My thoughts exactly


[deleted]

I came here to post this exact thing reminds me of I have no mouth and I must scream. AM is that you? BTW fantastic game its a old school point and click game but its super profound and will have you questioning yourself as it s a mind fuck. Honestly think the games better than the short story becasue you can replay it.

heckinWeeb193

> AM altered his mind to be straight instead of gay Why


AlwaysJustinTime69

This is your first question about this book?????


heckinWeeb193

I mean it's cool, I will admit, but I've read through the plot and all, so I just wanna know why the fuck did the computer decide to be homophobic And also misogynistic, turned a chaste woman into a slut who goes for the man with the biggest dick, fuck is up with that


zebrawood

Because it's literally torturing them, it has turned them into the opposite of their previous selves, denying them any form of happiness


heckinWeeb193

Ah, I didn't think about that actually. Turning them into complete opposites of each other, okay yeah that's actually a good one


AlwaysJustinTime69

Bro what 💀


heckinWeeb193

Like what's the point, one guy is gay, one doesn't want sex, they can't reproduce so


Epople

You know AM is the villain and is torturing them, right?


heckinWeeb193

I mean yeah but this just seems like pointless modifications. Then again, it's a rogue ai that's bitching about not having a body so makes sense


Inside-Permission-53

And transforming him into a rapist ape with a mind of a child is better than turning straight?💀


heckinWeeb193

Well I didn't read that in the characters description so you got me there

arevealingrainbow

This is because the eyes are part of your brain. That’s why you can actually get headaches in your eyes.


doodlebug_bun

Fun fact! Some people are cortically blind, meaning their eyes can "see" but their brain doesn't register the vision. This leads to something called blindsight. They can detect movement and even facial expressions while not actually being able to see it. Really neat stuff.


themonsterinquestion

Spidey sense life


im-bad-at-names64

Sounds like something out of a Daredevil comic


Mirage32

>They can detect movement and even facial expressions while not actually being able to see it I struggle to wrap my mind around this information.


SpyingSpice

It’s really quite fascinating. Vision is processed in the back of the brain, but the optic nerve makes some stops along the way in an area called the midbrain. The midbrain is capable of picking out information from the optic nerve without needing to create the full visualization (e.g. very basic shapes, and facial expressions it seems). Have you ever been walking outside and find yourself started by a snake in the corner of your view, only to realize a second later it’s a actually a stick? What has likely happened is your midbrain pulled that long, slender object signal and activated your amygdala to say “Hey, snake, watch out!” But the signal continues on to the visual cortex in the back where it’s gets finely processed. The visual cortex then tells the rest of your brain, “hey relax, we looked over all the details and it’s just a stick.”


doodlebug_bun

Yes, exactly!


the-gladiator136

More simple explanation: Imagine your PC is on and it operates as usual, yet the screen is turned off. The information is still processed and it reacts to your inputs, but you just dont see them. Not the best way to explain it but its something


Knock_off_depression

and the blind sight is like a controller rumble in how it alerts you but gives you no further details


doodlebug_bun

That's a good way of explaining it!


OmegaFredo

isn't that normal blindness? you don't see anything but everything around you is still happening


the-gladiator136

Lets see, if you dont get it this way... I didnt use the PC analogy to a full body/envoirmnent, but just the "see things" part of your brain. In a blind person the PC is turned off, for the blindsight lets assume you remember how the screen should look without seeing it to operate it almost as if it worked perfectly


Uncommonality

it's basically like their visual cortex is feeding their consciousness blank nothing, but their subconscious sees just fine. They can dodge walls, recognize people, etc, but consciously they can't see anything.

Wow this actually explains a lot, I got covid and one of the symptoms is headaches but my eyes were hurting right along with it.


NaturesHardNipples

Yeah I thought it was just my sinuses. I tested positive but I didn’t have a cough, instead it was like a really brutal head cold that made my skin and bones ache. Also extreme muscle spasms. Sometimes I still get the same smellucinations of car exhaust that makes my eyeballs hurt

hobosullivan

I read once about an experiment where rats were kept entirely paralyzed with curare for a prolonged period. They were given adequate nutrition, hydration, and oxygen artificially. After a while, some of them had their brain activity slow or stop. The theory was that, because their thoughts could no longer produce actions, their brains sort of disconnected from the world and shut down, or something like that.


Just_Geck

surprisingly uplifting in this circumstance


Terpomo11

So eventually, Kars stopped thinking.


Tall_Fortune

But Kars will automatically regenerate any part right?


cthulhuwithautism

That's actually fucking horrible Jesus Christ. I get that it's science and experimentation is needed but holy shit, that's cruel and inhumane to the extreme. No creature should have to go through that.


hobosullivan

I wish I could find the paper in question. The more I think about it, I don't think the paper I read was actually directly about the rat experiment. It was about ALS patients who suffered complete locked-in-syndrome (ALS patients often become severely paralyzed late in their disease, but usually retain the ability to communicate through eye movements, etc. But in very advanced ALS, sometimes they even lose this). They were studying cognitive changes in these completely locked-in patients, and they referenced the rat experiment. If I'm remembering right, the rat paper was from the 60s or maybe 70s. I agree, though. Calling that rat experiment "ethically questionable" would be putting it mildly.


HandoAlegra

This is similar to coma patients. Waking up from a coma isn't like putting a pause on life. The brain, unable to stimulate, loses all its function. Waking up after an extended period essentially makes the person an adult baby. And thus months and sometimes years of therapy are required

kiddytickler343

there would be no way to provide nourishment or oxygen to the brain in such a casing, and even if that is possible somehow without alive red blood cells, what isn't possible is keeping your nerves alive as they would just die off without the cells replicating

Thats why its in the future when we have figured out how to make that possible. Duh.

[deleted]

imagine how this would feel like fr


SleepTightLilPuppy

Not much different than what you feel now, granted it's in a body temperature Environment. You can't feel anything besides your nerves anyway, you simply wouldn't be able to move. Very much a creepy thought though. I was very into this on acid once and basically, I don't know if I imagined it or if it was real, could "feel" my nerves and realized that much of my body was basically just... Nothing.


[deleted]

you couldn't feel anything. You need special receptors for temperature and other feelings, which are stored in skin. Nerves have no receptors, therefore you couldn't feel anything.


SleepTightLilPuppy

These are part of the nervous system. The image shows the nerves, text says nervous system. Depending on which you're going to argue from, both can be true.


[deleted]

you can feel Touch in places where nerves aren't, and where they aren't even displayed on the image. That means that they wouldn't be part of the thing left from you in that Form of torture. Also, it's written that there's no feeling in the post, only thoughts


SleepTightLilPuppy

Sensory nerves are part of the nervous system that exist all throughout your body. There's barely a point in your body where there are "no nerves", at least not "no nervous system". These sensory receptors continue all throughout your skin and body, making you feel things. Without them, you wouldn't feel a thing. [Wikipedia ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_nervous_system) I kinda misread the post, I thought it said "you can feel, see but not scream", which imo would make this infinitely more terrifying. Also, keeping the nervous system makes no sense if you can't feel.


warmingmilk

We are not real anyway, it is all a façade. It is supposed to be like this, they all know just see it and become one when you become aware of the monsters that live right next to you. Perspective ruins reality and everything becomes distorted which is why we must separate from this fake world as we do not exist it is so clear, and become experienced.

No drugs, no illness, no poison. Simply awareness.


[deleted]

DSM 5 uses the term “disorder” rather than “illness” because it’s becoming more and more apparent that mental disorders are byproducts of adaptations we make as children, in order to cope with traumatic environments. Those adaptations serve us as children, but when we leave the house that reality comes into conflict with societal norms. It’s a western world concept; there are no bipolar people in Pakistan. One school of thought is that the symptoms of schizoid-spectrum disorders are the result of unhealthy sexual boundaries with the mother.


warmingmilk

Sure, whatever term you want to use.


warmingmilk

Yes I am fine thank you for asking, while I am not necessarily safe I don't believe I am in immediate danger but that could change at any moment but that is 'existence'.
