Eliezer, on number three: I give it a 5% chance that I’m talking about the same thing as you, and that’s before applying my overconfidence factor of 0.6. You’re talking about injecting instructions into your motor plan. I’m visualing doing the thing really hard. It seems to work? It’s like I’m deliberately making a few predictions about the next few seconds, and just continuing to visualise those things rather than thinking about something else, then I just start moving. Is this the same thing you’re talking about? Or am I just doing some form of “Yud said this would work, something, something, placebo effect”? Or is it kinda the same thing in this case because I’m deciding to believe? This is not something I’ve done previously, I just read this article yesterday and tried it.
