Blue light, 'Adrenal ASMR': strange experiences I can't find any literature about
YimbyGeorge4mo10

Flickering lights may cause and are used to test for epilepsy. From that a very far fetched hypothesis is that you may just be more sensitive to blue light. People do get religious visions staring at lights, can be explained by minor seizures. So all just a very wild guess on my part ;-)

Have you been tested for epilepsy? 

Otherwise this is like a meditation focussed state?

Some conclusions should be drawn from  existing countries which use the death penalty well, example Singapore. Low crime is great!

Is there a list of questions we expect gpt5 to solve that gpt 4 does not? Also I get the feeling that gpt has seen or been asked all this before. Original questions are hard to do.

Seen this wherever there is rank and yank. People write cool but obfuscated code. Never update documents and. Ignore requests for help from colleagues.
