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.

[He's going to be purposefully vague, because what's the fun in just telling people things? Besides, Rose needs to pick up her damn laundry. Slobs don't get backstory.]
no subject
But until such evidence is actually presented, it's only fair for me to remain firmly seated on the fence as far as this subject goes.
[who wants the backstory of a bathroom hog and thermostat abuser anyway?]
no subject
[He'll cooperate when it's useful to do so, but probably not before. Gotta preserve some of the mystery in their roommate relationship, after all.]
no subject
But it's good to know you aren't judgemental.
[Who needs actual bonding and learning about one another when you can just deflect and make subtle dirty jokes instead?]
no subject
Like, I mean, I'll judge the shit outta you for bad fashion choices, but I don't care what kinky stuff you're into.
[If they're living together, they may as well get that out there.]
no subject
Those poor women.
My heart truly goes out to them.

I could certainly do my best to make them feel better.
