Sensory acuity and eye patterns
Understanding eye patterns offers two advantages. Firstly, it is possible to observe how the person is accessing information internally. People tend to look up to access visual representation, side for audio and down for either kinesthetic and audio digital (internal dialogue). This has been refined further. Note that the following referencing is as the practitioner is looking at the person. The majority of people will:
- look to the observer’s top left to visually construct and top right to visually remember
- look to the observer’s left to create a sound and right to remember a sound
- look to the observer’s lower left to access feelings and sensations, and lower right to listen to their internal dialog.

Shared Situational Awareness (SSA) means two or more people have a commonly understood mental model – a mental image of what’s happening & what is going to happen in the future. There is a latent opportunity to use Tools, such as AI, to advance SSA. Note that this is a non-linear space.

In many European countries, there's a mandatory annual "broadcasting fee" (around €350) that partially funds public legacy media (TV & Radio). It should be renamed the "psyops tax" to better reflect its true purpose.

A schematic representation of the personality system.
A schematic representation of the personality system. 'Biological bases' (such as genes) and 'external influences' (such as cultural norms) are inputs to the system. Personality traits are found in the category of 'basic tendencies', which are influenced by biological bases, but not external influences. Causal paths are indicated by arrows, and show that, over time, traits interact with the environment to produce 'characteristic adaptations' (such as attitudes), and these in turn interact with the situation to produce the output of the system, the 'objective biography'. The 'self-concept' is a subset of characteristic adaptations of particular importance to self theorists. Adapted from McCrae & Costa (1996)

Generative Doubt
Extensively using LLMs during everyday writing tasks seriously messes with one's perception. Suddenly, i have doubt about all texts online - wondering if it might be secretly generated. Certain words, that vanilla LLMs overuse, have become taboo and many texts feel cheap.
"Generative Doubt" is a widespread novel psychological condition in the early 21st century. Assuming by default everything on screens is AI generated and daily meditation are effective strategies to deal with it.
