You’ve mentioned Pasek’s Doom a few times before, but I’m still not quite sure what it means. Something about taking your own headspace drama too seriously in self-destructive ways?
Pasek’s Doom is the name for induced internal conflict between hemispheres, named for Maia Pasek, whose death Ziz blames on suicide caused by hemisphere conflict. Supposedly after inducing a hemisphere split and finding out they were good male left brain and neutral female right brain, the right brain despairingly committed suicide and killed them both after being woken up enough to act in the world.
And I just realized I quoted OP’s source. I seriously got lost reading all of this. But It sounds like taking own headspace drama too seriously is about right.
Pasek couch surfered at my place a few days before he got into contact with Ziz or self-identified as trans and we had deep discussions, so I have a snapshot of who he was back then.
Pasek didn’t had the kind of head drama that the average person has. The term headspace drama suggests passivity that’s doesn’t really fit here. Pasek did a lot of self-modification. They had the ability to act in an aligned way and work 60-80 hours per week without akrasia.
In the end it seems like his logical part accepted that given that everybody dies (the latest at the heat death of the universe) life has no value and he sought meaning in transitioning and finding meaning out of feminity. Pasek started taking hormones.
A few months after taking hormones they were at traveling alone in Poland and committed suicide. Reading Ziz account suggests that Ziz was at the time the main person he spoke to, so he was cut of from his normal social ties at that moment.
