One issue is science lately is taking a strong metaphysical idealist approach because its being done under capitalism and that’s what the bourgeois scum funding it want, you tell your patrons what they want to hear and until that changes, its going to be a mysterious black box since our relation interpretation to it is either so mechanically materialist and behaviorally deterministic that we stack overflow into full metaphysical idealism.

On the other hand being dia about it don’t throw the mystics out since using some of their hackery you can do neat things like oobes using mirrors and some concentration, imposition by Buddhist monks and the Wim Hoff sorts has something to tell us, the valuable gold kernel of truth in the metaphysical shit. Then more dia on a psych-neuro front there’s the famous rubber hand experiment from top-down, from down-up if things like the temporal parietal junction/angular gyrus get messed with for some reason like oxygen deprivation in ndes or simply a tumor, the sense of embodied self is more best nervous system conjecture than actual representation of hard truth.

Back when I got out of school HOT was big but it had so many logic and case holes you could drive the van from Inception through.

From personal experience being out of your body is quite fun when you want to be out of it, and when you want to go back just slide back inside like a deck of cards. No one can tell neither, so its a great way to pass time as a retail worker looking around as customers haggle about their used underwear return.
