I read somewhere that some believe consciousness to have arisen from paradoxical wants (i.e. not dropping something hot to accomplish a task).
I just remembered hearing on joe rogan maybe 10 years ago about delta wave (?) training, where someone would have their delta waves monitored while watching a movie for example. When the waves got outside optimal range the movie would begin to stutter and buffer until the waves got back into optimal range. It was said to be efficient - and it's effectively training your subconcious.

- SketchySeaBeast 3y agoIt seems like, if was making you aware of a problem and then having you deliberately deal with it, it was training your conscious.
- dmbche 3y agoThe effects kept going after the training, and you made no conscious effort to change the waves, the discomfort from the stuttering was driving the brain to lower delta waves. This is all from a JRE podcast years back, so I'm probably wrong, but I think the logic was that this could be applied to other subconcious processes (like regulating your heartbeat to stay in some optimal value, or the serotonin levels in the brain), and that the effects were not conscious. Kind of setting a new normal for yourself.

- dmbche 3y agoYes, I think it was a guy from there. Probably a scam - would be neat though! Thanks for the link
