Of course, I'm not so optimistic that technology will become so easily integrated in the near future, though what people think of as technology will become far less obvious as technology becomes so seamlessly integrated. An example could be for Apple laptops, induction charging will be integrated into the metal casing, so you only need to rest your phone or watch onto the surface, and much of the interaction that technology has will become far less based on physical mediums, and will be incorporated into less obvious devices, as though an afterthought (though it's been assumed that things like "smart glasses" would have arrived and become more evident in today's world, but it was mostly just a fad, though I'm sure such things will be gradually picked up, in such a way that you could probably incorporate technology with smartphone integration, where you control the front of the glasses like a shade screen, and behind it will be a movie, or a VR integration that works like Yelp reviews, or Google maps (perhaps while driving it would give assistance with the cars camera technology, and you would not lose orientation with the surroundings, a bit like what they were trying to do with fighter pilot helmets, to reduce blind spots?) The idea is your eyes could facilitate direction "on screen" and it will seem as if by "magic" that the interaction interfaces with how you move your eyes with the screen (so if actually trying to look past the glasses, you could look past the text/page within the glasses screen, and from there you would either stare off past it (and the closest analogy could be, as though you were using a camera lens to focus on a gated fence, but instead focused past that and captured an image of the object behind it, where the fence is barely visible.) The idea would be not so much as a visual assistant for driving safely, but more of a navigation assistance for people who wanted to communicate where they were wanting to go via the cars auto-driving technology.
As things become more automated such things would almost seem to become as abundant as throw-away capsule toys. Would glasses still exist in the future, and less so intended as corrective optics, but rather assistance devices, and the more "affluent" would have it incorporated into their corneas? If contacts become problematic and can't be reused, how likely would someone not cause an eye infection, and to what extent will ambitions fall prey to lawsuits and other issues (such as Elon Musk attempting to do things with Neuralink while also potentially running into some huge ethics issues as well as potential lawsuits with some of his technology he's developed?) To what extent are people going to remain luddites while only seeing society progress from a distance, and will society be forced to take on a more socialistic serfdom, with technology oligarchs marching towards a future that gradually disintegrates from the echoes of "innovation?"

Re: Science Microthreads
I get the impression that when Quantum computers arrive, there will be a flurry of arrests when we break encryption that's no longer effective, then we won't be able to break anything and all hell will break loose. I recently read about how nefarious groups and the US and China are harvesting encrypted data in anticipation of quantum computers that will allow them to read it. Most of the information I found about the benefits of quantum computers was more boring than I expected. About building better weapons and better communication systems. I knew there would be more, and I found more in recent news from New Scientist, about Google:
I have to subscribe for more so I guess I didn't actually see the interesting part but I'm sure it's published elsewhere.Google wants to solve tricky physics problems with quantum computers
Quantum computers could become more useful now [that] researchers at Google have designed an algorithm that can translate complex physical problems into the language of quantum physics.
Once they become powerful enough, quantum computers might become useful for specific jobs, such as breaking encryption or modelling quantum mechanics, but it is still largely unknown how useful they will be for many other scientific problems that classical computers…"

EMDR sounds like 'Auditing' by Scientologists.
I doubt the kinds of things that cause C-PTSD would work with something like EMDR (assuming it's mostly a placebo effect of emotional processing.) Most issues people have are largely compartmentalized behind various negative coping mechanisms.
The eye-movement aspect was always something that made me question it, though was "open minded" about how eye movement can be conditioned and programmed to not restrict reading (ergo EyeQ software tries to encourage by training your eyes to skim, as it's often the case where the eye will "train" on words in how you contextualize the words into a syntax, and it's intended to kind of force your eye movement onto the next tasks.) A lot of my issues with focusing are triggered by anxiety which stems from various aspects of early upbringing; stuff which I wouldn't know the exact source of (such as, ear infections, unreliable caregivers who adequately mirror and orient your perspective on the world through acknowledgment, and perhaps eye issues, etc.)
I've always associated the idea of EMDR in context to what I recall about how mental patients have odd eye movements, traced to their emotional dysregulation (so basically, in context of people with emotional disorders, their eyes have a noticeable aspect to how they process thought, which most likely is due to the assumption that they are the result of halucinations, which are not found in normal people (hence emdr would have to be very specific which it isn't, and it couldn't properly make sense of why someone claims to be "cured.") You can't change what caused people to have fucked up heads, if it's most likely a permanent feature of how their brain has adapted due to various environmental and epigenetic effects on neurochemistry. Assuming some parallels can be made to general life events that people face, can it really resolve the issue that people face if they aren't aware of what triggers it?

It seems meditation causes psychiatric issues (which is something that seems to be a commonality in those who do Vedic meditation and "kundalini."
Though traditionally kundalini is described as a "state of mind" (something similar to "enlightenment") I've meditated one time and experienced the spinal column go into some limbic state where the spine shifted from top to bottom like a serpent (hence the early vestigial characteristic of evolution, where the most primitive aspect of the brain then goes into an involuntary reflex mode, much like tapping the kneecap to engage the nervous system reaction to kick.) Whether this is due to a flooding of neurochemicals or it's some aspect of the endocrine system that can exercise latent processes that mostly remain dormant. Much as certain emotional behaviors can become addictive (or are "rewarded" as a "necessary" state of mind from a behavioral perspective) so too could it be something that can become addictive but also euphoric at first (and much as I believe meditation and atavistic shamanism practices herald the dawn of religion, so too are cults the manifestation of giving people a false sense of "control" that when challenged as a natural state of coexistence then gives people a fatalistic perspective if whatever compelled them to seek out meditation in the first place.)

Good article about the health risks of wood burning. https://undark.org/2022/03/02/wood-burn ... -concerns/
I just skimmed through it so far, but the source seems good. When I stayed with a friend for a while in NJ, I smelled smoke every other day, and not from someone smoking. Same here in PA. Not as much in NY. People burn wood around here. Proximity to houses where wood may be burned is now a major consideration in where I move. I think the key to avoiding wood smoke is housing developments. Find a sprawling development where nobody burns wood, preferably next to the woods, and get a unit as far away from homes where wood may be burned as possible. I have an apartment in mind. If it turns out that I smell smoke on a regular basis there, then this will become a little problematic, but I WILL find a suitable place.

Fasting --> basically, diet in relation to exercise and evolutionary metabolic development.
I think of it like someone developing PTSD even though nothing specifically happened to "trigger" it; just because they "could have" been attacked, such as a guard on patrol in enemy territory, their body produced a negative stressor that could likewise impact their health. Fasting is another way to self-regulate and feel like they are "in control."
In this video, a research scientist mentions how just having access to all the food they could eat resulted in thinner mice that didn't live longer, because their adaptive metabolism was in this "utopian" state of mind (which possibly harks back to the Universe 25 experiment) where they never had to face any negative stressors and have control over the expectation that it will be supplied, and not withdrawn. Those with everything regulated for them had health advantages, much as if people searching out their food in a wilderness had control over their reward-seeking motive.
