Agent Pugsly’s personal idea (something Agent Pugsly believes) posted by Agent Pugsly Tue, 2008-02-19 05:28Groups: Reality Filtering
If I don't want to get sucked into the mood of a crowd I try and find patterns in the noise of a crowd and make a song up in my head for it. Humming short bits to bridge between when one person talks and another stops can help ensure that you don't get sucked into analysis of what they are talking about. Stomping noises, mouth noises, car noises all become noise if you are listening for a song underneath it all.
Optical hallucinations can, in some cases, be induced naturally to help facillitate this 'not really here' objective.
Fighting the urge to join a large crowd can be difficult without training.
How many of your ideas are your own?
