>are you a doctor?

No and I’m not trying to diagnose you or something. You brought it up so I felt I should be honest based on what little I know about the condition. Take it with a grain of salt.

>I can tell you anecdotes of hearing never before heard person names and couple days later stumbling upon them (usually watching shows I routinely watch)

If you routinely watch the show, maybe it came up earlier and you forgot?

>point is - this is not my burden and shouldn't be.

See I get what you mean. I’m not trying to say it’s your responsibility or something. I just don’t think you should have to put up with shit that bothers you all the time, and were I correct that it’s some known medical condition, it might be much easier to make it stop than if it’s a massive organized group trying to manipulate you. Do you lose anything giving the medical thing a shot?

no

a lot

why do you think it has to be massive and organized? I estimate that with a good know how-to whole thing costs about $1k in equipment and runs unattended.

  • I thought it was from telecom towers?

    • I think so too. it's a radio antenna and some software that can run unattended. what I can do is note how accessible such tech is - reasoning about scale of anonymous entity is somewhat pointless (you called out massive & organized).

why do you suppose blind from birth people are immune to schizophrenia?

  • Are they? I figure they just don’t have visual hallucinations.

    • perhaps immunity ain't confirmed. but just recently there was an article of a complete absence of documented cases. not a single blind from birth person has ever been diagnosed with schizophrenia. why do you suppose that's so? if I put on my conspiracy hat and go balls to the wall - arguably whole disease thing can be painted as a hoax, as an another form of a societal control. how have you ruled out such possibility? have you read about mental disease treatment from 1950s and after-lobotomy surgery ice cream treats? I don't have visual hallucinations either
