i think i saw that one

yeah they make you aware by showing you what happens when you are not aware

was it like sexy dance contest?

All the other tribespeople just still standing around in a circle clapping or whatever not realizing they have unintentionally killed themselves

she survived

@Str3tch I think so

for example I saw a chinese woman eaten by an escalator

because she didnt notice the aluminium part was shaky and out of place

ever since I automatically look for that when i use an escalator

when you do that for enough things

you incorporate that behavior in your mind

and its now a skill

I had that badly for a number of years

i used to kick the side panel at the bottom of escalators, because if u hit the right spot, you'd activate an emergency stop switch hidden behind the panel, and disable the escalator

Hypervigilance is the technical term

Technically, you get that way as a result of trauma and psychological stress

It's interesting that you're voluntarily searching out this stuff

Watching these kind of videos, seeing these kinds of things, is definitely traumatic

But I think the reason psychological trauma exists at all is because it is adaptive

i dont think ive been traumatized, its just that in a moment where extreme things are happening

i want to keep my composure

and understand what is happening

Right

That's a highly competent attitude

But consider that these unaware people probably wouldn't have died

If they had been a bit higher in stress

i.e, this composed alert attitude you are cultivating is a more stressful mode

But imo a more rational one

I think people go through their lives totally asleep and unaware of everything and that always bothered me

and chezchia

To realize that death is easy is important for people

like, it could look like a paranoid person, but I constantly look behind my back every time i think enough time has passed for the circumstances to change

for example if im walking on the sidewalk and take a turn a monitor, after 30 mts i look at my pack and that kind of thing

Right

ive gotten good at differenciating sounds far away

See to me it's that our society is sick

Because there is this sense that it's a pathology if you're not totally asleep and unconcerned about your environment or whatever happens to you

but im a totally chill relaxed person
