Diagnosis of a mental illness would be an explanation, not explaining it away. You have used your brain to form the hypothesis that you are experiencing mind control by the government; but if that brain has a chemical imbalance (or some other difficulty), then all your thoughts are affected by it, including your self assessment. It's a bit like using a broken computer to diagnose itself - if the computer has a problem then you can't be sure that it's diagnosis is correct because the problem might prevent an accurate diagnosis.
How about this - you could have a chat with a doctor anyway, and maybe they can help you. If they can't, well, then you're no worse off than you were before.
While your description is clear and linear, it fails some critical practical point.
An explanation - which in this case would count as corroboration, not as causal link - requires trustworthiness instead of provisionality.
Similarly, you seem to come from Eutopia, where Professionals are easily available: people from Dartonmapia do not have that advantage, and all that seems available are «broken computer[s for] diagnos[tics]», with different degrees.
This, unfortunately, makes the hypothesis of remaining «no worse off» an "uninformed" idea.
I would rather encourage our friend to:
-- find some individual with strong background and intellectual abilities for consultancy (exchange, etc.), and
-- be prepared to face a long journey before achieving the identification of said valid Specialists.
Not me friend, the government is not “behind it” only instruments as ordinary men.
Your arm chair explanation is insightful, in its own way. How easily played off such things are by convention.
This phenomena has long since existed, and has only become more sophisticated in recent decades (you know how Americans are at pushing the envelope.)
Test this for yourself, can you sit quietly in a silent room and still your thoughts for fifteen minutes? If you are not alone in your own mind, you will soon distinguish your “noise” from those of an exogenous within you.
Ordinary humans are no doubt corruptible, treacherous, ignorant, and confused.
Additionally, there is a secret war waged upon us, by a secret society, with a secret governance of thought controls.
Besieged through a technology of power imperceptible and incomprehensible in ordinary minds; indistinguishable from God in the minds of thought controlled Americans.
This secret was revealed to me later in life, after living a full life, so my mind was already well developed before this infestation set upon me.
Have none of you heard of creeper culture? Where people report being “gang stalked?” Where mysterious mobs of apparently random strangers appear to stalk and harass individuals?
These are signs of controls messing with you.
of course anything that can be said has a perfectly easy to blow off response, that does not make it untrue.
As an aficionado of internal voices I would love to hear more on this subject. Especially the exact method by which the internal voices might be generated or influenced. Do you have something I could read?
Our minds may be entangled as our consciousness is a quantum phenomenon (I know, I know, something else you may refuse until “science” explains it to you.)
History does have fascinating accounts, though spread out and easily dismissed as occult nonsense.
Heck, just google the snail telegraph and consider humans through decades of specialized training can fully navigate entangled networks of our minds.
This is not “telemetry”, it is entanglement which persists at a distance and may be navigated.
That's an interesting idea. That we could access the space where these voices roam. (Via sensory deprivation or whatever)
It's funny, thought (this mass of internal voices) is popularly considered to be the firm logical bedrock of reality. Realer than sights and sounds even.
But what if it's something more physical and arbitrary? Blobs of oil drifting in a puddle. Brownian motion.
Reread “surely you must be joking Mr Feynman”, considering the American thought control program was well underway, and messing with people’s minds, particularly prominent peoples.
- discussion of his adventures in the sensory deprivation tank, where he “crashed into” someone else’s experiences
- when going to sleep one night, a mob of others in his head were interacting with him. They offered to let him experience fully aware sleep, which he “tried” then refused as it didn’t seem natural to him (waking dreams is a skill the mind may master).
- talking to a recruiter, it is subtle, yet the recruiter asks the question about voices not because it means your crazy, rather the voices make people paranoid and unstable, and only a crazy fool would reveal this. Feynman mentions hypnagogia. The government did now want the great scientific mind of Feynman enlisting, no matter how enthusiasm for the noble intention.
