Before you read this part, be sure to have read everything before this post in this thread, because I build off of ideas represented there.
including the idea "IRs" = Invariant Representations.
And currently this is really really dense, I'll have to uncondense it later, but I just wanted to get this all out so I would not forget it.
And I'll be able to explain accessing higher consciousness here soon, basically it means just having your thalamus focus your conciousness at the top of the heirachy and not letting IRs form/settle/harden at the top of it up there, because you constantly keep your conciousness on it, (focusing your conciousness on an IR keeps that IR open to being reprogrammed, and then when your consciousness is focused away from that IR then that IR can settle down into the subconscious so that it becomes an automatic skill/habit ) so you don't form habits (habits=IR=skills) which control your overall behavior at that higher level, so that you prevent yourself from being influenced by the external environment without your awareness, so that for example, you can always keep your cool if someone is trying to scare/intimidate you, or you can always be aware if a new ping of fear comes in,
or that you can instantly make yourself happy because being happy is caused when you have all the IRs alligned in your brain to handle all input/sensory information, because pleasure happens in your brain when existing IRs are strengthened or created, because creating new IRs means that you will be able to survive better, because you can predict your environment better, and so your brain wants to reward you for being able to survive better, because that's evolution baby, and that's why you become board, because there is a lack of pleasure that was once there, because you no longer need to create new IRs because you've already formed all the IRs that you'd ever need to handle all situations, so that's why your favorite song finally gets old, that new video game just gets too boring, and why my friend's favorite quote on facebook says "You have to play a game you can't win no matter how hard you try. This moment is the only thing that matters." and why you're always going to want more crap, unless you can figure out a hobby, like starting a business, that can always build on the lower order IRs, but can always get more and more complex and never repetitive, instead of getting some stable easy job, but not too crazy though, because if it is too chaotic, then the situations would be totally different and your brain has to waste energy in creating totally new IRs constantly, because there are no lower order IRs to build off of, because they do not generalize to the new situation, so that it just becomes too stressful and it really starts to hurt, which is why i'm going to continue to write this instead of working on my Asian language paper, because that totally has nothing to do with this stuff, and would take waaayyy to much energy to focus on write now, and would totally screw up this streak here,
And that's why I'm getting that burst of pleasure that happens when that light bulb goes off in your head, is because you've finally created that higher order IR (= Brilliant Idea), that merges all your lower order IRs (thoughts) into something coherent which just makes everything click
awesome eh?
