Rules and Guidelines

1. No BigotryIncluding racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.

2. Be CivilArgue in good faith, attack the argument; not the person, and promote a healthy debate. That includes implying violence, threats or wishes of violence and/or death.

3. No PornThis instance is not made to host porn communities. You're free to access porn communities on other instances through your account, but be mindful of Rule 4.

4. Use the NSFW tagUse your common sense: if you wouldn't want this image to show up on your work computer, tag it as such. In comments, use the
spoiler ::: tag for NSFW images, and put a NSFW mention beside links. Do not use NSFW images as your avatar or banner. :::
5. No Ads / SpamThis instance is not there to act as your billboard. If you want to promote your personal work, at least make the effort to be a contributing member of this community. Your account purpose shouldn't be to only advertise, make it natural.

6. Bot accountIf you are the operator of a "bot" account, make sure to flag is as such in the account's settings.

7. Right to privacyDo NOT distribute the personal information of someone else without their consent (aka doxxing). Information that is public domain can be shared, provided it is in good faith.
ex: The official email of an elected official is fair, the private phone number or the real name of a non-public person is NOT.

8. Report abuseThe report function isn't labelled the disagree button. You might not agree with someone, but that doesn't mean what the person says is against the rules. Using it repeately in this fashion will lead to actions being taken against the reporter.

9. ImpersonationDon't make an account with the intent to negatively deceive or defame someone on the fediverse.
ex: Parody of a famous person is okay, submitting outrageous content as appearing like another user, mod or admin isn't.

The Gateway Program – CIA experiments in time travel (www.cia.gov)
 
 

This report on experiments into time travel and extra sensory perception during the 1960s and 70s deserves a read.

It relates to non-physical time travel which, after years of research, I’m personally leaning towards as far as feasibility.

Assuming time is a separate dimension from the 0th-3rd, we wouldn’t be able to move in it in the third dimension (the physical) any more than we can physically move with our bodies in the 1st or 2nd.

If consciousness can move in higher dimensions, though (and we know it does, because it moves in time every moment; that’s how we perceive time), it isn’t constrained to the third like our bodies are. We already move through time, so the task would be moving consciously instead of being dragged along.

This may all be pseudoscientific bullshit, but if we can find empirical ways to test these hypotheses, I believe it’s worth exploring.

Original Title: TIL The CIA created The Gateway Experience, a training program that emphasizes brainwave output to change consciousness and eventually transcend the confines of time and space. The process is said to increase awareness, out-of-body experiences, and other mental states. It was declassified in 2003.
