Good morning, everyone. No joke, I just woke up and this was playing. It has nothing to do with what I was watching when I fell asleep. It is 0530 PM EST - Friday, February 9, 2024. I am going to go back to sleep because I still have an hour before I have to get ready for work. Have a great day everyone. If we are all on a similar journey in life - I hope and pray that we all have the greatest happiness and love in our lives.

The sleeping brain isn't exactly critical. Optogenetics tech is rooted in eugenics. They're admitting to engineering photosensitivity in brian cells using viral opsins that can transfect brain cells and allow the brain to be manipulated from outside, with light. It warrants interest, but in the most critical sense. If you're calmed by this and not filled with questions, please watch it fully awake and engage the lecture with critical thinking.

Like everyone else in the comments, I woke up to this in the morning. I’d only slept a few hours as I went to bed very late, but I had the most vivid, detailed and disturbing dream seemingly right before I woke to the words on this recording. I feel like one of the exclusive members of a mysterious phenomenon. We all have something in common, but we don’t know why.

[@sacredmoonlove6]

[@whitepouch0904]

I woke up about 30-45 minutes ago and I decided to not open my phone right away and do some task with sunlight. I just opened my KZbin channel and this is what I’m seeing 😂😂 I haven’t watched the video yet. Also, My sleeping schedule is also not in- tuned to where I’m right now which is 10 hours late. 21 Dec 2022 17:24

[@Oceansovermidnight]

The fact that everyone who wakes up to this like I did doesn't realize that your cell phone can be used to record your sleep patterns and effectively calculate after enough sleep cycle patterns recorded a correct amount of time you will sleep and when you wake up. Then KZbin can calculate which videos to play while you sleep which commercials to play and cycle through videos at any time without anyone knowing because you're asleep... computers are made to do this by people who want you to think you're in a simulation because it benefits them. It makes them feel like Gods... Quit feeding their ego.

Maybe the algo is profiling people with complex trauma and programming them to accept this radical, invasive neuroscience as positive or therapeutic. The sleeping brain isn't exactly critical and optogenetic research is rooted in eugenics.

I woke up and this was playing. I walked into the room where my computer is and even though my computer had been asleep since the night before and this was playing through the speakers. No one has the password to unlock my computer. Once I opened the computer I could not locate where this was coming from. The open tabs on my browser all showed the things I was watching previously and when I found this video, the thumbnail showed a different video from the night before but the actual page/video was this. I was so confused and when I scrolled down to see the description and instead saw all of the comments that we all woke up to this playing made my jaw drop. It is incredible and inexplicable but the absolute truth.

[@matthensle9391]

I think it might be possible that we are all waking up to this video playing because one, it is not uncommon for people to fall asleep watching YT videos, and this video starts with almost a full minute of silence. I have observed over the years that a lot of times when people fall asleep while sensory input is happening, and then all of a sudden that sensory input is halted, it somehow triggers something in the brain to wake up. When I was a kid I used to mess with this idea every time my dad fell alseep watching TV, if I was trying to wake him up by talking to him, he would not wake up, but as soon as I would hit the mute button, or if I changed the channel (initiating a silent pause while the channel flips), it's like he would instantly wake up. Orrrrr maybe we're just in a simulation.

[@ericcricket4877]

We are all here because the algorithm works. (Roughly) All of us do nothing to the user interface, all of us get the same video. All hail the AI overlords of the coming years, or you know, start understanding how all of the information on the planet is unevenly distributed to benefit the few, and take charge of your own mind; its content and attention. I'm going with the overlords, because almost nobody here's understanding how they got here.

- Optogenetics allows researchers to control specific neural circuits and determine their function by using light to activate genetically modified neurons that express light-sensitive ion channels. - Early pioneers who developed optogenetics include Edward Boyden, Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann, and Gero Miesenböck. They are being honored for their foundational work. - Optogenetics provides unprecedented cellular and circuit-level control over neural activity with high temporal and spatial precision using light. - It has revolutionized neuroscience by allowing researchers to establish causal links between neural activity patterns and behaviors/disease states. - Applications include mapping neural circuits involved in processes like learning, memory, emotion, motor control, addiction, etc. - The goal is also to use optogenetics to develop new therapies by controlling dysfunctional neural circuits underlying neurological and psychiatric disorders.

[@MrEStreaming]

To define dysfunctional and disorder sheds light on the causal links of those established who apply it…

[@yogaecology]

Eons back the scientists, called Rishis, have mapped the entire mind and gave people techniques of switching the entire brain on by going past the 5 basic senses. The modern days scientists are searching for the external treatments. Optogenetics is indeed a cutting-edge field that explores how light can be used to manipulate neural activity, offering potential insights into brain function and disorders. On the other hand, the practices of yoga, as elucidated by ancient Rishis, involve holistic techniques encompassing physical postures, breath control, meditation, and spiritual insight. These practices aim to awaken higher states of consciousness and promote well-being on multiple levels-physical, mental, and spiritual. While optogenetics focuses on external interventions to influence neural activity, yoga stresses internal methods for self-regulation and transformation.

When stuff is proven and demonstrated to groups of people then you know your right sometimes and 'repeatability' that modern science demands is totally unfair and just used as a wsy to keep the status quo.. We knew retro causality was possible wayy before the nobel prize last year for example, and had 3 people witness a object travel 5 miles in an instant using nothing but belief and peoples conscious awareness of an items location.. We also would repeatedly communicate in silence much to the confusion of our witnesses and were able to astral project through an extra dimension that i would visualize as my ceiling vanishing and then we would go out thru the sky still with my body in a seated position my friend would say it felt like a rollercoaster climbing a slope :) we were doing a version of the cia gateway method but we taught ourselves totally by accident we had no spiritual beliefs at all it just gradually escalated as a result of trusting each other fully and following our perception bit by bit, you gradually learn to spot truth and reality even in what would be considered hallucination by some, theres a different feeling for memories and truth than dreams and imagination or deception and this gets easier and easier the more you practise also both trying to view the same thing can help improve accuracy greatly too as it allows comparing the data and quickly spotting all the matches this helps improve your self confidence too.. I learned the cia method thing existed like last year it was something id never ever looked into just accidentally taught myself and friend and wasnt until like 15 20yrs later that i saw a video explaining the gateway method and I was like nooo way theyr using slightly different methods to achieve the same things we used to do!

Now imagine if you were to target content to people with malicious intent to radicalize some group, or cause misalignment within some group. The possibilities are endless, and almost nobody realizes how big of a problem this already is. Have a good end of the world y'all.

@@scotterickson6332 The algorithm doesn't choose anything. You choose and it responds _algorithmically_. You arrived here through a series of inputs and the output is this video, you're it's audience. A lightswitch doesn't choose to turn on the lights no matter how much math you put between it and the bulb.

[@ericcricket4877]

@@scotterickson6332 The simple lack of responsibility is the reason these kinds of systems run the show, not the other way around. Nobody took over, we gave it up. You gave the information necessary for the math to optimize for output in the form of suitable content for maximizing attention retention. If it's not interesting, is it something else? Is it giving you other emotional states? It doesn't optimize for fun, it optimizes for this; us spending time here. Lots of people reached this video by giving null output, or rather, letting the videos play. That's an unusual local minimum, and it's unusual because it doesn't get data to optimize with, but it's working under the same principles regardless. Have a good one pal.

to all you neuroscienticists remember the most important in human is the spiritual part of us, the consciousness which we;ve disconnected from(root of all disease)... And the nervous system is important part of this(spiritual anatomy). And the real brain Messing around with things you dont understand in an attempt to understand would be ok if it wasn't someones nervous system. You will damage things more important than you can comprehend.

the recent comments about falling asleep and waking up to this video is comforting. im not alone lol

[@MAD2CANS]

Had a dream I got arrested for smoking in a public place, was understandably furious, but obeyed and was taken to the station. While I was being booked I spoke to another officer about the ridiculousness of this situation and she sympathised, but told me I was going to be here for at least a day. In absolute anger I pointed a finger gun at the officer who arrested me and 'pulled the trigger' At that moment 6 shots discharged from another place, but I couldn't tell where from. One of them hitting the officer who arrested me in the shoulder. I go into panic mode and get myself out of the room and observe what happens from it, but don't run because I realise how bad that'll look. They discover a bomb in a rucksack and I gtfo of there into like a panic shelter type area. The sympathetic officer taps me to get my attention, and starts throwing darts at a dartboard 50ft away. Completely misses the first 2, because its so far away. She gives me the third, I aim high to compensate for the distance, throw and the moment the dart leaves my hand I wake up. 3 minutes into this video.
