You can create other new meanings, however psychedelics can undermine meaning across the board, so you should be careful. You might undermine stuff that you will regret. Obviously this is a very personal matter. But undermining of meaning can be a painful and dysfunctional thing if done too hastily. You don't want to lose your passion for life. If you strip away all of life's meaning you will end up depressed with nothing to live for. This becomes more of a risk if you do a lot of psychedelics. So keep an eye out for that and dial if back if you are starting to lose too much meaning.

It's hard to say because my desire for that waa already pretty low. Psychedelics have made me less motivated to do business and to work long hours. Psychedelics tend to undermine meaning, so things that you used to find meaningful are not as meaningful any more.

@shree No one can predict how you will react. Even from trip to trip your reactions could vary. Yes, there is a chance that 5-MeO will open things up in your mind and force you to confront difficult existential material, including depression. Any deep and serious trip can leave you depressed for a while because you are confronting life, death, love, etc.

Just a heads up. The SSL certificate for Actualized.org is set to expire at the end of today. I have been trying to renew it now for a week but there has been a technical difficulty with my hosting company which they have not yet resolved, despite efforts. So it's possible the certificate will expire tonight and the website will be harder to access or lose some functionality. I am working to fix this, hopefully by the end of today but it might take a few days longer. If the SSL expires your browser will give you a security warning screen before you can access the site. There's not really any security issue, it's just a standard warning that browsers give these days. We should have this fixed within a few days. Thanks for your patience.

@Francis777 I heard such theories before. You can find 20 wack doctors with 20 different magic theories, none of which are validated by science.

If you do 5-MeO carefully nothing will happen to you. 5-MeO passes within a few hours and you are back to normal. The only thing you gotta pay attention to is not physically injuring yourself while high.

It's great. Similar to 5-MeO-DMT.

Thanks but this was a one-time thing.

The issue has been fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience.

That spiritual blood Koan for you: If a mosquito sucks the blood of a Buddha does it get woke?

What if humans came from rats?

Hard for me to say as I never had one.

I understand your concern. Let me share this story with you to cheer you up: My grandparents got married when they were around 16. They lived together into their 80s. When my grandmother died my grandfather said, I just want to die and be with her. A few years later he did. They were buried next to each other.

You'd have to be insane to make up a story like that. It sounds legit to me. Thanks for sharing your perspective.

An Egyptian Pharaoh would be something.

Maybe I would. He might be good to shake things up.

I like his positions on anti-corporate stuff. He's got a pretty mature view of politics. I would vote for him but for his anti-vaxness.

I don't deal in gimmicks

I actually really like him. Just not his anti-vax stuff.

@Thought Art Don't lock it. This can be good.

@OBEler Look, my Dude. 5-MeO will utterly skullfuck you. There is no way around this. You just gotta jump in and learn to swim. Of course. Be careful. Don't be reckless. Don't bite off more than you can chew. But at the same time. Grow some balls.

@Derek White Nice try. You clever Devil

@OBEler You are like a cat dipping its toe in the pool. Cute and silly at the same time.

I don't have a scarcity mindset when it comes to my sperm. I can make buckets more. I can appreciate people who practice celibacy. What I don't appreciate is people who have sex but are so stingy that they don't even ejaculate. I consider this silly and unnatural. But hey, I don't care what you do with your sperm.
