Ineffable Ontological Detanglement .: Introspective Assistance & Mental Analysis Manual
We've all seen brain fog, even those of us born with perceptual filter bypass, even those of us perfectly mentally sorted. There are certain states of mind such as extreme tiredness where we all fog a little. We're looking at feelings some people live in pretty deeply by loading themselves full of cognitive dissonance and criss crossing their perceptual filters. These people create the fog, they live in the fog, they formulate more within the fog, they implant it in thu brain and they enhance the fog.
Things such as... For an eighth of a second I thought the chair was the table. I didn't confuse terminology, no, my brain accidentally made the chair the table for an eighth of a second. For a half a second everything went blank, I didn't recognize a damn thing, I barely even knew I was in a reality, I didn't know what I was, I didn't know what the thing in front of me was, all comprehension was lost. For half a second I lost time. Was it an hour after I got up or an hour before I go to bed? Am I in my living room? Or am I in my sister's living room? I'm... In... My neighbours living room. For about a quarter of a second I thought my desk wanted to kill me.
Sometimes something improperly compartmentalized is displaying itself, however just because you triggered the fog doesn't mean you have anything improper hidden in there. These are the dramatic examples of your brain breaking, however with people who are living more within the fog, these feelings are subtle underlying at all times. You can develop opinions within your fog, you can develop philosophies within your fog. Some of you have formulated small aspects of your core belief system within your fog, subtle underlying fog, you may not have seen the fog, you may be entirely used to your fog. Make associations that cannot associate, drive yourself into a delirium of hatred, you're creating a world no other mind can comprehend. Take random benign things that are impossible to perceive as an attack on you, flip WOW, turn into a force of defensive hostility over a benign sentence construction that may or may not have even had you as a subject.
Floaty float float... You hear your name, you know what it is, but you can't drive your brain to the point of connecting it to the response function. It can go to places like "This scene happened in this show." "No, that was from this other show." "I KNOW, but..." "..." and you just let them wander off, you let them do whatever they need to do internally.
"Wh... What's... ..Th..." "That is a donut, sir." "...Donut...?" "It is a soft fluffy object that goes in your mouth, you chew it and swallow it and causes sweetness in your mouth, it then goes into your stomach and eventually out your backside." "...Okay and... I get... How..." "With money. Go into your back pocket, yes, okay, take that card, tap it against the screen." "...Tap... Tappa..." "No not the buttons, the screen." "...Tappa... Tap tap... Tap tap tap..." Yes, it is well documented that underneath these people is a certain restrained panic. A lot more of this in North America than anywhere else in the world, as we reward the act of sticking whatever contradictory nonsense you want in the brain until it's overloaded to the point of fizzle spark.
