midwit-lightweb.bsky.social @midwit-lightweb.bsky.social · 26/09/2026From the position where I only care to know if I am breathing out or in, the valence of everything changes. I can be curious and unthreatened, and somehow the distance implied by occupying such a basic judging function enables a deeper engagement with what is happening 000

midwit-lightweb.bsky.social @midwit-lightweb.bsky.social · 13/09/2026If we cannot prove consciousness exists in any way then we must conclude given our wondrous apriori gift of knowledge that it is the world which does not exist since something that is incompatible with consciousness cannot exist. I solved it and I only needed edibles and hypomania. 000
