I have a strange (maybe not) view of reality. I see things as
physical. VERY physical. Including energy and thought. But not
in the way ppl usually consider physicalism (or whatever it's
called): At present, thoughts show up in my brain. They go down
the nerves via photons being passed (to simplify) from electron
to electron down the nerves, activating the muscles, which pass
the photons through the electrons between my fingers and the
keyboard, to the copper, through the computer, down the wifi to
my router, through the Internet, to your computer/phone, photons
exiting the screen into your eyes down your optic nerves into
your brain. As I see time a little oddly too, I see this as a
very physical connection. To communicate, is a physical
connection from brain to brain, no matter the conduit, even
across time. == I know. I was obsessed with it for a while. It's
just a way I see invisible strings connecting ppl who are
communicating. == When I search for a cellphone signal, I see
hooks coming from the sky and I wave my arm around with my phone
at the end of it, trying to be the worm getting caught on one of
the hooks so that i get a connection to the wider Internet. Just
how I see. == "the" conveys a sense of absoluteness to
something, whether it deserves it or not. "see" is internal for
me mostly. Little hamster wheels always spinning, splattering
paint on the inside of my mind. == Want to slow me down? Hand me
a broom and walk away. I'll just stand there not knowing what to
do with it until instructed. If I pick up the broom myself, I
know what to do with it but not if it's handed to me. ==
