Mentality at Troynovant:
thoughts on the mind & mental operation,
including dreaming, telepathy,
& other speculative powers;
listed by Title
You may find it convenient to sideline mentally any clairvoyant insights, covert language, double meanings, dreaminess, elective affinities, psychological manipulation, seas of monsters, subliminal influence, or other speculative fancies while musing at Troynovant. As the Beatles say in Yellow Submarine,
It's all in your mind.
[On his last meeting with Friedrich Nietzsche, circa 1885-86:]
He was surrounded by an indescribable atmosphere of strangeness, by something that seemed to me completely uncanny. There was something in him which I had not known before, and much that had formerly distinguished him was missing. As if he came from a land where no one else lives.
Erwin Rohde
to Franz Overbeck, 24 January 1889R. J. Hollingdale

[Troy: the Greek camp, outside Achilles' tent.]
Ulysses:
Achilles will not to the field tomorrow. ...
Agamemnon:
Why, will he not, upon our fair request,
Untent his person and share the air with us?Ulysses:
Things small as nothing, for request's sake only,
He makes important. Possessed he is with greatness,
And speaks not to himself but with a pride
That quarrels at self-breath. Imagined worth
Holds in his blood such swoll'n and hot discourse
That 'twixt his mental and his active parts
Kingdomed Achilles in commotion rages
And batters 'gainst himself.William Shakespeare
Troilus and Cressida, 2.3.151, 156-165

4.3 Psycho-Kinetic FelinecideIn 1935, the physicist Erwin Schrödinger proposed a thought experiment — that he certainly had no intention of carrying out — intended to ridicule the notion that the act of becoming conscious of an outcome determined that outcome. ...
... quantum mechanics says that the photon ... has been both detected and not detected, that the signal to the gun has been both sent and not sent, that the gun has been both fired and not fired, and that the cat is both dead and alive. The act of opening the container and looking at the condition of the cat would be the first act by which the experimenter could determine which way the photon went. It would thus be that act that would either kill the cat or grant it a stay of execution. ... Whether the cat lives or dies is determined exclusively by the experimenter's becoming consciously aware of the cat's state by looking at it. ...

[The theory of elementary waves] explains these polarization experiments without any special measurement theory. ...
