Exactly. You can socialize at a low perspective level, or higher perspective levels. And social structures highly influences the level of socialization (country, religion, institutions, communism or capitalism). Also, you couldn't survive without the whole social structure that is currently suporting you. Or maybe you could but you'd need a lot of luck.

Integral made a good point. It shows the power of assumptions at play. Also consider the fact when you move to a new environment ut puts you in a state of mental plasticity. Moving, and those kind of drastic changes, like going to a different country, expands your mind. I like to think we are wired to change environments from time to time. At least makes a lot of sense given our hunter-gather/nomad lifestyles that we went through for millenia. Collective ego is a real thing too. Ask the question: How does my state of mind change when I am with X vs Y group of people? When you're in church you're going to act and think in certain ways which has been programmed into you. Different from when you're in an art class for example.

Low perspectives have a strong emotional appeal to them, they suck you in and suddenly you get all involved without even realizing it. No space for reflexion whatsoever and nevermind any caring for truth. Probably we agree that low perspectives are really easy to adopt whereas higher ones take a lot of work. A quick answer to the question "Why demonizing other perspectives puts you at a low perspective?" could be: because in doing so you prevent yourself from the possibility of actual understanding, or the possibility of doing any crucial discernment about the perspective in question, given that you get attached to a belief or an emotion -which sometimes are very correlated-. This doesn't mean you need to accept all the lower perspectives when you don't agree, especially when they're a hazard. But demonizing is just anti-truth and a really bad habit overall. Its a fun exercise to seek higher perspectives.

That was a good video, looking foward for the next part. I could not come to any satisfying answer myself for the questions yet, but its a really important topic.

I like to view it this way: they (psychedelic entities) are as real beings as a cat or any human, and I like the mindfuck of it.

I was aware of it and experimented a bit. It definitely boost my energy. Withdrawal from caffeine is a hasrh reality though.

Probably that happiness, inner curiosity and motivation is my natural state but very easily corrupted by unhealthy habits and environment.

Chris Williamson just released a talk with Matthew Walker. Matt explains sleep much better than I do.

Maybe maths is a bunch of ways to represent "One" or the "Whole". All the ways you can partitionate one unit. Be it the number one or any other number. Like: 1 = 12*3 - 35 1 = -47 + 24* 2 - 1 For example 24 + 24 = 48, and 48 is itself whole but is also made of other wholes. And going further, any function represents a point in space, it literally is a bunch of arithmetics combined to represent a coordinate, so if you run every function possible at the same time it would fill all the space with points, making just one point. I don't know.

You can't avoid being impulsive sometimes, but you can think your way out of it.

Having a calm baseline consciousness helps, but that's not all. You need to study your own psychology and become familiar with your own ego, your own triggers, your reactions. Compare it to others and see how the people that avoid being impulsive act.

There are dozens of different psychedelics with completely different chemistry and effects. I would explore others if I was you and leave behind those that don't work with your particular body.

I don't.

Thanks, the body is certainly adaptive and it can adapt to harmful things.

@Buck Edwards That is quite an impressive list.
