theres no coming back from looking into the data on 1800s experiments regarding human sensitivity to electricity and how much it varies, looking at the voltages they were using, and comparing it to how much the average person is exposed to today. im not coming back from this
apparently the extent to which people vary in terms of sensitivity to electricity is so much so that some people in the 1800s couldnt even be exposed to weak electrical "wands" without getting headaches while other people would stop the shock if holding hands in a chain of people
some of these experiments used like one volt. obviously compare that to a nine volt battery. and the biological changes they observed were insane. there was a whole field of studying the biological effects and medical uses of electricity that is totally forgotten.
its entirely possible that a lot of these weird new mental and health problems people exhibit are a result of being surrounded by electricity all the time and / or them being uniquely sensitive to it. what doctor would ever consider this today when diagnosing?
theres layers to the insanity because imagine, you have someone who is anxious all the time and just feels weird all the time. if they go out into nature, a cabin, maybe they feel a little more relaxed. but they would assume its the nature. theyd never consider the electricity.
a defibrillator is an electric charge that can restart your heart (basically). so we take it for granted and have empirical evidence that electricity can really really really affect your organs and "life force'. but its an unintuitive leap to consider its daily effect, isnt it.
im kind of tripping out reassessing a lot of things. for example electricity can give ur mouth this distinct metallic taste, right. when you (dont do drugs they make you stupid) take LSD people report a metallic taste in their mouth. ive had that. its very distinct and noticeable
its such a distinct feeling in ur mouth that i can imagine it and almost feel it rn while typing this. well, ur senses like sight + hearing are "enhanced" (in a way) on psychedelics. what if its not the drug but ur heightened senses feeling and tasting the electricity around u
the results they were getting in the 1800s involved less electricity than you're probably exposed to every single day. havent run the numbers totally on that. but how could you even study it today? everyone is around it 24/7. the sensitivity variability is the real game changer.
just buy this book. ive been aggressively seeking out the craziest most "out there" stuff possible for a large chunk of my life + the first few chapters have already blown my mind. theres a level of "okay yeah of course" but seeing it laid out is next level. just get it right now 
lmao ok
