Tulpa helping out during college?

I find it hard to believe that the "perfect memory" thing is actually... a thing. Your tulpas use the same memory techniques as the rest of your brain. While we can help by sorting things via association and offering different angles to things, we're still limited by what a standard human brain can do (that is, unless you have this condition, which sounds kind of terrible to me), and a standard human brain has a way of processing and sorting memories that is efficient and pretty prone to error. I could be proven wrong, but I have a hard time believing a tulpa would be able to completely get around that.

 

But we can help in other ways. We can keep you motivated, or kick you in the pants when you should be studying, or take over on a particular subject if they're more interested in it than you are. I still wouldn't take "an insane amount of classes" because, again, you are limited by what a single human brain can do. Schoolwork strains your brain and takes mental energy, and that clock ticks down no matter who is in control. A tulpa might feel fresher tackling a subject they're interested in and be better at learning about it... but the tulpa will still feel tired after a night of studying, and swapping back will only move that tiredness onto you.

 

Point is, don't strain yourself or your headmates. Tulpas aren't a trick to cheat your way through university. You'll just have to go through it the old fashioned way, like everyone else.

Tewi helps me a lot with college, I've written a few posts mentioning it.

Tulpas can help you remember things, but they don't necessarily have perfect memory if you don't. If anything I'd say you have equal abilities to remember things, but the ways in which you make your memories (what's considered important and what you focus on) can be different. For example, I'm an outstanding case of "My tulpas can't remember anything I can't", though I've seen opposite examples too.

 

The primary difference you would see is just their will and mindset to do things. Studying with your tulpa could help strengthen memories of what you learned though, and then talking to them could refresh those memories.

Yep, as others have said, tulpas are not a lifehack to get you through college without lifting a finger. But they do help.

As far as the "perfect memory" thing goes, there is no such thing as a perfect memory.

 

There are perfectly "mundane" methods to achieve better memorization and retrieval of information, i have like 7 books on the subject. These skills can be used in conjunction with Tulpamancy skills in order to go about it in a more streamlined way, but like I said, there's no such thing as a perfect memory and definitely nothing innately tulpamancy related about the subject.

 

As for us, I am still going through college and med programs, and my systemmates generally despise it. Zaya and Minami hate being drug into helping me with college related work, but they'll begrudgingly oblige if I'm persistent.

 

Rhine doesn't mind assisting me, but he'll constantly make comments about how he's displeased that were forced to do it at all.

 

Like others have said, they can help, but it's not like their actually obliged to do so.

[shock, member of Hail] My system's experience is in agreement with what others have said here. Having tulpas is no magic fix. That said, some tulpamancy skills like better visualization and imposition, if you learn how to do them, can help. They definitely helped my system with designing parts and then machining them. But one could learn those skills without making tulpas. That said, making a tulpa can certainly offer more motivation to develop those skills.

 

And like the others said, the body eventually wears down and switching doesn't fix that. That said, switching or otherwise exchanging control can help when a one person gets too frustrated at the problem at hand to be able to really be efficient anymore, but do remember that emotions can to some degree carry over to the next body controller so it isn't a perfect fix. In addition, if one person completely burns out and falls apart, sometimes another will be isolated from the fallout just enough to still be able to function. We've had these experiences. The latter happened last summer, actually, when my subsystem completely broke down and Tri had to take over. Just note, such a circumstance is not one you want to go through and certainly not one to want one's tulpas to go through either because it is really hard.

 

Funny story. With our PhD defense (yes, we are Dr. Falls), my subsystem did the public part (the presentation) while Tri did the private part with the committee, all on a thesis we wrote together. We made a pretty good team.

Wow, really? So they record memories themselves . . . or else, they're a different part of your brain recording what you don't pay conscious attention to?

[Lucilyn]

no he said the opposite, we can't remember what he can't. Some people say their tulpas help them remember things but not us. Like, we could both try and remember something, or like remind through talking, but I can't just literally remember something one of the others couldn't.

 

But! We do see ourselves in memories instead of our host's body, so that's cool. Actually, I "see myself" right now, if I think about it. Not so practical in practice, 'cus he's like six foot two and male, but at least in memories and feeling I look like me. But yeah our memories aren't different in how we access them, but they are different in how we 'record' them. Anyone will remember memories from the person who made them's perspective.

 

Anyways our minds are completely totally different and that's what counts. We can "hear" each others' thoughts but none of us think the same. We still get along though.

I have dyscalculia, which is basically dyslexia but with numbers.

 

Jamie is a math genius.

 

I'm not in school and wasn't in school when Jamie and I started interacting, but he helps me out with daily math, like adding up bills or figuring out percentages. If he'd been around with me when I was in high school, I know he would have saved my ass. As it was, I went it alone and never passed Algebra 1.
