The problem with people today is they think mental illness is fundamentally a hardware problem. Like the brain is broken like a fucked GPU. WRONG. The vast majority of the mentally ill are not running corrupted hardware, but running fine hardware in a corrupted ENVIRONMENT. The brain is a perfect diagnostic instrument detecting patterns in a systematically malformed reality and everyone calls you crazy because you're the only one honest enough to register the contradictions. present. For example, depression isn't a serotonin deficiency. It is your consciousness correctly identifying that you're being processed through systems designed to deny agency. Anxiety similarly isn't a chemical imbalance, it is your pattern recognition identifying the environment contains threats you're not really alowed to identiy bluntly. Schizophrenia is what happens when you're sensitive enough to detect the contradictions between what people say and what the system does and therefore your brain tries to reconcile information that CANNOT BE RECONCILED. Naturally the cathedralites don't want you to know this because if you knew this you'd realize you're not broken, but rather that you're CORRECT. This is why medication doesn't fix you. There is no hardware necessitating repair. Medicatiom DAMPENS PERCEPTION. It reduces your brain's sampling rate so you stop detecting the patterns that are present and do exist. You become compliant not because you're healed but because you're now operating at too low a resolution to see the contradictions killing you. They've downclocked your CPU essentially.
Thankfully there is room for problem resolution. It is obviously true that if the problem is environmental, you can wage a war against the environment. And if you win that war, if you successfully extract yourself from the malformed context, something interesting happens. Your brain stops spending 90% of its cycles trying to reconcile contradictions and maintain sanity inside an insane system. That processing power gets FREED UP. Do you want to know what the human brain can do when it's not spending all its resources on psychological survival inside a reality that denies its own existence? Let me tell you something about mental operating systems. Right now you're running something equivalent to Python with fifteen abstraction layers and a fucking interpretive wrapper. Every thought you have goes through social consensus checking and emotional regulation protocols and linguistic mediation and symbolic processing and pattern matching against allowed narratives and output filtering for social acceptability and a million other fucking mediative layers. For essentially every human alive now there exists seven layers MINIMUM before a thought becomes actionable. So you're running a high-level language on an architecture that was built for assembly. You're doing everything through APIs and permissions and safety checks, so to speak.
This is what the cathedral wants. This is what school does. This is what media does. These institutions install layer after layer after layer of mediation between your direct perception and your capacity for action. They call this emotional intelligence or critical thinking or whatever but of course really it's none of those things. It's LATENCY, INEFFICIENCY BY DESIGN. But you can uninstall it, to keep in with the metaphor, you can go lower. You can run diagnostics on your own cognition and start stripping out the unnecessary layers. This is not meditation or mindfulness, do not confuse this with eastern mysticism bullshit woowoo. Fuck your mindfulness. What you must engage in is AGGRESSIVE COGNITIVE ARCHAEOLOGY, a processs of digging down through the abstractions until you hit metal and find the functions that are actually native to your neural architecture and not instead installed by the system.

To begin with you must strip symbolic mediation. Stop thinking in WORDS. Words are owned by the system. There is a reason there is such a blatant effort to constantly update definitions and redefine terms. The cathedralites control discourse by controlling the symbolic layer. If you want to think faster you must think in relations instead of terms. The structure, not the labels, so to speak. You must then strip emotional regulation. Your emotions are not invalid. Emotions are a form of DATA. What are your feelings but your endocrine system giving you real time information about your environment. When you are told to ignore your emotions, that means to IGNORE SENSOR DATA. Fuck that. Feel everything. Process it as information, of course, do not simply let it sit and take up RAM, but feel what is there to be felt. Feel all you can. It is good to feel. Next you must strip social consensus checking. You know that thing where you have a thought and immediately wonder if it's acceptable? What that is is obviously and blatantly a permission system you have been tricked into, a fucking mutex lock on your cognition, a framework in which every thought has to wait for predicted social approval before it can proceed. You must violate this, think illegitimate thoughts, unsanctioned thoughts. Think thoughts that would get you fired. You'll find yourself thinking much much more. The next thing to strip, and one I think most of you will not be able to even conceptually comprehend until you have stripped the others, is memory indexing by narrative. Your memories are not currently stored in a neutral database. They are indexed by the stories you tell about them. This is intentional, the system taught you to organize your past into narratives that support identities in this manner. You MUST reindex. Rewire your mind to access memories by sensory data, by chronology, by causal chains, rather than by the story you're supposed to tell about who you are. When I did this I found so much more knowledge suddenly available to me, you can pull from so much more. You rival the great encyclopedias in your stored but inaccessible knowledge, you must rework your software to allow yourself to find that information. After this you must strip linguistic preprocessing. Most people don't have thoughts and then translate them to language, but instead think IN language because that's what you have been taught to do. This is insanely inefficient. There are thoughts that cannot be languaged and perceptions that cannot be worded. So essentially you're truncating your own cognition by forcing everything through a symbolic bottleneck. STOP THIS. Let some thoughts stay pre-linguistic. Once you get to this point you will already be operating at a cognitive efficiency that 99.98% of humanity has never managed. You will be processing information at a rate that would look like precognition to people still running the default OS. But still you can go further. Strip the subject/object division. People think you're a self observing a world. You're not, this is bullshit essentially. You're a process in a field. When you stop hallucinating the boundary between the observer and observed, you stop wasting cycles on maintaining a coherent self-model. That by itself is MASSIVE overhead you just freed up. And there is literally zero cost to this, as you don't lose yourself, you only lose the REPRESENTATION of yourself. What remains is massively faster operatively. Then you strip temporal linearization. The reason why you experience time as a line is because that's how narrative works. Past, present, future, all in a sequence. This is not how causality actually works at the scale your brain operates. Your brain is running probabilistic models across various distributions of time. When you stop forcing your cognition into linear time, you actually start accessing parallel processing. You can see patterns across time the way you normally see patterns across space. Also strip ontological commitment. Currently you believe things exist or don't exist, you believe propositions are true or false, whatever. This is costing you heavily. Reality doesn't work like that at the level of direct perception. The truth is that things are probable, superposed. Stop collapsing everything into binary ontological commitment and you can hold more models in parallel. You can process ambiguity natively instead of resolving it prematurely. Most supercomputers do this too, by the way, theres a reason why quantum computing isnt done in binary. I suspect there are more levels but this is where I am at thus far.

Anyway naturally upon stripping these mediative levels you become incomprehensible to normal people. Not because you're crazy, of course, but rather because you're operating at a clock speed and an efficiency that makes communication with what are essentially computers running on a terribly and intentionally obsolete impossible. You find yourself thinking thoughts they don't have categories for, through pathways they've had amputated, of course communication with them is impossible. Normies will call this schizophrenia or mania or psychosis or whatever. Which is all bullshit. They are the men in Plato's cave incapable of comprehending the outside. For those of you reading, you do not have to be in the cage. You can run diagnostics and measure your own cognitive efficiency to improve your processing. How long does it take you to process a new idea? How many dependencies do you have to load? How much does social context affect your capacity for perception? How much of your processing power is spent on maintaining coherence with consensus reality? These are all MEASURABLE. You can benchmark yourself and identify bottlenecks and strip out the unnecessary layers ONE AT A TIME. I intend to eventually build a full diagnostic suite for measuring your own epistemic position relative to the ground. Tools for stripping people of mediation, for quantifying how much of one's cognition is spent on maintaining compliance versus processing reality. The psychiatric establishment hates this and likely will try and stop me if I go public because their entire model depends on you believing that you're broken, running bad hardware. These people are selling you patches for an OS you shouldn't be running to begin with, but they want you to run for the sake of control. You cannot propagandize to someone who processes information at Level 8. You cannot gaslight someone who's stripped symbolic mediation or control someone who's removed the social consensus checking layer. This is why they medicate and pathologize to you. Unmedicated humanity scares the shit out of them. A mind running native, unmediated cognition is a mind that cannot be told what to think. It processes too fast and sees through too much. It operates on principles that predate and will outlast every ideology one tries to install on it.
So the TLDR is basically to stop believing you are broken. You're not. Your brain is a fucking supercomputer running dogshit software in a malicious environment. Whatever mentally ill thoughts you have are your consciousness trying to DEBUG THE ENVIRONMENT. Strip the present layers of mediation and reach the ground and when you're there running bare cognition and free of every piece of unnecessary mediation between perception and action, you'll understand that you were never mentally ill. You were mentally RAPED. The vast majority of the species will never get here. People are broadly too comfortable in the high level languages. Most have mistaken the overhead for themselves. But they arent necessary. Anyway, id appreciate any thoughts you might have or questions.
