I really appreciate Hank was talking about gestalt learning or processing of the brain. I have kiddo who is a gestalt learner. Kids like that need to have repetition of everything just to be able to talk better and learn at the same rate of their peers. Once you start doing that, they thrive. My kiddo was scoring at 15 months old even though they are actually 2 1/2 years old. Now they are scoring closer to 2 years old. All because in the three or four months since we found out that they are gestalt learners, we have been doing everything on repeat for them. Now they talk and do more things for their actual age range.

Nope. you can't trick me. No way I'm going to stand in front of a mirror in the dark.

[@dianapennepacker6854]

It is always fun to do when on some mentally changing substances. AKA DRUGGZ 💉 💊. Crazy how we see the same things. Sleep paralysis. Ugh. I've definitely seen the hag, and thought she was going to kill my ex who I was madly in love with at the time. Couldn't move, scream, or do anything to alert her. Then the biatch came around the bed at me, slowly, but I heard the footsteps. Well then it came over me, and put its hand into my chest, grabbed my heart, and I FELT IT. It hurt like you would think, and if squeezed. As it squeezed I started losing consciousness till finally in a nano second I regained all control. I was straining so desperately that I managed to literally catapult into the air like a martial artist from the laying position, off the bed, while doing the most insane yell ever. A yell of fear, panic, and someone wanting to fight back desperately. It was an absolutely scam, guttural sceam, and nearly gave my ex a heart attack herself as she launched up too. Only later I learned what the hell it was. It is scary, because it might as well have been real with how my body reacted. Anyway it is sleep paralysis, and the figure I saw is something very common with it. In fact the name of it is a hag called Baba Yaga from what I've read. Why do humans from different cultural back grounds who've never heard of it see it? Beyond me. I've also saw a black eyed kid which is common, and that is a different story. That is something pure evil, and I don't ever want to see it again, even if it is my brain messing with me. True evil, and you feel it.

[@CritterKeeper01]

I tried the mirror thing. Went in the bathroom, turned off the lights so my tablet was the only light source, and stared directly at my face it the mirror. It was actually surprisingly quickly that I saw my face disappear! If I kept my eyes completely still, it stayed gone, but the instant they shifted even a little, it was back! Having tried a sensory deprivation tank mostly to see if I'd see any visual hallucinations, I found this effect quite cool!

I would say that part of it that creates the image of monsters and other creatures maybe related to the way our brains create images from like wood grain, clouds, etc. and how it would be advantageous for survival to passively notice those things when they could actually be a well camouflaged predator your prey item.

[@SevenDayGaming]

I tried the mirror one, my vision started "swimming" with phosphenes after a bit like it normally does in darkness, by which I mean I was seeing swirls of colors and shapes and my face kept getting blacked out by them on a regular pattern despite the lighting being very consistent (just a little red led on my trimmer's charger), but I didn't see anything I wouldn't have seen looking at my bedroom ceiling in the dark. Maybe I'm just weird.

[@creaslin]

Maybe the room your mirror is in is too dark. I think you have to be able to see your reflection at least a little for it to work.

[@DavidPashley]

The point of the Thatcher picture was that you flipped the mouth and eyes and then turned the picture upside down and we don't feel the picture is weird. It's only when the picture is turned the right way up we realise how wrong the face is.

[@BytebroUK]

Re the 'sense of self'. I vaguely remember being told[1] that Kant said something like "If I thought that my horse was capable of the concept of self, I would dismount, walk by his side, and call him 'friend'". If all you clever people see that I have mis-attributed or mis-remembered that, do please let me know! 1. College was a loooong time ago, sorry!

[@anyascelticcreations]

The sad thing is most people do believe that animals have a sense of self, even if the people don't admit that they do. The sad part of that is that most people are also okay with having slaves. Otherwise they wouldn't have the dogs they refer to as their children tied at the neck and having to obey their every command. Much like how people bridle, bit, saddle, and ride a horse that they call to them by name. (Before the trolls get too excited, no, I'm not vegan. I'm just willing to admit that we are enslaving and eating sentient beings.)

[@pheart2381]

To me its ridiculous to say animals dont have a sense of self. If my cat for example had no sense of self why would he sulk if his blanket isnt straightened out? Why would he get cross if his meal is served late? Most animal behaviour,even territorial behaviour is based on an animals awareness of other animals and their relation to itself. If my cat didnt know his existance was a thing he wouldnt care about possibly being eaten by a predator.

[@JoJoZaka]

​@@pheart2381having preferences isn't a sense of self. a newborn also doesn't like being left unfed and uncomfortable but they are yet to actually develop anything beyond basic instincts

[@BytebroUK]

@@pheart2381 Totally get that, but it is easy to... whadda they call it... "anthropomorphise" animal behaviours that seem similar to human-like behaviour. And/but also, those can be 'learned' behaviours. I once had a rescue cat who was formerly a feral; he had *zero* clue about human expectations... if he was happy he'd snuggle, and if he wasn't he'd bite. And even the snuggle was "You may pet me for 30 seconds (and counting). When my tail begins to twitch you are about to be bitten. Respect my space, human!"

[@rinpaisys]

9:22 I feel like there could be something connecting with this sort of thing and the type of body dysmorphia seen in ED’s that causes the person to literally see their image in mirrors and pictures as much much larger than they are in reality. That visual misperception of one’s physical body, even having experienced it in my youth with an ED, it’s still so strange to me.

The Thatcher monster is TO SCARY

[@Zappygunshot]

About that 'skyfish' thing - you don't always need a camera to spot this phenomenon. A somewhat old street light will often be powered using an aging tube lamp, which may be flickering at a slightly lower frequency than normal. This is because the light in TL tubes is caused by a chemical reaction that happens when you ignite a spark at one end of the tube, which then moves through to the other end and dies down, causing a flash. Hook that up to AC power, and the alternating current will cause enough flashes per second that your eyes can't detect the dark moments. However, while the reaction on paper doesn't use up any of the gas (only the electrical energy you put in), the stuff inside does still degrade over time. Eventually, enough of the reactive gas has degraded that not every spark ignites a flash, first reducing the frequency (the light will appear to dim at first); then it'll noticeably start to flicker; until eventually there is so little reactive material left that it only turns on sporadically (the classic 'broken tube light' think where it glows on one end and with seemingly Herculean effort maybe forces out another single flash before resetting). Anyway, back to the skyfish. If you find an old street lamp that is flickering at juuuust the right frequency, your brain will still fool you into thinking you're seeing a continually-lit area, _unless_ there's an object that moves through the light. Because that part of the image isn't constant, your brain can't just fill in the blanks like it usually does. Instead, you'll see simultaneous images of the moving thing - like your hand or in this case a moth - in the positions it was at when the lamp briefly illuminated it. It's almost the same effect as changing the exposure time or framerate of a camera, except it's an easily-reproduced piece of evidence that your brain likes to mess with your perception of reality. No, I'm not sure why our brains do that, I think it's some kind of weird hobby or something. Incidentally, those kinds of barely-perceptible frequencies are really unsettling in their own right. Because your brain can't always keep up with the entirely unnatural means of illuminating an image, you'll sometimes catch the weird flickering in your peripheral vision, but when you try to look there's nothing there because it's the centre of your vision that most of the brain image correction stuff happens. It can make it feel like there's something moving just out of view, or make you feel uneasy, dizzy or a little nauseous, at least for me. It wouldn't surprise me if flashing in that general frequency range can trigger paranoia, agitation or epileptic episodes for many people.

[@kharris2393]

Just fyi that you probably shouldn't do the mirror thing if you experience anxiety, depression, or have any kind of body dysphoria! I know my brain can find mirrors pretty unsettling even in the light

I wonder if the mirror thing has any links to dysphoria or dysmorphia. I can tell you that I feel like everyone time I look in the mirror I look like a complete stranger and have since I can remember.

[@msjkramey]

Do you fall under the trans umbrella or see yourself as a different size?

[@mebreevee1997]

This might actually be a case of Prosopagnosia, which is basically facial amnesia. It can apply even to your own face. Does it happen to anyone else or just when you see yourself?

[@anyascelticcreations]

I was thinking the same thing. Things, actually. It sounded a lot like what someone with body dysmorphia might experience. But the fact that you've not recognized your own face in the mirror your whole life makes me think of face blindness, or the inability to recognize or remember faces. I have partial face blindness. I do eventually recognize people, but usually more from their voice, the way they walk, etc. I did find that after cutting my long, red hair off leaving only 2" of partial gray I no longer recognized my own appearance in the mirror. My hair is long again by now, but I have been experiencing a lack of recognition of my reflection this past week. I haven't yet figured out why. Anyway, is it just your own image that you don't recognize, or do you not recognize other people's faces either? And do you recognize yourself in photos, or is that unfamiliar to you too? I think your answers to those questions could point you in the right direction as far as why.

​@@msjkrameyis this how you read? Or people in general? To me it's like a voice, but with no sound, like the incoming information after the sound has already been processed and removed. So it's not mine, nor the writers or characters voice, yet still attributed to the character that is speaking in a novel for example. And I "see" things happening when I hear, tell, or read something. Or just imagine. Not like hallucinations, but a movie playing in my head in parallel to reality. Like when you remember walking through the house when you're trying to find your keys. So it is imagination, but I don't control it. I hear/read/.. it? I see it! With details. No choice. Sometimes I even blush when "seeing" some private stuff, and beg for pardon. It's really not intentional, more like opening a door without thinking and finding out someone forgot to lock it for reasons. (Remembering and blushing again. Enough for now...)
