Here's some new age truths about psychic spies that were funded for over two decades by the US Government and the soviets. I remain open to this being real, especially after reading about presentiment studies that have been replicated successfully dozens of times.
If telepathy and remote viewing aren't real, why would Governments (US and Soviets) fund research into this for over two decades? Looking at the evidence is impressive and I think it's very possible that something like telepathy, presentiment, mental RNG influence, and remote viewing could be real. Even skeptics like Sam Harris said there is enough evidence to take these claims seriously and that they cannot be dismissed easily as fraud or error. Once again, he is still skeptical but open minded. The theory behind this(other then the entire universe being mental) is that these abilities are natural, but a skill like a trained athlete. People who do special forms of meditation can gain these abilities.

I don't tell people what to believe, but it's always good to look at the evidence. Replace the word "psychic" with mental influence over physical reality" and it might help you rationalize it. I know that's a "woo woo" word.

Those things are described in the ancient yogic texts, and just like you said, these skills can allegedly be obtained by certain forms of meditation. I've met people who claim to have some of these abilities (manifesting things by force of will, in practice this could be obtained from 2,5 hours of certain Kundalini yoga activites three days in a row before sunrise). It could be coincidence of course, but there is no denying that these people get exactly what they want in a very uncanny way. Belief itself is very strong, which is why religion cannot be disregarded even if we were to know that it's self-deception
By the way did you see the CIA document that consists of an interview with an alleged remote viewer that "travels" to Mars and describes stuff? Extremely large temples inhabited by extremely large beings for example. It's fun no matter if it's true or not. The big question is why the CIA released this document, and some other outlandish shit

Yeah, I get what you mean - she definitely doesn't sugarcoat things which I can sort of get because hyperacusis is a miserable affliction.
On the other hand, I do think she can be very pessimistic - that's not me trying to enforce toxic positivity, and I don't know if she really keeps up with the research.
When I highlighted that Minbo Shim was a scammer people waged war against me
He was, and still is, one of the biggest charlatans in the field of tinnitus and otolaryngology, and yet he is still out there extracting tens of thousands from people with absolute impunity. He has never been pulled up or criticised on here and I'll never understand why. Most people looked the other way and let his scam slide, but in the next breath, would criticise people like JCH and Liam Boehm. I found this to be inconsistent and hypocritical.
You've done a good job with all the pill scammers, though. There's so many of them that action should be taken by an authority of some sort, but it never happens. People with debilitating conditions will always be taken advantage of.
I only take psi phenomena seriously that has been put in strict laboratory conditions or empricized in some other way. I'm open to anything crazy being real if it can be empiricized. Currently, I don't see enough evidence for remote viewing being real, but presentiment, mental RNG influence and telepathy have a considerable body of evidence that can't be ignored.
No, I did not read those CIA documents. But I had heard about Engo Swan remote viewing the rings of Jupiter before anyone had ever seen them. However, he made an error. Over all I think skeptics can pick apart remote viewing arguments because for one there almost certainly is not temples on mars.
What God you believe in, religion, and sacred symbols don't matter at all. Like Dean Radin said; if this psi phenomena of manifestation is true. It's all about mental intention. Meaning a religious person's prayers would have nothing to do with what they believe, but their own will power/mental influence effecting reality. What makes Eastern traditions more effective is that they have had several thousand years of meditation experience.
Finally, I don't know if it's real or not. But this is the kind of topic that most scientist/Academics™ stay away from with a ten foot pole, because it's a instant ticket to losing all their credibility and research grants. They have this built in "woo woo" alarm that prevents them from trying to rationalize it. Someone needs to figure out how to do controlled test on manifestation yoga. Until then I remain open minded but skeptical. But I know some people are already crying bullshit because this doesn't make sense under materialism.
It's a shame too because reading past stuff she seemed a bit more friendly and positive. Some things I've read are just so blunt and rude without being exactly helpful.
I've no doubt the years turned her bitter and jaded but the defensive pessimism does get a bit tired. Same for the veterans on Facebook who shoot down any talk of FX-322.
Like @weab00 said, it's the same as others in the opposite side of the spectrum. We can all agree that noise damage makes things worse, but the fact is not everyone's experiences are gonna be the same with it. I think you start having a bit of a God-complex after you've been in the game for awhile, either way.

No bells of mirth this night are singing,
but something else in my head's ringing.
The phantom-noise still holds its sway.
These thoughts of longing every day.
I wish I'd been a rooster penned.
With feathers grand, and ears that mend.

There once was a man with a ringing
So loud it would never stop singing
He swallowed a pill
With eloquent skill
And back to the clubs he was swinging!

You get tired of seeing posts like "hey, a ton of sounds feel painful all of a sudden, I believe it's because I've been really anxious, you guys think it's just some sound sensitivity and not hyperacusis? Also I use headphones sometimes and work in a loud environment but I don't think it's that right?"
If a cure comes, I don't think you guys will ever be able to go clubbing again.
We don't know, tinnitus is from years of over exposure without protection so that's a personal decision.
Two years ago, I made a post that acknowledged if I was cured, I would never even think about going to very loud places. I'm serious about that not being safe. My noxacusis is entirely gone now, but I'm not dumb enough to reexpose myself.
Yeah that's a good idea, especially when there's no treatment. I'm saying if we can cure the underlying cause then it becomes more of a gray area.

Great Lord Destroyer, such appetite for the fruits of my labour you have!
Once youthful of limb, now I am broken upon your body
A decade of work trampled under your feet
My reasons to be, and oh were they sweet, are ground up by terrible astral teeth!
Go on then Great Lord, eat your fill!
Drink of my tears until your head'll spin!
The more you devour, the more you take, the lesser my burden of Self you make
The less I aspire to be, the lesser my desire to be seen, the less I attach to illusions of "me"
Surely this is the lesson? Class is in session!
Though pointless I allow for my ash glaze obsession…
Through gritted teeth I recite your names, and refill the vessel with impermanent leaves
(this is a poem about tea, tinnitus, losing my passion in life and Lord Shiva)

Time for another New Age Truths, with a daily reminder that Rene Decarte made a false dichotomy of the Universe. Modern science got memed for over 400 years until Jane Goodall showed up with some damage control.
Basically, Rene Decarte declared natural as "material and dead matter" with the exception of a ghost that is suppose to live inside the human Pineal gland. Non-human animal's lacked this cartersian ghost, and the universe was dead matter and devoid of mental qualities. God's only job was to set the machine in motion and be the ultimate engineer. This mechanistic philosophy is great for building a iPhone or Airplane. Not so good for the well being of Animals or understanding the nature and science of consciousness.
It wasn't until the 1960's when Jane Goodall (a primatologist) showed up and argued that apes and monkeys also have consciousness. Then liberal minded views came about, to the point where now, as of 2020. Microbial biologist argue that microbes have minds.

I don't understand why it took scientist centuries to figure out animals were more then machines. They got memed by Rene Decarte. Before Goodall, and other liberal thinkers. They actually thought that dogs, horses, and everything else was mechanical. Yet we still assume the Universe is mechanical and operating under eternal laws. despite it having a beginning.

Even when I was blue pilled about regenerative medicine having monumental breakthrough's right around the corner. I had no problem accepting that I would never be able to be around very loud noise. I got mine from extremely loud headphones, not concerts.
So did I (barring all the concerts I went to because my dad is a musician), definitely going to be cautious of this stuff for the rest of my life. But I think a healthy balance will be possible to achieve if the medicine works well--if that's what you want, but tbh you're right that it would be smartest to remove yourself from those situations all together. Like I wouldn't use headphones again. But I could see myself going to a few concerts a year with ear protection.
People have different priorities. Some need music in their life and so it makes sense for them to take the risk. People who don't love music often don't understand that. Same with going to the cinema, I have found.

Yeah, I got my trauma mostly in the left ear from a car radio that was insanely loud (more so than any concert I've been to) and I really doubt that ear will ever return to normal. The potential damage is too chaotic at that loudness. Reducing tinnitus and potentially middle ear muscle twitching (assuming the central gain hypothesis impact on MEM is correct) would be cool though.

I miss the cinema greatly - if these treatments work, I will definitely go again although I would probably use musicians' earplugs as well. I think most of us will take care of our ears, assuming we get this fixed but I don't want to shut myself off from the things I used to enjoy.
That's exactly what my thoughts are, it's a risk benefit equation and if people are impassioned by loud things that's a risk they'll accept--while taking all necessary precautions. If it works out, we may even be able to just go back into the ENT office for another shot. We also have stuff like SPI-1005 in the pipeline that's been shown to prevent acoustic trauma, so all the different modalities will open up a lot more options.
Same, I love the cinema. I go with hearing protection and I haven't had a problem personally.
@Shera was saying on the Chit Chat thread that you can ask the cinema to turn the volume down! I had no idea you could do that, but definitely going to try it if we still have cinemas left after COVID

Even if I am cured I plan to carry my earplugs with me everywhere and wear them anytime I'm out and about where machines roam.
Man I just want to go to arcades and play music games again. I can sacrifice concerts and headphones and movies easily. I hope it's possible one day.
