I was addicted to weed at one stage. These days I just microdose golden teacher mushrooms. Good for the brain. No hangover.

Again I'm not a fanatic, don't worry

Spoken like a true radical nondualist

That's a lot of sex

Yeah, you lucky to have a good guide, enjoy, looking forward to your trip report

Yeah, start slow. I once did 4 grams of some kind of mushroom. I thought I wasn't going to make it Energy was so strong, I did feel like some kind of alien being. And it went on for hours. Good on you for trying 5Meo.

I haven't done 5Meo, is it your first time ?

Alien Consciousness

Bro, it's trees all the way down. Trees are fundamental.

What is a tree really ?

Intuitively it makes sense to me, but I could be wrong.

That sounds like a Zen koan thank you

It's interesting, Leo really helped me to take science off it's pedestal. But he still gives mainstream science it's proper dues.

I still feel there's some quantum shit happening with our brains. My bet is that even mainstream science will come around to this conclusion pretty soon.

Please elaborate ?

So is there some kind of division between the quantum world and the world that we function in ? Surely there is some influence.

Was the structure of the self not affected by this at all ?

I mean consciousness doesn't need anything per say. But can a rock be self reflective.

So are you saying that quantum mechanics is not applicable to biological processes ?

So you feel quantum is mostly bs ?

So are thoughts solely created in the brain then ? Or where would you say thoughts originate from. In direct experience they seem kinda quantum in nature, appearing out of nowhere, disappearing into nowhere.

Consciousness doesn't require anything. But do you honestly sense your mind doesn't function in some quantum mechanistic way ? Thoughts seem kinda quantum, like they popping in and out of nowhere.

You have links to the Chicago mafia right ?

How so ?

Well yeah, when AI goes fully quantum, who knows what's possible. (Do humans not also suffer from some form of that syntax to semantics gap you mentioned, in that there's a disconnect between the word "tree" and what a tree really is. Or is that something totally unrelated.)
