Step by step — try it yourself
Take a text.
Now rotate between:
-
Only looking at spelling (without looking at the meaning of the words).
-
Only looking at meaning (without looking at the spelling).
This feels different. Congratulations — you have alternated between dimensions.
You used two parts of your brain independently.
By looking from different angles, you rotated the density point in your brain in a different way.

How to use different regions of your brain without having to control your brain
A cleaner way to describe this is rotating the dimension — changing the way you look at reality.
Take a text.
First, only look at the meaning of the text.
Next time, only look at the spelling, without letting the meaning spill over.
Congratulations — you have now rotated the “density point” in your brain toward a different area. You used a different part of your brain without having to consciously control your brain or your breath.
How does this work?
Imagine a flat sheet of paper with a ball resting on the surface. By switching dimensions, the ball shifts to a different part of the sheet. In the same way, by changing the dimension through which you observe reality, you shift activity to a different part of your brain — or a different part of you.
World’s Most Fun Game: An Introduction to Multidimensional Thinking
Multidimensional thinking is notoriously hard to explain. Everybody is so stuck in their own way of looking at reality that it becomes almost impossible to get close to each other’s perspective. I’m going to try once again.
I know a lot of editors. Some editors only look at the dimension of spelling. Some only look at the underlying meaning of things. Others focus solely on punctuation.
If everyone looks at the same text, each person still sees something different.
Reality works the same way. When I look at a wooden table, I see something different than you do. For my dog, the wooden table is simply a tool to reach food.
So, one object exists in multiple dimensions at the same time.
Numbers, for instance, only exist when you look at reality through your “number glasses.” I’m 37, and I have never seen a number in the physical world. I can imagine that some people perceive numbers in geometrical shapes, but you could argue that numbers don’t really exist. Just like atoms and molecules: they only exist when you look at reality from a certain angle.
This is where the fun begins. All smart people have figured this out and are trying to find as many hidden dimensions as possible.
Do we live in multiple parallel universes at the same time?
We don’t. You can’t split life — life is the most fundamental force there is. So it’s not that we live in multiple parallel universes simultaneously. But we do exist in multiple dimensions at once. Also, we are both the sum of our organs and all individual organs at the same time. These concepts are surprisingly hard to grasp.
So am I my brain? Yes. But I am also my little toe. I am my brain and my little toe and all other parts together.
The way you look at reality also determines what it becomes
If you look at reality in a religious way, that’s what you see. If you look at it scientifically, all you see is science. In reality, these perspectives are much closer than you think.
I have found so many bizarre things that it feels surreal.
* why this is important
Because our universe started in multiple dimensions too. Looking at something only as “sound and a bang” is just one dimension of reality. The fact that it expands, and that you can calculate backwards, is just one slice of the whole pie.
And this is where religion comes in. Have you ever noticed that Genesis is almost the same as the Big Bang theory, with one big difference? It’s zoomed out and less precise. It’s about observing and watching from far away how life emerged —
from a different dimension.
Letter to Myself
I can’t stand the term ADHD.
My whole family is filled with criminals, crooks, lowlifes, entrepreneurs, boxers, and dancers.
Most of them clearly have ADHD. Do you know who doesn’t give a f*** about ADHD?
Everyone in my family.
I have it too. I scored so high on ADHD tests that the doctor couldn’t believe it.
I don’t care.
If I could design a pointman, I would always choose these traits:
-
High energy
-
High adaptability
-
Creativity
-
Speed
These are absolutely vital evolutionary skills.
People with ADHD are like hunters or kickboxers. You observe and do nothing 99% of the time (for outsiders it looks like you're doing nothing), but in the 1% when you enter hyperfocus, you’re unbeatable.
That’s why people without “ADHD” should start looking at people with ADHD differently.
ADHD is not for the faint-hearted. But if you want to play with the best, you get tested harder. That’s how it’s supposed to be.
I think we should forget the term ADHD and reintroduce hunters and gatherers again.
Most people are gatherers. They can work an office job at 70% intensity, which is a beautiful and respectable trait.
I can work for one minute straight before I get bored. The problem is that “working” is actually a layered concept. I work in circles. That means I start a task, and a minute later I’m doing something else, and another minute later something else again. Why? Because that’s how I gather information. It’s much faster to start a lot of tasks, because every time you do something, you get new information that changes the entire direction.
If you’re like me, focus on:
-
Keeping your body in top shape
-
Making sure your diet is on point
-
Throwing electronics out of the window as much as possible
Let’s say this is your life:
-
Last night you ate a bag of M&Ms
-
This morning you had Choco Pops
-
You don’t work out
-
You have a screen time of 3 hours
It’s virtually impossible not to feel like you have ADHD if that’s your regimen.
The M&Ms give you fast energy, which makes you restless.
Choco Pops do the same, and they also slow you down afterward.
If you don’t work out, you can’t burn off that energy.
And the screen time will knock you out — you’re built for observing, for sharp observation skills, and here you are staring at a screen from 5 centimeters away.
PS
Being inattentive does not exist. You are forming new connections. It looks like you’re not paying attention, but forming new connections takes time.
