    Don’t forget the: “I’m the greatest philosopher who ever lived” and “I use visions and astral-states to crack my games” parts

      If the second one is true, even in a subjective sense, I’m honestly just impressed. I mean, if it works, it works.

      “I’m the greatest philosopher who ever lived”

      lmao. this reminds me of a dude on r/chemistry that was 19, first year uni dropout, a stalker, psychoanalysis enjoyer and face on dick pic poster, that claimed that he’s about to cure cancer and rabies by pulling some random molecule out of his ass and claiming it will definitely work. mind you, drug development takes years to decades for specialist teams with med chemists, biologists and so on in the loop, who know what they are doing and have 10s to 100s of millions in funding, at minimum. then he tried to get to this molecule in his homelab, while not using any PPE, with history of him getting poisoned by allyl bromide and uranium previously (the latter by licking some mineral), damaging some of his living room with acids, and later giving up after three or four steps in, all while asking really basic questions that he would know answer to if he bothered to go through first organic chemistry lab at uni (usually at 2nd year). so, you see, he focused on the easiest part, the one that can be subcontracted to CRO. he got sitewide ban after calling for genocide of everyone who doesn’t recognize his genius, because obviously it’s close minded professors who are in conspiracy to suppress him

      then two weeks ago he made another account, still going about his bs “miracle cure”, doxxing himself in drivel filled medium post before presumably giving up chemistry and focusing on psychoanalysis. i guess frequent breaks from reality won’t bother him anymore

      She unironically needs to get help. I can’t imagine what she’s like IRL if she’s this unhinged over something so small in the grand scheme of things.

      Well, astral projection is real, though I don’t know the validity in using it to crack computer games

          Of course it’s real. Have a wander through the Reddit astral projection subreddit (I’d point you to the Lemmy one but it’s not populated well).

          It’s a deep topic, with various theories how it works however it’s not lucid dreaming, which is also real, of coursez and anyone can do both. There are many guides how to, if you read the faqs on the subreedits.

          It’s as though you told someone from an undeveloped country that electric cars are on the roads and they said, “what? Electric cars?”

          Reality is a lot stranger than you think.

          I’d recommend you listen to Mark Gober’s podcast “where is mine” - start with the NDE one (NDEs are also, very, very real, and have been documented since Roman times)

            Ehhh, looking into this a bit it seems like “Astral Projection” and “Near Death Experiences” are paranormal explanations for a category of ‘Out of Body Experiences’ that aren’t very well understood. I guess it’s fine to say that those experiences are real, but those specific terms seem rooted in esotericism rather than science.

            Did research on oobe advance past Monroe or are we still operating on vibes and “trust me bro”-based meditation techniques?
