to their blossom configuration (see post settings, select blossnom, put that URL in your preferred blossom setting). cody hasn't made this setting persistent, so if you log out you have to go back and set it again. ok, i will post about the next feature in a reply to this because it's currently being built

i had a dude once tell me that i was a "techno-phage" and i'm not sure he understood the meaning of this expression, because it isn't something about "magic" in the sense of shamanism or ritual or other variants. it's a word that means to devour. i might say that is probably correct, in a very abstract sense, though, i'm not an "art lover" but rather a sensitive critic of art, art, being the meaning of the word "techne" the greek. here is the definition of "phage" as it is used: ----- ● Phage has several related meanings: 1. Bacteriophage (shortened form) — A virus that infects and replicates within bacteria. This is the most common scientific usage. Phages are studied extensively in molecular biology and are being explored as alternatives to antibiotics (phage therapy). 2. Suffix: -phage — From Greek phagein (to eat/devour). Used to denote something that eats or consumes: - Macrophage — immune cell that engulfs pathogens - Osteophage — cell that breaks down bone tissue 3. Root: phago- — The eating/consuming concept also appears as a prefix: - Phagocyte — cell that engulfs particles - Phagocytosis — process of cellular "eating" 4. Rare standalone usage — Occasionally used poetically or in fiction to mean "one who devours" or "consumer." The underlying Greek root φαγεῖν (phagein) always carries the core meaning of consumption or devouring. ----- i definitely am hungry for techne. techne mainly meaning applied science. i am repelled by fashion, because it rarely involves actual novel technology, but when a "fad" seems to stop being a fad, i go all in, like i have with using LLM agents, and many other things in the past, psychedelics, stimulants, cutting edge experimental music... devourer of art. i like it. i'm gonna refer to myself as a techno-phage from now on. that dude was definitely onto something. btw, he also recited the entire "fool's jouruney" including each suit of the minor arcana. idk exactly where he had been but he certainly had been trained by someone who knows their shit.

● Native American Trackers & Hair: The Story The claim you're asking about is a widely-circulated story alleging that: 1. The U.S. military recruited Native American trackers from reservations during the Vietnam War for their exceptional tracking abilities 2. After military haircuts, these recruits lost their "almost supernatural" tracking skills 3. Secret tests supposedly proved long hair was essential to their abilities, leading the military to exempt them from haircut regulations The Verdict: Urban Legend This story is unverified and likely false. Key findings: - No historical documentation exists of specialized Native American scouting units with long-haired soldiers - The U.S. Army Special Forces historians have called the story "pure mythology" - The earliest traceable source is a 2010 blog post by David "Avocado" Wolfe, with no cited sources - No scientific evidence supports hair providing tracking or sensory abilities What's Actually True - Many Native Americans served in Vietnam (most volunteered before being drafted) - They were integrated into regular units, not special tracking units - The military did recruit scouts, but targeted Viet Cong defectors who actually knew the terrain and enemy tactics Alternative Explanations Some have proposed that if any decline occurred, it could be: - Psychological: Loss of confidence after losing a cultural symbol - Trauma: The forced haircut as cultural severance affecting morale Sources: -

The Relationship between native american long hair styles and extrasensory perception

An interesting find revealed that long hair in men was actually related to consciousness or the sixth sense. Does that sound preposterous? Lets del...

> so, in other words, the psychological torment of military service and degrading of the value of the individual is more important. and probably also the unfamiliarity of the loss of a part of their body they were used to from a young age ● Yes, that's a more grounded interpretation. Even without supernatural claims, there are real factors at play: Cultural trauma: For many Native American cultures, long hair carries deep spiritual and identity significance. Forced cutting was historically used as a tool of assimilation in boarding schools ("Kill the Indian, save the man" policy). A military haircut would echo that same cultural violence. Proprioceptive disruption: Hair does provide subtle sensory feedback - wind direction, proximity of objects near the head, environmental awareness. Someone who has had long hair since childhood would have decades of unconscious calibration to that input. Removing it suddenly could genuinely cause disorientation, similar to how people feel "off" after major physical changes. Military deindividuation by design: The uniform haircut serves the explicit purpose of stripping individual identity to create unit cohesion. For someone from a culture that was subjected to systematic erasure, this "standard procedure" carries a different weight entirely. Performance under psychological stress: If a tracker believes their ability is connected to their hair (regardless of whether it physically is), confidence matters. A demoralized, disoriented person performs worse than a confident one - that's not mysticism, that's basic psychology. The supernatural framing makes the story easy to dismiss. The actual dynamics of cultural trauma, bodily autonomy, and psychological warfare are harder to wave away.
