Nicola Tesla on Walter Russell:
>You are so hopelessly ahead of your time that I believe the only way your knowledge can be saved is to write it down and diagram it, then seal it in a sepulcher with instructions that it be opened in a thousand years.

senescence isn’t a response to damage. it’s a thermodynamic surrender.
it’s the system cashing out, admitting that the cost of recovery outweighs the cost of replacement.

Everyone thinks they would do better with power than those who already have it
For the generation having grown up amidst doomerism, the ultimate act of rebellion is delusional optimism.
Bitcoin mining provides an incentive to capture power that would be a waste to everyone else
if you take 20 planks from Theseus’s ship and put them on a different ship with millions of other planks, does that make the other ship Theseus’s ship?
No. So to say taking 20 dire wolf genes and putting them in a normal wolf makes it a dire world is a bit of an overstatement.

tl;dr: Schizophrenia might not just be a disorder of waking reality—it could be rooted in a dysfunction of dreaming.
Dream enhancement may become the penicillin of psychiatry: cheap, scalable, and profoundly transformative.
#nevent1q…cmye
Could schizophrenia be fundamentally a dream deficiency?
Dreaming is more than random noise—it combats cognitive 'overfitting' by injecting nightly stochastic disruptions into our neural networks, enhancing generalization.
But what if this mechanism fails?
Erik Hoel’s Overfitted Brain Hypothesis proposes dreams evolved to combat 'overfitting'—a common neural network issue where systems learn patterns too well, becoming incapable of generalizing.
No dreams, no generalization.
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666389921000647
Imagine training an AI on pictures of dogs, but you only show it Labrador Retrievers. Later, it mislabels a deer as a dog because it overly learned narrow features (brown fur, four legs). The brain can similarly over-learn daily experiences.
Now, apply this to human cognition. Without dreams—our brain's way of adding noise and randomness—our neural patterns become rigid. We risk misclassifying new experiences, creating distorted realities.
Hoel argues dreaming provides nightly exposure to corrupted, hallucinated, and sparse sensory inputs.
These unusual, story-like disruptions recalibrate our brain's models, promoting adaptability & generalization.
Dreams therefore act as natural neural regularizers.
Schizophrenia often involves hallucinations, disrupted narratives, and a blurred line between perception and imagination.
Schizophrenia could be what happens when this regularizing dream mechanism fails.
Without adequate dreaming, neural networks may dangerously overfit waking experiences, distorting reality models.
This would result in increased hallucinations during wakefulness, as the brain attempts spontaneous self-regularization.
Studies already link reduced or disrupted REM sleep (the primary dreaming state) with increased risk and symptom severity in schizophrenia. This aligns with Erik Hoel's OBH.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8446088/
Dreams seem to buffer our mental models from becoming too narrow or too certain. When dreams fail, mental flexibility suffers, possibly manifesting as psychosis or delusion—hallmarks of schizophrenia.
Michael Johnson's Symmetry Theory of Valence suggests mental health thrives on balanced neural patterns. Dreams might help maintain this cognitive-emotional symmetry. Without dreams, asymmetry emerges, possibly manifesting as schizophrenia’s emotional dysregulation.
https://opentheory.net/2021/07/a-primer-on-the-symmetry-theory-of-valence/
Johnson's Vasocomputation theory highlights vascular states as cognitive 'latches.' Dreams may regulate these tensions nightly w/ dream deprivation leading to chronically clenched cognitive states—fueling schizophrenia’s hallucinatory episodes.
A testable idea is that dream-deprived individuals should display heightened cognitive rigidity and elevated hallucination potential when awake, which is already mostly known to be the case.
Known schizophrenics may have dream disorders.
With tech like portable EEG and dream journaling apps, assessing dream frequency, vividness, and content in individuals with schizophrenia vs. controls would be pretty feasible.
I record dreams nightly in Obsidian.
If true, enhancing dream activity (via REM-inducing pharmaceuticals or neurostimulation techniques) could offer novel therapeutic pathways.
We might treat schizophrenia by amplifying dream function, promoting neural generalization.

hi - currently operating one of probably less than a dozen biotechs in this space.
the tools we have now from neuroscience are making this paradigm much more approachable than it ever was before. eg- voltage reporting dyes, genetically encoded voltage indicators and more to make playing with electricity in the body smarter than it has ever been before.
still very hard to image in vivo in complex organisms. In any case- we can still identify patterns corresponding to certain cell states in specific tissues and see how these translate similar to how we do now with drug discovery, eg bind this molecule with this protein and see how effective it is in the body

In 1935, Ervin Bauer proposed a unique idea about how energy works in living things. He said that ATP—the energy molecule in our cells—doesn’t directly power the work our bodies do, like moving or thinking. Instead, it rebuilds a supply of high-energy, stable structures that our bodies use to get that work done. Bauer saw life as a kind of 'excited stable state,' not just a constant flow of energy creating order. He also suggested that when we do work, it creates a bit of chaos (or entropy) in our bodies. To fix this and keep our structure organized, we rely on sunlight and nutrients from food to restore that living order.
In biology, being at rest constitutes an excited state. High energy through low entropy. Primed to respond and react.
TIL that da Vinci managed to estimate the “gravitational constant” within ten percent of its actual value ~150 years before Netwon.
Amazing.

Amid winter’s quiet drift, we orbit the unknown,
Heartbeats echoing in vast stillness.
Like distant planets drawn by an unseen force,
We become each other’s silent reflections.
Still, the city glows in twilight’s hush,
A stage for our cosmic reveries.
In the half-light of memory and dream,
We slip through time like a whispered secret.
