New sections on progress, taboos, and metacognition
image
New image on progress
Added a full-width section that puts yesterday's obvious truths, today's technical capabilities, and the limits of what we can say is impossible side by side.
text
Text added about progress and the impossible
Added a narrative progression from the Middle Ages to 2056 to remind us that what seems crazy at one time can become normal or outdated later.
All that to say that you can't say what I'm saying isn't possible. Who knows what will openly be recognized as possible to do in the future?
image
New image on taboos
Added an illustrated section about how hard it is to talk about the phenomenon because of taboos, shame, and the medical reflex.
text
Text added about taboos
The text explains that common opinion shapes how the experience is perceived and can push it toward a purely medical reading.
It's hard to talk about this because of the taboos and the shame. And yet I feel like it's not normal because common opinion says it's not normal.

New image on intelligible voices
Added a section that distinguishes the described experience from a simple word salad or unintelligible voices.
text
Text added about the nature of the voices
Added a passage specifying that the voices heard are contextualized, personal, sometimes dialogued, and tied to current thoughts.
I don't hear voices like it's a word salad, I hear people talking, sometimes among themselves, like colleagues or friends would, sometimes with me.
image
New image about planted seeds
Added an image + text section about surprising phrases that come back later in memory and spark reflection.
text
Text added about impulses and subtlety
The section makes it clear the experience isn't limited to words: it can include impulses, mental images, ambiguous thoughts, and a mix of internal and external elements.
It's not just words, sometimes it's impulses, images in my imagination, clumsy mistakes, thoughts that don't seem like mine or that would come from my subconscious.
text
New section on metacognition
Added a text-only section that names the habit of asking yourself why you think what you think.
So I've gotten into the habit of asking myself why I think what I think, that's what metacognition is apparently called.
