I often wonder I would suspect the closer they are to mathematical neurophenomenological models, the more universal they tend to be for people that are often inhabiting somewhat deconstructed state Or state that was never really constructed by pretrained evolution's softwares like the social simulations we tend to construct The stronger the fuzzy statistical or implementational isomorphism is between two conscious agents' neurophenomenological states, the more likely they will synchronized and feel mutual human relationship interconnectedness Some say strong human relationships is more fundamental basic need than physiological needs in Maslow hiearchy of needs We went from social coherence having pretty stable nonequlibrium steady states in villages stabilized by local culture and rituals to internet age that is constantly penetrating any attempts at stable cultural attractors by constant information overload from everywhere, leading to inability of individuals to synchronize in this extremely technilogically interconnected and also culturally polarized world From (pre)modernism to postmodernism Though i love the attempts at creating stable cultural frameworks by the synthesis of all good from all concrete frameworks into a metaframework (metamodern approaches) Psychedelics and deconstructive meditation helps a ton to get out of concrete local minima, which can lead to belief network's constant unstability, which can generate both random concrete processes battling with eachother dissonanly not unified by their intrinsic similarity or some top down cybernetic controller leading to unpleasant mental chaos, or it can lead to empty mind full of freedom and nonsymbolic free symmetrical consonant flow of isness that buddhism and taoism loves Another attempt is taking the great amount of conflicting processes from various cultural frameworks and try to stabilize them by creating s metaframework in metamodern synthetizing integrative ways, unify rational and spiritual enlightenement, unify various scientific schools of thought with unifying various spiritual schools of thought, or creating a metatheory on top of them, creating this global stabilization of concrete belief networks' topologies interconnected by general correlations See it all using the free energy principle fully general mathematical framework for formalizing any information processing system?

Do we need stronger positive influence in the most impactful causal destructive parts of our system? Use the language of power and money to transform psychopathic governing structures into altruistic ones? We take so many to us deeply important human connections for granted and when they start dissapearing we start to see their true worth. Be grateful, compassionate, connect, love. It fascinates me how people on the death bed tend to care much less about how much money and work they did, but that they should have strenghtened the human connections with those they love the most that might be gone already leading to strong griefing. Taky jsem zkoumal agency, přeposílám z konverzace: "Great talk about how limited metacognitive agency over thought and preferences is implemented in the mind [Conversation between Mark Solms, Chris Fields, and Mike Levin 2 - YouTube](https://youtu.be/1S4jaYjuzm0) aka the ability to decide what your next thought and preferences will be is limited by our phenotype (the set of observable characteristics or traits of an organism (in this case of our mind)) emerging from genetic and environmental influences Technically Big five model of personality or Jung's archetypes are describing phenotypes By being raised in specific culture also determines a phenotype in thinking and behavior In dynamical systems language its an attractor There also seem to be various neural correlates that determine the strength of forms of agency, such as disconnection of certain brain regions in unconctollable destructive addictive behavior. Someone should invest heavily in brain computer interfaces enhancing the control over ourselves by strenghtening those neural networks 😃 I find this as fascinating start when it comes to decoding thoughts [Semantic reconstruction of continuous language from non-invasive brain recordings | bioRxiv](https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.09.29.509744v1) [Sense of agency for intracortical brain–machine interfaces | Nature Human Behaviour](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-021-01233-2) (Sense of agency for intracortical brain–machine interfaces) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1053811923004068 (Disentangling the neural correlates of agency, ownership and multisensory processing) Hmm here they locate what goes wrong in decreased sense of agency [Neural correlates of sense of agency in motor control: A neuroimaging meta-analysis - PubMed](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32502189/) I would argue the development of the networks implementing healthy sense of agency needs to be fundamentally supported by training them like muscles (genetics also play a role) so there's evolutionary pressures for them to be developed. This seems to be the fuction of certain meditation practices, going out of comfort zone practices, systematic dedication to one bigger task skill, stabilizing routine skill, or delayed gratification practices 🤔 Its also interesting how stimulants or lower doses of psychedelics tend to increase agency Compassion is fundamental mental muscle to cultivating strong human relationships that are number one predictor of individual and collective wellbeing. We need more culture of compassion in our culture. We take so many to us deeply important human connections for granted and when they start dissapearing we start to see their true worth.

I love one lens on psychotheraphy, that lots of psychotherapeuts see their clients mechanistically and try to look for a mechanistic problem that needs to be solved according to predefined symbolic trees/ methodologies. This definitely has its use and should be used a lot, but fusing rationality with intuition is IMO ideal. But I would argue that to fully understand the lens of the other beings that might be deeply suffering, one should try to synchronize with them as much as possible mentally. Get as much as possible into their world by listening as deeply as possible, synchronizing breathing itself can increase sense of connection.

Something like tends to be practiced in Gestalt psychotherapheutic method for example. The deep compassion definitely has its advantages and disadvantages, as feeling the suffering of others so directly can really overwhelm one's mental state if not enough healing to get back into less suffering states is done. It also seems that in the current loneliness crisis, therapheuts tend to be the only people that create at least some human connection for some people that feel fundamentally lonely.
