So around this time, Gwen claims she came up with a tactic for successfully separating and harnessing the power of different hemispheres of someone's brain.

The tactic was unihemispheric sleep.

And this is a process by which only one half of your brain sleeps at a time.

In a critical write-up published as a warning before the killings that are to come, a rationalist named Apollo Mojave writes, normally it is not possible for human beings to sleep with only one hemisphere.

However, a weak form of UHS can be achieved by stimulating one half of the body and resting the other.

Like hypnosis or fasting, this is a vulnerable psychological state for a person.

Entering UHS requires the sleeper to be exhausted.

It also has disorienting effects, so they are not quite themselves.

And I disagree with them that like, there's no, they're not just actually sleeping with only one hemisphere.

And in fact, I think they may have taken this idea from Warhammer 40,000.

That's so funny.

Because it's something space marines do.

Because yeah, what are you talking about?

Yes, if you don't let yourself sleep for long periods of time and let yourself zone into a meditative state, you'll get a trippy effect.

You will become altered.

You're altering your state.

This is why cults deprive people of sleep.

You can fuck with people's heads a lot when they're in that space, but this isn't what's happening.

I like to think of them on...

On the boat, just only using one half of their body.
