This is like a mutation in a dungeon crawl game, that affects most of your stats negatively but gives you the ability to discover the effect of scrolls.

#62All the people in this thread who decoded it used long exposure or faster playback. Using the latter, for me, it starts to become readable at 2.5x and is essentially a clear static image at 4x. (I had to download the video and play it back using VLC.) Which for me, makes this claim a bit absurd: > At a theoretical level, this confirmation is significant because it is the first clear demonstration of a real perceptual…
Being able to see that which our perception actively suppresses because it is hyper-focused on a certain cadence is indeed a gift.
If you believe that our perceptive filters, evolved over millennia of survival requirements, is the only or even best way to perceive our reality, I would invite you to consider that hummingbirds will never enjoy Mozart, and you will never be as relaxed as a sloth.

What do you mean by "processing speed"? I think you are interpreting this experiment as if our brains worked like digital computers doing signal processing in some buffer in the visual cortex :p

You know, according to people who have done buckets of psychedelics, there's an awful lot more to the psychedelic experience than 2.5-4x slower processing speed. I recall reading of numerous people who found they could collectively slow down a wall clock to the point were it didn't move any longer, and people who have experienced what they refer to as "eternity", "multiple life times", "thousands of years", etc.
Also what is being done here isn't simply slower processing speed. It's more like the information from old states persists into new ones. My understanding is that this would be considered low dose territory.
There's more to the story here, and I don't think this test, is even scratching the surface. It is neat though.

#66One time I took way too much weed butter and watched Interstellar, and I swear I could tell exactly where the green screen and photoshopping points were.
This has happened to me nearing the end of LSD trips watching movies or TV a couple times. Glad to finally hear someone else has experienced it too.

Cannabis is indeed a psychedelic substance. Many users don't experience it as such, but in the proper dose, and especially ones first usage of it, can be intensely psychedelic. The challenge with the cannabis experience is, it is often deeply clouded in fear and paranoia.
I bet someone could read the messages in these videos quite easily under the influence of cannabis, but I doubt most would be comfortable at that level of intoxication to enjoy the experience while it occurred.

#68Earlier quoted context omitted.
The first video shows diagonal rows of.. creatures, reminiscent maybe of crabs, or maybe flowers. They are pretty clearly visible once you repeat the video several times, and watch the black empty spaces between color lines, instead of the lines themselves (much like Castaneda describes it). The second one contains some intricate pattern or maybe letters, but still more like flowers. I was unable to make out any defi…
I see the words "WE LOVE YOU" in the negative space in the first video.
Ding ding ding. Loving you

They didn't "experience an eternity". They experienced an emotional feeling they likened to an eternity. This is the difference between your computer running a program for a thousand years and you changing the date settings. These people did not go through an eternity of perception, processing, and thought; they had the label on their memories altered.

#70For those that are curious, these are the messages: https://imgur.com/a/y0mXbAk Decoded using: ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf tmix=frames=36:weights="1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1" output.mp4 ffmpeg -i output.mp4 -vf "curves=all='0/0 0.05/1 1/1'" bright.mp4 We need to use the second command, as frame averaging in ffmpeg lowers luminosity.

Hah that's cool, reminds me a little bit to those LED message fans
