Use consciousness to alter one's self.

This theory is currently incomplete, but does have a crazy idea as it's base and a few steps as of now.

First things first, I have absolutely no evidence for this theory, it's purely theory, it has developed over the past almost decade and there is no effective or real way to test the theory.

With that out of the way. I've decided to call it Wonderland Theory/Project Wonderland. (Please tell which one you think is better)

The basic idea is that I believe that our consciousness and partially our brain is capable of much more than we believe. I believe that if we were to gain complete and total control over our consciousness, we could alter ourselves mentally and physically while maybe achieving some superpower-like abilities.

I have a rough idea of how to achieve this:

For the explanation, let's assume you are to attempt this. An aspect that would help to achieve the goal is: Often having dreams and especially lucid dreams (dreams that you can control while having one)

When referring to "the center of your brain" I'm referring to what I theories to be the access point for the "control system" of your consciousness.

Now:

•First, is to achieve full control and stabilise your dream to prevent premature awakening. •Second, is to reach "the center of your brain" and NOT TOUCH ANYTHING, before beginning alterations. •Third, when a suitable level of understanding of the Consciousness System is achieved, minor alteration is to begin. Nothing that affects the main organs to a significant degree is still to not be touched till further notice. •Fourth, the first alteration to be done is adjusting your consciousness to have far far more dreams when sleeping in order to speed up the process of achieving further alterations. •Fith, is to dramatically increase the speed of which deep sleep is achieved to increase the length of dreams. •Sixth, (this where a greater danger to one's self begins to become more common due to tampering with critical systems in the body) you will attempt to achieve minor continuous control over the blood stream of your body and cardiovascular system to start physical enhancement, by increasing blood flow to parts of the body.

Like said earlier it's incomplete, rather the instructions are incomplete. The steps are being thought of and better explained as of 3 hours ago. All the instructions I listed are new asof today. The old version was a lot shorter and explained alot and I mean A LOT worse.

If ANYONE wants me to expand on Wonderland Theory/ Project Wonderland please let me know.

A parody video series staring RFK Jr’s brainworm as the Health and Human Services press secretary.

Bits could include:

  1. The worm is obese and not healthy. He struggles slithering to the podium and talks with labored speech.

  2. He begins each junket by saying “today is sponsored by Young Living” and such.

  3. The camera cut to a shot behind his podium where we see that the “agenda” is just a random list of bad recommendations with companies that paid him to say it in parentheses.

Buildings should have parachutes so people can jump out safely in case they're trapped by a fire or something.

Is this really crazy?

A car which you can drive while lying on your stomach. Kinda like a coffin with a window. Perfect for camping.

Make a mmorpg for immortals

What if Osrs was even more grindier and had levels up to 1000? Make a video game meant for immortal humans. 1000 years of content and playtime. Maybe humans of the far future would live long enough to enjoy it.

Instead of the innocuous airport announcement "don't leave luggage unattended", make it more self evident by saying, "don't transport drugs in your bags unwillingly".

If you don’t want your paper to get caught by AI checkers, turn off spell and grammar checks when you write.

Turn in both versions. One with the errors and time stamp of file creation and one modified with checkers on.

Gay chain restaurant named “The Loose Caboose”

Just like hooters but for gay dudes. A chain restaurant called “the loose caboose” that’s railroad themed. All the waiters wear cutoff denim overalls and must grow a magnum PI mustache or one will be provided for them.

Dating service BUT for jobs vs relationships

Here is my " crazy" idea. Create a service similar to eharmony/ Tinder BUT for getting a job that is basically set up like a matchmaking service. You pick your preferences, values, income, education etc. Then you get a couch who will set ypu up with the job. Once ypu complete a personality/ aptitude/ IQ test and find out what your strenghts and weaknesses are they hook ypu up with the right job. Put in boring stats like your expierence, education etc. once on the site then get matched with the job. No annoying searches, one quick interview...boom job tailored to your character/ values/ strenghts/ needs. Crazy idea but wouldnt it be awesome, if it could work?

Movies

Here's the crezy idea you can watch every movie you ever watched before but this time focus on other characters (side characters) their development, their lives and their story and just ignore the main plot. Iam sure that your will find something new or learn something interesting despite the fact the thing you noticed never really created to acknowledge by the creators of the movie. Do this for atleast one movie and tell me what you found.

Systematically trigger Elon Musk so he buys various failing companies and runs them into the ground thus lowering his ranking on the richest person list.

Interviews should use chatgpt to create a question for the guest based on social media posts related to them

They should do it live and unscripted. Can use reddit, bluesky, facebook, the-platform-which-musk-not-be-named, etc as input (“RAG augmentation”). This could help create discussion topics outside of interviewers narrow perspective. Sort of an AI-enabled AMA.
