Digital Intuition

I like community.

I've always been drawn to people co-creating something greater than themselves. People relying on people and people helping people. Giving when someone is in need, and receiving graciously. I especially enjoy it when people get together and just share. Sharing food, sharing laughs, sharing stories, and sharing time together. There's something about getting together with a group of friends and finding that you all are on the same page. 

This basic synthesis of minds is attained. Where everyone's minds are going down the very same track at the very same speed. Almost like you are all one organism, reveling in the nature of itself. You finish one another's sentences, and laugh before the punchline of every joke. Communication within this tightly woven community is as close to perfection as it will ever be. 

I enjoy moments like these very much. This time spent with friends. 

I can't say I've ever experienced this on the internet. Or maybe I have, I just don't remember. I think it can happen. That same level of synthesis between multiple minds. I think this is due to our minds, however, not the internet. Our minds can transcend the limitations of the internet. We can fundamentally understand the energy of the person on the 'other side.' We might not even have an intimate knowledge of the person we are talking to, but we have an understanding of our own minds, and we can predict and guess how the other person is feeling/acting. It's not the social cues, it's not the tone of the written word on the screen. There is some energy, some force, that communicates the intention and state of mind of the person on the other side. 

Call it telepathy or what have you. But I believe it's there. 

It's how you tell a mass text from a personal one. It's how you feel the nonchalance of what are you up to? and the searing indictment of what are you up to?
It's contextual, yes. But not wholly dependent upon context.
The best thing about this energetic link between human minds is that it's impossible to mimic. There are no computer programs, to my knowledge, that you can chat with and feel the same way you would talking to another human being, even over the internet. Even if it's someone you've never met before, you can talk to them online and still get a sense for who they are, and how they feel. That's how they feel to you, not exactly their emotional state. But you're gut feeling, your intuition. Your sense of this person, of their essence and how they relate to you. Perhaps their inferior to you, or superior. Dumber than you or smarter than you. Somehow you can know. You can tell if someone is hurt from your cyber bullying, or if they just shrug it off. You can tell if someone wants to be your friend, or if their just using you for their own ends. I don't believe these perceptions are entirely constructs of our isolated minds. I believe our brains can sense very minute and subtle things beyond our immediate realm of perception and can inform us as to what the other person is really like. I believe this sense extends over digitally mediated forms of communication as well. And this is your digital intuition.
