test

gentle reminder that feelings are real but dont have the meaning we attribute to them as a society, you mean

ok @Deleted User . then that leaves us with the part about tactile feelings being transferrable to tulpas between mindscapes. (edited)

hence why science (and sometimes me, too) doesn't give a shit about your feelings

If we're forgetting the tests, how else can we perceive this?

You mean without information being transmitted physically

Correct.

by doing better tests that are run scientifically and have an unbiased 3rd party recording tangible results, of course

It's the freakiest thing, but it can happen. It's probably not real tho

The information that's transmitted is usually only confirmation of what was felt prior. (edited)

But still it can happen

also, i think i know what is happening here

10:16 PM

my guess at least

explain.

you both were imagining the other's context and actions so vividly that you believed it to actually happen

Okay, so what about that consistency?

the fact that you "knew the pose" is irrelevant, honestly

I should ask again, because, Idk what it is you want out of an answer. You said earlier you wanted the skeptical view?

10:18 PM

Confirmation Bias / Luck / Retroactive Memory

10:18 PM

Pick one

often times we can assume poses based on the social experiences we've had throughout our lives, case in point, I can imagine quite clearly the pose someone i'm taking with may be in with the proper contextual information

Why would it work for things like noticing arousal from the other party while also offline? (confirmed after me sending a message asking and it being confirmed by the other person (both ways))

So what, your availability bias about what their pose would be, matched their availability bias of what pose to pick (edited)

none

10:19 PM

literally none

uh

10:19 PM

in that case, then its literally just you imagining it

MAYBE the way they texted in Discord?

in other words, not real

okay. though why was it consistent?

10:20 PM

If that was the explanation, there'd be no consistency.

10:20 PM

right?

Maybe because they're always horny

Yeah, but I NEVER ran into it when she wasn't.

10:20 PM

and she never ran into it when I wasn't

ran into what

10:21 PM

also confirmation bias

and there were times when neither of us were likely aroused. They're probably referring to the part about using it to know when the other party is aroused.

The closest experience to this I've had is that I shared a dream with someone else lol

you remember clearly all the times it did happen but you have to think a bit to remember the times it didn't would be my guess

^ this as well

is sharing dreams an actual thing btw?

confirmation bias

I literally never ran into that, though.

It shouldn't be, orhu, but I've had it happen once

then tell me about all the times it didnt work

I'm telling you there wasn't a time it was off.

10:22 PM

I never asked and got 'no?' or anything like that.

well yeah

They messaged me after we woke up and I was just like "oh no, was that real?"

10:23 PM

And they just said "yep"

lol

I usually asked and then several minutes later she'd say 'sorry. I was masturbating' or something like that.

that sounds wacky

yes

thats fucking disgusting

10:24 PM

ngl

10:24 PM

lol

So Donovan I'm still confused as to the purpose of your question

and I'd say 'I figured'. She'd say 'how so?' and I'd say that I felt tingles around that area on my body.

goodness gracious if I ever get a girlfriend and she texts me that, we're gonna have some stuff to chat about

We've listed all the probable explanations

10:25 PM

Aside from those, some knida magic maybe

also, donovan how old are you, out of curiosity

23

ah dang

10:25 PM

potential explaination out the window

10:25 PM

maybe you both are just super horny all the time so theres never a time when it doesnt line up

10:25 PM

has she ever texted you to ask?

No... I'm often not that horny. (edited)

10:26 PM

yes.

10:26 PM

she has.

and?

it's usually true.

oh?

10:26 PM

i see you've used the word usually

I can't specifically think of a time when it wasn't

10:26 PM

I want to assume there is, but I don't remember.

id bet there is

10:26 PM

either way (edited)

10:27 PM

what is the point of this though

What does it mattterrr

10:27 PM

If you want to claim you have some telepathic link with your girlfriend I won't object

So I can say 'I already know it's not explainable scientifically because I asked people who were trying to debunk it' or otherwise have a scientific explanation. (edited)

There are scientific explanations tho

what ones?

For what? A easily explained psycological phenomenon, between two people who are in a romantic relationship?

It doesn't mean they're right but it doesn't make them wrong because you disagree with them

Well, how, though?

Various biases

How does that cause their tulpas to see each other, feel each other, etc?

also basically proven by this convo

10:29 PM

uh, they dont

I know you said confirmation bias, and I said I eliminated that possibility by doing two way tests.

like i said, you envision the other so clearly in your headspace they become "real" in it

Probably imposing each other

^^^^

yeah, but how is it ACCURATE?

In which case you'll want to stop before you freak yourself out
