Reverse parroting/ puppeting theory

[NED]

Yeah, I agree. If what you are doing seems correct to you personally, then carry on. Man, I should have learnt that sooner.

Picture this: you don't doubt yourself.

 

The whole scene changes.

 

The sentience you might see is so inseparable from your parrots, it's impossible not to question yourself. I kept asking, "What if that voice I imagined was my tulpa?" If it's a parrot, great, I've just encouraged my parroting to get stronger; which, by the way, doesn't feel much like a real person, but I end up trusting it anyway because that's all I know at that point.

 

On the same token I have to ask, "What if that sentience was actually a parrot?" Because I don't want to keep encouraging parroting that won't develop my tulpa. To make sure, I go a little further, and I hear what is undeniably another parrot. Either my voice masked my tulpa or that was never a sentient response at all. Neither of those two results gave me any confidence in my progress. It only served to deter me.

Again, Fig, you're going too much along the thoughts of "seperating parroting from sentience". What if I told you that parroting IS sentience? No, that wasn't a serious sentence, but you're not supposed to distinguish anything. Just roll with it and stop thinking so much about it. Worrying kills everything.

So does parroting into oblivion. You can't unworry this problem away. It's like not worrying about a truck coming at you at 70mph.

That has got to be the weirdest comparison I saw in a long time.

[Avalanche]

There are equally destructive. Obviously not physically, you can't die from parroting, but they will both still ruin a life.

 

Save a life today.

 

Don't parrot.

 

Drink responsibly.

I have now diagnosed you with Anti-Parroting Syndrome. Thank you for your time.

Ima just sit back and let Fede fight for our theory.

[Avalanche]

Calling common sense a syndrome? Sounds like you're the one with the syndrome. I just hope Pinkie doesn't suffer for it.

If you or NED want to try doing that, I can't stop you. Based on personal experience, I don't expect good things though. The surprise and confidence from hearing your tulpa's first words won't happen, and their voice might not sound so distinct from your own thoughts even when they are sentient, if they reach sentience. I don't know. I just don't want anyone else or their tulpa to go through what I did to get this far. I'm wishing your tulpas luck more than anything.
