+1 here Reardon... can be a real pain... -hypersensitive to noise... forks scraping along a plate goes straight through my head, as for fingernails on a blackboard.... hypersensitive to light - go out into a sunny day causes a piercing pain right where the yogis say the third eye is located in the forehead... the light in the family room is right above and in front of my chair and annoys the hell outta me... sometimes I wear a cap just to block it... vertigo looking down a stairwell, but no problems being in an airplane... ??? constant fatigue and not being refreshed in the morning from sleep... will look into some of the links in the thread... thanks guys.
I never heard of the low latency thingy until just now.. .hee hee.. "when they look at a lamp they see all the nuts and bolts".. I'm sitting here looking at my swiveling desk lamp and without trying, I see all the components, I see how all the pieces would move if I moved it... Do people like us overlearn things? I worked as an Electronics Technician, so I wanted to "see all the parts" and I took a home study course in Engineering.. I derived every equation, I learned it all, got the fundamentals down really well, most Engineers don't really do that, I figured that out eventually.... so after awhile I would be in meetings at work and myself and a PhD in Electronics would be the only ones that understood the conversation after awhile.... Now it's been the same thing with the trading charts for more than a decade.. I managed to overlearn that without even a homestudy course.. .and the Bible, if you want to "see all the parts" you have to go do things, and I've overlearned that too.. This is a tremendous eye opener for me, it's not about intellect really, it's just wanting to "see all the parts"... the greatest feeling is washing over me right now... I understand who I am for the first time ever...
"Change your Brain....change your Life daniel g amen.. this book essentially looks at the brain thru a scanner and finds different melon ball scooops missing in like personality disorders and rescans the brain after chemical alterations and sees melon ball scoops filled in, in a nutshell, your brain is the circuit breaker panel in your home, and with chemicals , you can sometimes flip the breaker, to oversimplify, what most think is an embarassing mental disparity is an electrical one that is no different than replacing a light bulb
Interesting about the low latency - describes me - Science Graduate. I identify with the defining symptons of ADD, Aspergers, SAD, Bipolar 2. Some defining symptons of OCD + Bipolar 2 were removed by the Steps (for which I am qualified). All part of the same thing IMHO. I also found first 96 pages of Da Vinci perhps the best self help book I have read other than the 'Big' one. Genetic traits are also a factor - I shook my head with wonder when I read Tacitus's description of the North German tribes - the ones the Romans decided not to bother conquering because there was no point. My niece has been diagnosed as Aspergers and has very fine delicate and blond features often characterising the Asperger child. Alternatively, she looks Germanic/Nordic - I often have people come up to me and speak to me in Finnish and then look baffled when I don't understand.
When I saw the title to this thread I knew instantly who the author was, I hope that one day other people can help you as much as you help them D. Hope all is well.
Great... I was exploring caves in Fla 3 years ago and got a tick bite. Thanks for the heads up. Going to the Dr. .
Wow.. how cool. This is very interesting because my father had a neuromuscular disorder which was diagnosed as a form of muscular dystrophy and was confined to a wheelchair and was told he would never walk again. Me, being the crazy innovative problem solver in the family used his wheelchair and ramp out of his house as tools to simulate leg presses. How I did this was by sitting in front of him with a piece of wood, and have him put his feet on it and push as much as he could, using the the incline of his ramp as resistance. To make this long story short, the first time we did it, he could barely do 2 presses, after a month, he was doing 3 sets of 10 with bowling balls hanging off the back of his chair and weights on his lap. After that I stood him up and he walked with me walking backwards in front of him with my hands not holding him. He cried
