A short essay on the subtle architecture of our inner life
Nintendao replied to Bindi's topic in General Discussion
I saw somewhere that the scorpion represents myriad and recursion by the way its body shape resembles a fractal tree. -

Is that why you donât bother with artificial intelligence, is youâve already got angels in your earpiece?

This was about five years ago. I look forward to seeing a similar exercise with the full-on âUPE imaging.â In the meantime hereâs something that anyone can try, no laboratory needed: Voluntarily Generated Piloerection (VGP)âthe ability to consciously trigger goosebumpsâis still considered a medical and physiological mystery. Here's why it continues to puzzle researchers: ð§ Why It âShouldnât Be Possibleâ - Goosebumps are triggered by the arrector pili muscles, which are smooth muscles controlled by the autonomic nervous systemâthe part of your body that handles involuntary functions like heartbeat and digestion - Since these muscles lack direct motor control pathways, conscious activation defies current neurophysiological models ð What We Know So Far - A 2018 study led by James Heathers examined 32 individuals with VGP and found remarkable consistency in how they described the sensation: it often starts at the back of the head or neck and spreads down the spine and arms - Most participants said it was as easy as moving an arm, requiring no emotional triggerâjust a simple mental or muscular focus - Interestingly, many of these individuals scored high on openness to experience, suggesting a possible psychological link 𧬠Still Unexplained - Despite anecdotal reports and small studies, no definitive mechanism has been identified to explain how VGP works Summary by Copilot sources https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/622399/people-can-control-their-goosebumps https://news.northeastern.edu/2018/07/30/the-curious-case-of-the-people-who-can-control-their-goosebumps/ https://www.bps.org.uk/research-digest/first-systematic-study-people-who-can-give-themselves-goose-bumps-will
