The jungian shadow (or subconscious) is a narcissist. It tricks the conscious mind into believing lies to make itself feel better. So it will invent all the lies about how you're special. I just don't know how it produced the hallucinations.
Shit man, maybe it's better if I don't dig around in my shadow like I planned. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia maybe 12 years ago.

How accurate is this book? For someone who doesn't know much about particle physics or astronomy this sounds as fantastic as origin myths in religion. How are scientists able to predict what happened seconds after the big bang when they can't even predict if it'll rain tomorrow....

Why Might Congenital Blindness Protect Against Schizophrenia?
Differences in Brain Development
People born blind have structural and functional changes in their brains, particularly in areas related to sensory processing and perception. These changes might provide resilience against the neural disruptions that contribute to schizophrenia.
Lack of Visual Hallucinations
Visual processing is a major factor in schizophrenia. Since congenitally blind individuals do not have visual experiences, they may be less susceptible to certain hallucination-related mechanisms.
Enhanced Social Processing
Blind individuals often develop strong social and verbal communication skills, which might protect against the social withdrawal and cognitive dysfunction associated with schizophrenia.
Reduced Dopamine Dysregulation
Schizophrenia is linked to excessive dopamine activity, particularly in the visual and cognitive regions. Since blind individuals process the world differently, their dopamine systems may be less prone to the disruptions that trigger psychosis.

How the hell do you actually retain what you study?
Serious question: how do you guys actually remember the absurd amount of info in uni-level STEM courses? I’m trying to grind through physics and chem, but after a week it’s like my brain does a factory reset. I’ll spend hours reading, solving problems, watching lectures… and two days later I forget what a goddamn mole is.
I’ve tried Anki but making cards manually is actual suffering. I end up spending more time formatting cards than studying. Someone in a Discord I lurk in mentioned an app https://flashcards.ai — supposedly you just paste your notes or textbook pages and it spits out a deck. Haven’t tried it yet but might give it a go before finals kill me.
How do you study effectively? Is it just reps and pain? Do you make summary sheets, or just trust in spaced repetition and hope for the best? Any unconventional methods welcome.
