Hey. This isn't one of those 'let's all get to know each other and be best friends' posts. I wanna know what you guys know about telepathy.
[Aoi holds a picture up to the camera. 'Picture' is probably a generous description.]
First, anyone know what this picture is?
Snake, before you even start, I fuckin' KNOW you can't see it, so I'm not asking you.
Don't cheat, just tell me what you think it's supposed to be.
If you're not into pictures, tell me about Archetypes from your world. There was a psychologist on Earth who noticed the same ideas pop up in various cultures that had no contact with one another. I want to see if that collective unconscious spans worlds too. So, I dunno, talk to each other about the legends and fairy tales and holidays and shit from your worlds and lemme know what common threads you find
The Follow-Up Video
[A couple of days later, when it seems like the majority of the people who are gonna weigh in have done so, Aoi makes a follow-up post.]
Alright, I know you all think I was tryin' to psychoanalyze you with the picture I showed you the other day, but trust me, you guys aren't that interesting. There's a right answer to the picture. I'll show you.
[He holds up the original picture and the solution to the screen.]
Some crackpot psychologist did an experiment to test the transference of knowledge through unseen means. He showed a picture like this to a population of people, and the distribution of answers was pretty random, same as you guys'. Then he broadcast the answer to that population. When he went to a to a remote location that had no contact with anyone from Population A. When he showed the same picture, there was a statistically significant increase in the percentage of people who knew the answer.
Even though nobody had consciously shared the information, because more people knew it, the answer was somehow transmitted. So that's the theory of Morphic Resonance.

looks like a face carved into the bark of a pretty willow tree!!!!! :)
i dont really know what kind of legends you mean
but of telepathy, well!
i think you should play carefully with that

And no, you're wrong about the pic, but it seems like it made you happy, so you do you.
no subject
how so
if you do not mind me asking, that is!
i thought these things were supposed to tell you about the person who is answering
there is a definite answer??? :o
no subject
Yeah, this isn't an inkblot test. There's an imagine in the picture. Once you see it, you can't unsee it, kind of like an optical illusion. But it is telling seeing what kind of answers people come up with when they don't know. I'm learning loads.
no subject
dude!!!!
i am pretty willing to listen if you want to talk
that is pretty interesting
is this still a psychology thing??
that isnt my kind of academic i suppose but it is very interesting :)
what kind of stuff have you learned?
no subject
That's the basics of the experiment. It's more pseudoscience than actual psychology, and there's a good change that testing bias accounted for some of the variation between trials. But if it were true, it could be pretty useful, right?
