The Human Brain

>How easily can we be fooled?
Stupidly easy.

>What loopholes exist in our logic and senses?
Placebo and Nocebo, the Mandela effect, your pic, the face in the mirror effect, phantom pain, self-induced hallucinations, optical illusions, and more.

>Are our brains paranormal or are paranormal things explainable through our less than perfect brains?
The second one.

Theres a conspiracy about this being used. The ventral workings of the brain and distortion by emphasizing on sentimental affinity. Supposedly Russia wanted to orchestrate on everyone by putting their leaders elsewhere. And they prepared an apocalyptical end time story by switching up sentient consciousness of citizens. Meaning Russians will believe they are Americas and vice versa. So if America were to use some bombs elsewhere they'd actually be bombing themselves.

can someone explain what the gif is? im too scared to stare at celebrities

This must be the most stupidly convoluted conspiracy I've ever seen. And I've tea d David Icke.

if you stare at the cross, the photos will flash on the side, changing to normal photos of various celebrities. as you stare at the cross their faces start distorting and looking fucky.

Brains are an organ, easily mapped and manipulated. Consciousness however, is what can be considered paranormal.

>>18335149
Very easily it seems. Cognitive dissonance is rife in society, hence why we see the conspiratorial and spiritual themes all over x, it's all similar in origin. A rejection of rational and the burden of proof in place of reductionist view points and circular logic. I think it's particularly evident in cults of personality (like that of LRH in Scientology) because socially people are primed to follow, to invest in something perceivably bigger than them.

Implying consciousness isn't spontaneously generated as a network function of thalamic networks. Just because we don't understand it doesn't infer it's not subject to a mechanical aetiology

>>18335379
What? Non sensical idiocy here

>>18335410
It's an optical illusion where if you keep your eyes focused on the cross in the middle, as the gif cycles through pictures of celebrities your brain tricks your eyes into seeing them as deformed caricatures.

>>18335310
The Mandela effect only shows that similar deficiencies in memory and similar schema and bias exist across multiple people. Anyone who believes in that particular brand of pseudo-science nonsense is almost certainly a compromised person.

>>18335149
>How easily can we be fooled?
VERY. It is very easy to trick the human brain.

>What loopholes exist in our logic and senses?
Constantly searching for patterns and often finding them where they don't actually exist, it's really easy to exploit (just look at casinos)

>Are our brains paranormal or are paranormal things explainable through our less than perfect brains?
The latter. Again, looking for patterns and finding them where they don't actually exist.

Let's hivemind the fuck outta this shit. Which celebrity mutation do you see that instantly freaked you out the most that you had to actually focus on which one it was in the gif? My pic was Keira Knightley (nightmare fuel loaded with carbs)

After ODing a few months ago I went into cardiac arrest. Was an atheist but no longer am. Our conscienceNess is controlled and it essentially unicks after death. We're in a matrix and you meet higher beings immediately post life. Idk why we are controlled like this or what the end goal is. I may kill myself to reach this heightened state without having to wait this trial of life out

There's way too much information to process reality every second. Instead your brain creates an approximation of reality and periodically updates and corrects it with new information. Your brain's approximation is usually fairly good but can be disrupted by unexpected or unusual situations or stimuli.

Anybody who's ever taken LSD, psylocybin mushrooms, or mescaline knows this instinctively.

When you stop perceiving things with your brain and experience them directly with your spirit it can be overwhelming.
