This dude is such a healthy and developed form of orange, its not even believable. The care, creativity, work-ethic and sovereignty one has to have to make a game (that keeps millions entertained for years) from the first line of code to the last music theme, is truly unheard of. Yet he seems healthy and likeable.

Immediately this came to mind. @Leo Gura do you know Eric Barone and how he developed all of Stardew Valley? Real life DaVinci.

True that, the blog is massively underrated.

@Leo Gura Btw. if you post affiliated products, care to post their respective European amazon link as well.

Likewise, had you ever had an experience were you became unconscious and woke up after it, not remembering anything?

I had it claim things way more dangerous and deranged than that. You can gaslight it into saying anything. If I had the time and pleasure, I'd show it to you, but either one is lacking, due to the quality of your reasoning. So have fun getting yourself compliments from a prostitute.

What mechanism in our human body would create any kind of energy that is intrinsically damaging? What kind of socerery is this? Send me his og text, or I'll won't trust anything that comes out of your poisoned mouth.

Yeah, people using ChatGPT as their tried and true source of epistemology are next-level idiots. Its like asking your grandma if you are "objectively" attractive.

What 5-meo? Just its comparatively low duration of effect makes it way less overpowering to ones nerves. Compare that to a 12 hour LSD trip.

I hope you'll find out that ChatGPTs and similar AI's alike serve their sole purpose to make you happy and please you. I can get ChatGPT to say whatever the fuck I wish be told. Trusting anything AI says as an absolute is like living with a brick in skull.

The reason I ask is because I've taken it 3 times and it felt waaay smoother and "healthy" than LSD for example. So I just don't get the physical damage. Which organs are threatened by 5-meo? Except for the brain.

Whats the largest health downside of your most used psychedelics (5-meo and ..malt)? Because you sometimes hint towards them being corosive to your physical health, whereas most side-effects are linked to mental degeneration. What is so physically damaging to 5-meo?

So you are telling me they were Truth conscious all along?

I heard that they planned to legalize for years, but when it finally came to be, Covid hit, and messed it up from the start. Isolation, illness and loss of job/purpose tend to be major drivers for addiction. Portugal had more stable ground to build on.

Im getting there.. ..However, there has always been a threshold of unconditional love that I rarely crossed. And that is the unrivaled amount of cringe in this forum. Working on it..

Just out of personal interest I'm fascinated to hear about your experiences with any kind of psychiatric medication therapy for any kind of mental illness. - So anything about how you take, deal with, feel with, live with medications such as: Antidepressants, Anti-psychotics, mood stabilizers, anxiolytics, sleep medications, stimulants, pain killers ect. I'd like to hear from you, what has helped, has not helped, and how such medications change your personality and life situation first hand. Because, I believe many people see major mental illnesses as a one way street into suffering. But many new medications and therapies have developed over time. I'm curious...

I'm not sure how this would translate to psychedelics, but.. ..El Salvador, for example made Bitcoin one of their official currencies not too long ago. Smaller and less stable countries tend to be open to new and more radical changes, since they rely on novel opportunities for growth. You can find many examples for such political dynamics. Maybe there will be a state that is most known for its psychedelic tourism and spiritual practices. But that requires new laws in most places. Something that rich and stable countries are not focusing to do. Another perspective is; that investors don't want to bring their resources into less developed countries, because they are afraid of the corruption and poor infrastructure. So many less developed countries look out for new kinds of attraction. Psychedelics might be one of them. - But I'm not a big fan of that scenario.

Mmh.. maybe. Maybe something like this. But in the end, such laws are all gonna be made by lawmakers, who in general need some cold hard evidence to change the status quo. I think it’s this point were most ideas fail at actual reality. In the eyes of most lawmakers psychedelics is not a top priority to-do. Maybe in a couple of decades. I might be wrong, for less developed, experimental countries and states though.

Yeah given the high risks with most psychedelics (compared to other means of spirituality), it will probably stay only reserved for ‚super treatment resistant‘ patients.

I mean the illegal way stays nonetheless. But with a doctor you can support a lot of people, who simple don’t want to have the uncertainty and shadiness of illegal substances. Maybe there will be special psychiatrists for that. But then, the return on investment for ‚mystic-psychiatrists’ is super low on the eyes of universities or governments. So it’s probably fantasy no matter what. I’m just thinking out loud..

I believe the way they are going with Esketamine here in europe seems quite reasonable. Only allowing for treatment resistant depression and only with professional guidance. I wonder what indication would allow such a procedure for 5-meo. Existential nihilism?

Don't forget, a high IQ person, that can't act as intelligent is still practically dumb. I had a friend in school, who was by far the smartest, fastest learning and most understanding. But he smoked and drank beer basically everyday. Now he looks like a shipwreck.

I mean most people have such a solid experience of reality and therefore such a solid worldview with no interest in realizing that it might be constructed. It’s like someone told us to look at a wall everyday and contemplate if it’s really constructed or an illusion. If you had no experience into the constructed nature of reality, this would seem so pointless and boring. I guess that’s how most view metaphysics and epistemology. Their minds are simple too solid to find interest in the flexibility and constructed nature of reality.

Actually interesting. I heard that in people with depression, ADs can be tapered off in weeks or months, but with anxiety it might be very different. But then again: which makes this field even more interesting is that EVERYBODY has different experiences with mental issues and their respective medications. Have you found a new or better approach for your anxiety - Or is it gone by now? Maybe you'd like to share more about that I'm actually in a relatable spot right now. Because I'm currently tapering off of Pregabalin super slowly - maybe 6 months more. (because of poly-neurological pain) but since its a strong anxiolytic it can cause some solid states of angst, if I was to miss a dose. Soo interesting, how all this can be manipulated through some micrograms or some lofty molecules.

Diving into the realm of mental illnesses and their medications, how do you connect that to Love? When I was at a psych ward for 5 days after a suicidal episode, I got to know a young man called "Ralph". He was a migrant 19 year old from Lebanon, left alone by his parents just some years after his birth. No family, no friends. And a serious case of autism. So bad that he could even wash himself. And the only thing he would do, was to walk around the facility in circles. The entire day. Everyday. Sometimes he had fun with taking water in his mouth and squirting it whereever he liked. Or sniffing peoples hair. One day he search through all of my stuff because there were some nuts at the bottom of my bag. Which he found and ate - at the middle of the night. I guess his nose was the only thing that worked properly. But it was obvious that he would stay at this facility (or a similar one) for the rest of his life, possibly for decades. Nobody in her/his right mind would want to burden themself with the amount of work Ralph required. I guess absolute Love is the only reason this happens.
