Our brain is very good at filling in. The human senses are be y flawed and our brain is working hard to emulate what would be most likely the things you should sense. So the easy answer would be, if you come back from a moment of sensing nothing our brain fills this period with stuff that make sense to the Individuum. Thats why everyone sees the things they belive in (god, Jesus, afterlife etc.)

I was thinking of a different kind of protest then. Were im from this would involve civil unrest. Our cops arent as trigger happy like yours i guess.

Do not use Smartphones. For the scarf use an unmarked tubescarf, its easely hidden in any collar. Cary bandages and lightsalt solution, like you use for contacts, to treat teargas and light wounds. If they get you you want nothing outside oft your memory that has any link to others. Depending in the effect of carrying your passport with you in your country decide wether to take it along.

Its important because you endanger not just yourself but anyone who is possibly linked through your activities. Your actions are your own responsibility. If you are able to protect others in this Situations you should. And i hope you only document voilation oft power with your leika and not others protesting.

Burner means non Smartphone with a fresh anonymous sim. Its not easy to get but important enough to “jump the hoops”
