is sentiment,

One part of love is lust,

One part is the presentiment

Of our return to dust.

My type is, generally speaking, just 'unattainable'. And that's goddamn perfect for me. Majority fictional since that would never happen irl but the others that are real people I know, also would never happen. We have no actual chemistry and would probably never be interested in me/would be turned off once they got to actually know me (true story)

I think the reasoning for this is probably because it feels so comfortable this way, not having a pressure to pursue a relationship. I feel like if I ever crushed on someone who actually was attainable there'd be a pressure to pursue something romantic with them, which would probably be pretty uncomfortable for me

I'm rly happy in my presential attraction, just enjoying their presence and daydreaming, I don't want anything more

I come to this realisation cuz I developed a tiny crush on my friend's roommate 😳 I've heard about him a bunch but only met him in person today and when I saw him for the first time I accidentally saw him shirtless, istg it was like something out of a fanfic 😂😂

But he's got a girlfriend and we never trust J names so in what world would anything ever happen between us?? Plus he's a bit of a normie-

But I'm very happy with how that is :) I wouldn't want anything more ❤
