Super interesting, thx for sharing! I experienced noticing energies more clearly on psychedelics too in a few experiences, although for me it was more visual and I could see a color-sphere around people, so I dont consider your experience to be too woo-woo or new agey .

Interesting! Is this a constant background-sound/activity that changes and warps or does it happen when situations are particularly "energetic"? So im assuming people have energies, so do people have a unique sound-experience associated with them, that is unique to them or are there sound-experiences depending on the "frequency" they are in? The Hawkins energy-model comes to mind with different emotions associated with different frequencies, does that model track to your experiene, so that higher frequency emotions relate to specific audio-experiences and lower frequency emoptions relate to others? And what insights could you make on the energy of people in general?

Sounds quite dramatic, but depending on how successful this coalition can execute on their plans we could be in an radically altered political-landscape in 4 years.

From my last trips Ive done with Malt I always came out with an intense desire to push my life forward in exactly those places that most need attention. In my experience it brings attention to what is really meaningful - this doesnt necessarily mean push harder in the gym or study longer hours. This often means value your most important relationships, have a hard conversation, value your health or face some of your inner blockages. From Shrooms I mostly get a refreshed sense of aliveness and appreciation of things in my life, which may translate to increased curiosity and an increased desire to learn new stuff.

I read hours everyday out of pure excitement

Nice! I just did a little brainstorm too, since this topic is pretty much top of mind right now: Becoming increasingly aware of patterns and whereby gaining leverage over them. Being able to differentiate between stories/narratives and reality. Understanding that stories are not reality. Being able to differentiate between conepts and reality. Understanding that concepts are not reality. Becoming aware and getting rid of limiting assumptions. Getting more space around the activity of thought. Increasingly dis-identify from thoughts. Gaining increased insight on the underlying cause of thought and emotion. Gaining vocabulary to being able to make more sophisticated and useful distinctions in my experience. Developing conceptual frameworks that orient my experience in the most meaningful direction.

Yeah, I also imagine the conversation would be quite weird. Still would love to see it

Jordan is really all over the place recently. I would love to see Leo talking with Jordan and Jordans objections to Leos points. Im sure he would have reasonable counterpoints and the conversation would be challenging, but potentially fruitful for both.

Life Advice for Young People Part 1 & 2 are definitely up there. I think if you only watch 2 episodes you would get the most value out of these 2. So many good orienting-frames which help directing my life to this day.

Thanks for your detailed answer!

We would be totally miserable on Mars. Our entire physiology and psychology is fine-tuned over millions of years of co-evolution to live on this Earth. You already see the negative consequences of us creating an environment were not well adapted to here on Earth. The microplastics, the PFAs and thousands of other chemicals, less time in nature etc... already mess with our wellbeing in significant ways and we see the negative consequences everywhere. If humans dont get adequate amounts of sun or air we become depressed and develop sickness over time. I highly doubt that were anywhere near capable of engineering an environment that is evolutionarily fit for us on Mars. We tried to engineer an artificial sustainable ecosystem here on Earth already, the project was called "Biosphere 2" and it terribly failed: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosphäre_2. The resources we spend on this grandiose fantastical project we rather should spend reserving the only planet we have, which is not yet totally doomed.

Love the continuous supply of interesting stuff you deliver here on the forum

That is highly dependent on how we will develop AI right now and in the coming years. If the core driver of AI development continues to be rivalrous gametheory it will probably be quite dystopian.

Thanks for sharing! What is the level at which you consider a dose to be toxic? Currently im taking 10.000 IU and I need to check my blood-levels again soon. So it seems like getting your level up on a high dose over some period of time to 85 to 95 by taking 5.000 to 10.000 IU a day and then figuring out your maintenance dose to stay up there is the best way or am I missing something?

Yes, crazy stuff can happen on strong enough doses. Sounds like an interesting, but also very intense and disturbing experiene. Nice that you made it to the other side. I think often the darkest moments of a trip express the culmination of some psychological blockage/ some inner-conflict intensified and you get the chance to understand, resolve and break through into the light.

I had an direct-encounter with this exact horror in my most terrifying LSD-experience ever. At some point in the trip things went way too weird and otherworldly. My mind trying to make sense of it all concluded that this cant happen in physical-reality and therefore I must have died from the substance already and I am now stuck in some eternal realm of my own consciousness - where I will experience the consequences of this trip for eternity. This was the most horrific scenario I could imagine and thats probably why I actualized it into my experiene. I was very grateful that I came back from this horrific-experience without some form of PTSD or something.

Whats your formular to get to a place of excess?

What I also find very interesting and which overlaps wth Leos work is that often openness to some new music is highly dependent on state. Sometimes a new genre or album just doesnt click and some other day in a different mood or heightened state I can totally get it and from then on I can understand and feel it.

Although it is also more about petty human emotions, rather than capital T Truth
