  1. I saw somewhere that the scorpion represents myriad and recursion by the way its body shape resembles a fractal tree.

    Oh crap they’re onto you!

    Field of gold and field of dreams From the mountains to the sea Do not grasp too tightly And obtain victory

    Is that why you don’t bother with artificial intelligence, is you’ve already got angels in your earpiece?

    This was about five years ago. I look forward to seeing a similar exercise with the full-on “UPE imaging.” In the meantime here’s something that anyone can try, no laboratory needed: Voluntarily Generated Piloerection (VGP)—the ability to consciously trigger goosebumps—is still considered a medical and physiological mystery. Here's why it continues to puzzle researchers: 🧠 Why It “Shouldn’t Be Possible” - Goosebumps are triggered by the arrector pili muscles, which are smooth muscles controlled by the autonomic nervous system—the 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 🔍 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 trigger—just a simple mental or muscular focus - Interestingly, many of these individuals scored high on openness to experience, suggesting a possible psychological link 🧬 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
