The whistlerverse is a good group of channels to resort to for info, as long as the topic isn’t psychology.

True, yes. In fact, this is the majority of cases I have encountered. But for the sake of devil’s advocate, I wanted to represent the instances one might say are fair.

As it happens, exactly a day later after I said anything, a famous science commentator dropped the first bombshell on this often-fidgeted-with topic, complete with the same cited sources.

Heh, I am amused someone is referencing this thread (which I forgot about) for a book about the noosphere being a part of the fediverse and being federated (through a technology built by aliens that uses a combination of machines with airwaves and dream influencing to unify dreams, which is a part of the fediverse) and the fact the reason we might not realize we’re in each others’ dreams is because the appearances in the dreams differ in inconsequential ways in the same way multiple versions of redrawn scenes or parallel style fiction do due to being federated, with the occasional individual defederation.

When someone in the artist community says OC, it always means that, and nobody ever actually spells it out. So my thinking was, if there were as many artists on here as I thought there would be, someone might have one they could talk about.

Should I not assume people won’t think USA stands for Uncle Sam Association?

OC stands for Original Character.
