Hi there if you are here you should be here. This is not like other sites. It is interesting for what it is, if you want the regular stuff go to www. the rest of the internet .com (not a real website.)

Welcome to my space

You are conscious. You are aware. You do things that are a little weird inside your head. I do things that are a lot weird inside my head, and like to talk about it. That is mostly what goes on here. If it is most important to you to never get caught doing anything weird then you should probably leave and delete your browsing history.

This is me seeing you seeing me. Nice to see you.

Psychotechnology as a functional way of operating in the world

Some people choose their path in life, others have it thrust upon them with inadequate preparation. Either way you are alone in figuring it out. Everyone one else inside your head, is actually you.

Basically you need to explore, understand, and master your own psyche if you want to do anything well. Psychotechnology is the construction of psychic phenomenon in useable ways.

By psychic phenomenon I don’t mean ghosts or mind readers (though I have some hot takes on that somewhere) I mean the stuff that happens inside your mind while you are TALKING, WALKING, WORKING, THINKING.

What is happening inside you when you see this picture? I don’t mean the physics of it, or your reaction to it, I mean watch yourself watching yourself looking at it and reacting.

If your still reading this then you are on at least some meta level of awareness. Maybe you are into it, maybe you hate it, maybe you are lost and enjoying the lostness. Whatever is going on, it’s great that you have space between you and your experience. The goal of psychotechnology is to maintain the smallest amount of space between you and your experience so you can work with it effectively.

Forklift operators have to always keep a sense of decision making between them and the task. A maneuver may look fun but is it safe? Is it epic enough to do anyway?

All complex tasks require meta awareness. Meta awareness is the awareness that you are doing something and you can at any time change your mind about how why or that you are doing it. If you lose this perspective you have lost your meta awareness. You are inside the matrix and your only hope is for a miracle. Pray that someone you will put on a pedestal will help you get out of it.

It does happen there are many of us who are creating a network and societal norms that help us regulate our meta awareness sleep wake cycles. But it’s hard, and I have my own life to live. That’s why I made a website so you could figure it out yourself more easily. Good luck, it’s not as glamorous as the movies make it seem.

But that’s enough about me what would you like to do next?
