That's common for 5-MeO. It has a fairly high body load. Although through lots of work with it you can get used to it and it lessens with use. But your first 50 trips or so will tend to be nauseating. Then stop taking such high doses. If you are worried about blacking out, your doses are too high. Don't ego-dose. Medium doses are better. It could happen on any chemical if you take too much. You can black out from alcohol. 5-MeO is just so potent in such small quantities that it's easier to overdose than mushrooms or DMT.

I had that and it got me no girls. You can't get girls if you don't learn to socialize. Pickup is just the skill of socializing. Many guys get rich only to realize they still can't get girls because they sacrificed social skills for success. Girls don't sleep with the rich guy, they sleep with the fun social guy. Good looks are great, but if you don't have them you still need a way of getting girls.

It is not possible to live without thinking. You can mimimize unncessary thinking and you can have small windows of no thinking.

The peni-borous.

Enlightenment is simply independent of development. A chimpanzee could have an enlightenment. Awakening and development simply need to be treated as independent variables, orthogonal axes.

Yup. Exactly.

Of course. Academic philosophy is as corrupt as science. Maybe moreso. At least science produces useful technology and advances the economy. Of course there is an ultimate, final version of science which integrates mysticism, God, philosophy, epistemology, ontology, and spirituality and ends in Omniscience. That would be true science. That's what I'm trying to help create. But the consensus is so far from that today that I don't even call that science. There is the science of today, and there is the science of 500 years from today. I am 100% for the science of 500 years from now. I am against the science of today.

They are good at that.

It's more horrible as an institution and a sub-culture. The whole academic science machine.

Science is not some pure abstract thing. Science is whatever today's scientific consensus believes it is. Science can be much better, but only if the consensus shifts, which it refuses to do. Improving science is like pulling teeth.

You understand it enough to build an entire worldview out of it.

Well, in practice they are close enough to each other that there will be much overlap and muddling. But there is a significant difference between Tier 1 and Tier 2. Tier 1 (Green) is not aware of the developmental psychology stages and still tries to force Green on every other stage. Yellow is supposed to be above that. That it a crucial difference. Whether mild Yellow can actually embody that difference is suspect, but a solid Yellow should, otherwise it's not really Yellow. Yellow should not be pushing his stage on everyone else who isn't yet ready for it.

That crazy conformity is finally paying off for them

I am talking about understanding that Wittgenstein is overrated

But understanding is not a language game.
