According to a new perspective, hallucinations and delusions are not always signs of mental illness. Some researchers argue that these experiences can be adaptive and meaningful, depending on the context and the person. They suggest we evolve our understanding of hallucinations and delusions and embrace their diversity and complexity.

I can't remember where I read this but I feel it is true....

"Illusions are beliefs that we adopt because we want them to be true.

The most compelling illusions qualify as delusions.

Delusions are illusions that are both false and highly resistant to rational revision, because of the immense power of the wishes that fuel them."

An article on the #ElonMusk takeover of #Twitter.

He seems to suffer from #delusions of grandeur!

*mental health subject incoming!*

So I suffer from #delusions (one of which being that I am being spied on) and as a result, I have quite a lot of #paranoia when it comes to the security of my pre published writings.

Well today I saw that someone with the username “Russian octopus” had access to a new part of a story I was #writing.

Then as I was trying to change their accessibility to the piece, my own access to my work was suddenly “revoked” and the document disappeared from my google docs.

This has not helped me dispel my delusion.

This has made it worse.

Who are these people and why do they want to silence me so badly? I’m referring to my writings being blacklisted on certain social apps as well (not this one)

There’s some fuckery afoot…

🤔

My #delusions of #adequacy are biting hard today...

My mum is 86 and has only just had the words #delusions and #psychosis associated with her #mentalhealth due to a fractured hip and stint in hospital. Her condition and medication was always explained as being due to a nervous breakdown she had back in the ‘70’s. As an ageing Italian migrant, she won’t understand her current diagnosis but her children and grandchildren do, and we are grateful and relieved to finally understand.

If you are learning from a sequence of observations and actions, and using a probabilistic model, you should be treating the agent's actions as #causal interventions. The authors attribute the lack of causal interventions as the reason for #delusions, and also propose a way to do #MetaLearning. #MachineLearning #Causality #ReinforcementLearning

Did not see anyone wearing a mask during the fireworks displays shown on this morning's news. People stating nice to get back to normal. That normal no longer exists.
