This might be a dumb idea but I’m kind of fixating on the idea of self configuration as a psych/cognition concept
It’s one of those things where I feel like so many other different parts of my life full under this
Idea of cognitive enhancement via pharmacology, modeling human content consumption and their spoken language dynamics, etc
We have talked about similar ideas in the past but I think this is where our chosen passions share common ground
The idea of brain computer interfaces also lie here
Ironically this also feels very in line with GEB’s ideas about “self configuration functions” as a model of consciousness
This is deeply tied to My Eternal Golden Braid, as it is antoher great way to codify the intersection of all my interests.
My peace of mind for confidence in my own abilities is quite contingent on me believing that I have a significant degree of control to change things about myself in the future.
