General Comments
@EnopoletusHarding Can you help me go through figuring this out?
1. What does it mean to "connect a stick to your groin and nose."? Like attach a long stick from my nose to my groin? Can you explain the point of this? I don't really have long sticks like that so is there something else I could use?
2. What do "If the shoulders do not connect" and "If the groin does not connect" mean? Connect to what? Connect to the floor? I feel like shoulders and groin will always touch the floor when you lie on your stomach, no? I'm guessing it means something else then? Please explain like I was a literal 5-year-old.
I just don't really know how to know which one applies to me and how to test it. Pictures of what needs to be done would be helpful as well. Thanks!

@BionicD0LPH1N OK, fine, will do.
Tim McVeigh=severe backward groin, adequate shoulders. Eminem and Michel Foucault similar.
Joseph Goebbels, Aella Girl =severe backward shoulders, adequate groin
Neither=Dave Gahan, Ryan Gosling, presumably Richard Hanania judging by the eyes (the eye test is least reliable, but is also the easiest to do)

Both backwards shoulder and groin... well, the eye test is always reliable in these instances.

@EnopoletusHarding You answered none of my questions. You're using terms and inferences that I'm not knowledgeable about.

@BionicD0LPH1N 1. Only the floor.
2. Connect to the floor. No, in fact, they do not always do so. For most people, they do not even come close to doing so, either because their stomach or ribcage is simply too large.

@EnopoletusHarding Oh ok thanks, interesting. So for me, the shoulders connect easily but the groin barely does not.

@BionicD0LPH1N Hm; that is a really interesting insight. Thanks for sharing.

What does stomach sleeping on hard surface look like (picture would be awesome)?
Does the face face sideways, or straight down?
(also, i have both forward but wake up from sleep feeling horribly tired usually and have back and neck pain)

@XidaRen Look at Garfield in my avatar. Follow his example. I don't think he has a mattress; he looks like he sleeps in a cardboard box (which is a bit restrictive on the limbs, so I reccomend floor).
No, you don't have both forward, that's not actually possible. Lie down on the floor. Your shoulders should actually be touching the ground, as should your groin.

@Ppau Ive figured it out: free will (which is extremely evolutionary disadvantageous) is just a delay in communicatoon between hempisoheres. Its a product of bad sleeping posture. Left v. right brain dominance is posture determined.

Basically, a world in which you feel you are maki g the decisions is way worse for you and everyone else than a world in which you feel that you are being led by God.

There is zero reason for you to make five minutes to make a decision when you can just calculate it instantly with the unconscious mind with way, way better info.

Here's the issue: there was practically noone before Kjetil Larsen who understokd anything about posture. So the secret remained buried until me.

@Ppau Schizo seems to me the body's natural reaction to extreme flat back posture. Autism is just severe hemisphere dominance.

And what do mental hospitals do? They give patients huge beds... which makes it impossible to recover. The current treatment for spinal cord injuries is also truly atrocious btw.

I mean this is a fantastic way to turn a bad situation worse: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5FQ305xh5GQ

@Ppau Here's another revelation: since man is the third chimpanzee, man's spine was meant to be hyperflexed, never hyperextended.

I right now have consciousness, but not the concept of consciousness.
