You Know I Was Thinking About It And Since Both The Force And The Inner Workings Of The Human Mind Are

you know i was thinking about it and since both the force and the inner workings of the human mind are arguably non-observable phenomena i think force-based academia should look a lot like psychology. current arguments and achievements of note include:

are the living and universal force actually different???

are the living and universal force actually connected at all???

those two factions of academics who hate each other's guts and theories and methodology (feat. pragmatists who figured out that the theories work together really effectively when practiced??? just saying)

FIGURING OUT WHY IT WORKS IS SECONDARY TO THE FACT THAT IT DOES WORK, JOCASTA

YOU CANNOT JUST DO THINGS WITH THIS METHOD WHEN YOU CAN'T ESTABLISH ITS SCIENTIFIC VALIDITY, YODA

that one researcher who accidentally won the space nobel prize in physics while trying to figure out how it is Physically Possible for the Jedi to do That One Thing

we have no empirical evidence that "the force" exists and therefore we can ONLY make conclusions based on observable events--- (loud angry yelling)

incredible amounts of popular misinformation and pseudoscience being distributed to the public still somehow

psychometric abilities: discrete or dimensional?

look. this experiment was completely unethical and we would never do anything like it today BUT---

this used to be true but then we told people about it and it changed as a result of that awareness. no we're not lying to you----

everything can be 100% traced back to a biomedical source

nothing can be 100% traced back to a biomedical source

force abilities are actually linked to overarching social factors like socioeconomic status of parents and--- *yelling from the back* OKAY BUT WHAT DO WE DO WITH THAT

look. listen. 60% applicability is golden in this field. you're a hard science researcher you wouldn't understand how hard it is to study an invisible energy field with a mind of its own

and, of course, the interdisciplinary argument staple

that isn't actually a real science :/

writeblr intro my beloved

Hey everyone! This is my intro to the tumblr community. I've been liking and reblogging things in silence for the past few months, but I've always intended to make a formal post to announce myself in some way.

I go by a lot of names, so I don't really have a preference for what I'm called, although I've used my current alias (genevys) for a while now. I'm male, I use any pronouns, and I'm turning 20 soon after this post goes up.

I've suffered with mental health issues over the years, and writing, like for many others, has helped me cope. I enjoy writing and planning with other people in the form of roleplay, but I'm also writing my first fanfiction.

My goal is to one day establish a community based off of a Star Wars universe I've had in the works for a few years, called Rebirth. It's a complete blank slate of the Star Wars franchise with its only canon being the original six movies—the Original and Prequel Trilogies, akin to what Disney did in 2014. The goal with Rebirth is to remain true to the original Star Wars vibe and create a story that people will be interested in writing, and others interested in seeing.

My WIP, the first installation in Rebirth, will be called Revenant of the New Republic. It's an epic tale with themes of death & rebirth and will take place three years after the Battle of Endor. It's recently entered the writing stage, which has given me most of the courage to write this in the first place.

I'm taking inspiration from the EU comic Dark Empire in the writing process, though with heavy alterations and my own twists to it. This includes the return of Palpatine in a way that doesn't undermine Anakin's sacrifice, Luke Skywalker's struggle with the Dark Side and further exploration of his heritage, the introduction of a twelve-year-old deuteragonist who Luke swears to protect, and the New Republic's struggle to balance the creation of a peaceful society with rising threats both new & old.

I'm 100% open to making new friends even if you're not at all interested in the sort of writing I do. I also need to start reading more, so if you've got any suggestions, don't be afraid to reach out for any reason!

YOU WERE WATCHING THIS LIVE THIS WHOLE TIME?

Ok... kinda crazy... I thought you were gonna be like "yeah, I'm a boy," or something, not, "I'm your sleep paralysis demon (The dark presence behind you that you cannot turn around to see.)"

Nice skin choice, I don't like a lot of the cel shaded (?) skins on Fortnite but that one looks good. (I barely play Fortnite)

You sort-of kind-of know me... I think we're in each other's radar

Ok so this is going to be a REALLY specific question since it's only one of two (maybe three) people that would type like that, KNOW me, and I know you

Have you ever dm'd me the word nerd?
