Your thoughts construct patterns like scaffolding in your mind. You are really etching chemical patterns. In most cases, people get stuck in those patterns, just like grooves in a record, and they never get out of them.
When I think about why I am the way I am
why I like what I like,
why I do what I do,
and I smile and enjoy Who I am.
Doesn’t happen often, but it’s kinda nice when it does.
Back to work!
Forensics; Blood& Bloodstain Patterns ho!

Oh man… Just that the same patterns found in structures in the universe are found within your own brain activity. It’s just so cool how we have something in common with a place so gigantic, and that we are also composed from the same elements found in this gigantic realm.
but what if we are in a brain
don’t do this
Get hypnotized by this wave pendulum … seriously, I can’t look away.
A wave pendulum like this is built of equally weighted objects suspended by different (and carefully calculated) lengths of string. Released simultaneously, their differing periods (frequencies of oscillation) cause them to form a “wave” image together that cycles through all possible patterns.
It’s mind-boggling. Looking for a science fair project? This would be a great one.

i have this recurring dream about standing around in pools of water
and its probably my favorite dream. im in this building with a huge tall ceiling and huge windows and the walls are all warm colors and have intricate patterns on them, but theyre too far away to clearly observe. im just standing barefoot in the water. the pools seem to be carved naturally from dark grey rock and the water is so clear it looks like glass
and theres stuff in the water, stuff thats alive and bright colored and distantly frightening and dangerous but the water is cool and smooth and perfect and if i dont move i dont upset the ecosystem and the danger stays distant
idk every time i have this dream it starts and im like ‘shit, this dream again !! nice!!’ even though it doesn’t go anywhere and it just seems like i stand in the water for days
One day, a strange man shows you how to warp to different planets and alien cities. How? You do it by carving patterns into an avocado.
We forget our dreams for a reason: in the near future, memory enhancement therapies allow everyone to fully recall every dream they’ve ever had. Across the entire human race, disturbing patterns and implications emerge that were previously hidden by the unappreciated bliss of forgetfulness.
Intuition is real. Vibes are real. Energy doesn’t lie. Tune in.
This is actually called thin slicing. Your brain recognizes patterns from very small “slices” of information by comparing them to things you have experienced before. This all happens very quickly on a subconscious level without our conscious mind being involved. So intuition is actually really fast pattern recognition, and it can be very accurate. So yeah, if you have a gut feeling that a person or situation is not good, get the hell out. Your brain knows what’s up.
Thin slicing is also based on Schemas. Which is why all of us are racist, and sexist and abelist and transphobic on accident constantly without trying, because we grew in a racist sexist, abelist and transphobic environment and we tend to fall back on those schemas in times of stress.
Sometimes that gut feeling you have is because you’ve spent your whole life being taught to fear or be disgusted by something (schema) and you are thin slicing a situation to determine your own safety, and your schema is saying “be scared of this”
Its not a good or bad thing, its just a human thing.
Schemas keep a lot of people safe from vibes they get from people like pedophiles and rapists and murderers before they even got close to doing something bad.
But its also responsible for a decent amount of white police officers perceiving black people as hyper-strong super human monsters in times of stress and quick thinking.

Quantum computers have arrived.
First there was the mainframe, then came the personal computer, now we’ve reached a new monumental landmark in the history of technology. For the first time ever, IBM aims to bring universal quantum computers out of the lab and into the commercial realm. Projected to sift through vast possibilities and data, to choose the perfect option or discover unseen patterns, quantum computing is poised to drive a new era of innovation across industries. This means that some of the world’s most complex problems now have a chance of being solved. And as the quantum eco-system grows, a seemingly impossible kind of physics could start to make the most incredible things possible.
