I realized after I wrote this that arbitrariness is considered one the main ideas of gender, so yeah I would consider that point correct. I think however, that if you completely ignore your birth given sex and just say "chromosomes and genitalia are arbitrary" you are denying some very basic facts about biology. There are studies showing men and women naturally have different personalities, and of course the classic counter to that is "but those differences are due to societal structure!" To which I would say yes, that is partially true, but I would argue there are also inherent personality traits that form before society can get its' grip on you - this is also scientifically backed. But Leo, scientifically backed doesn't mean anything! Did evolution not happen? Does the body you were given, functioning autonomously with an insane degree of intelligence, just appear out of nowhere? Maybe this is a hot take, but I think men and women evolved to live in harmony which results in the greatest survival likelihood rate. But Leo, that's just survival! Yes, the whole point of my argument is that biological and sociological factors play in. The natural difference between males and females may not be huge, but it certainly is there before conditioning.

10 years is a pretty solid guess. Thca is horrible imo anyways It's definitely a cheat code. I would argue psilocybin is more likely to get legalized in the future than 4 aco/amanita blends are to get banned. But yeah, who knows.

You can say sex is arbitrary and different from gender, but how would you know that's not an arbitrary and meaningless belief in itself? Just because a lot of people agree on something, doesn't make them right. The entire planet can agree on something and be wrong. I think people can pretend to be whatever they want, but don't force me to believe whatever you want me to believe.

Things tend to be paradoxically "both and neither". And yes language is a construction, but it not required for understanding. When you truly know a thing it is underneath the level of language. The fact that we can find meaning and homeostasis, things that work at the time, even at lower levels of evolution, show that reality is not completely arbitrary. There is meaning and understanding at the subjective level and not-knowing at the absolute level.

It was a road trip 4-aco gummy. Those things hit. Would highly recommend. Also if you don't feel like tripping, just wait for the right time. It could be months, but you'll usually know if it's time. It could also be said that you will never be fully ready and now is a good a time as ever. Balance those at your discretion.

I asked ChatGPT and Grok which one is better. They both said themselves. Even though they are bots, their programming reflects the political bias of the environment in which they were created and is a direct metaphor to point of view bias - you don't know what you don't know. Although I will say - Grok is further right than ChatGPT is left. It's unhelpful to think of politics in perfectly symmetrical polarities, I think usually the true answer to problems takes multiple points of view into account and is never a hard right or hard left, nor perfectly in the middle. There is no completely pure, untainted knowledge coming from anyone on this planet so to assume your one source is the right one is the same as saying your one religion that you grew up with and is the only thing you have ever known is absolutely correct.

I think we have a lot of common ground - I would further your argument by saying there is a logos and understandability to reality - and that is one of the deepest existential topics you can contemplate - as Einstein said, "The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible."

Do you ever have a thought, and then as soon as you zone back into reality you have the exact word or idea you thought repeated back to you? To me this is evidence of God and a mental reality, not schizophrenia. Only God doesn't come out to you full stop because he always wants to remain slippery and difficult to find at a base state of consciousness. Also, Leo, have you ever considered adding a like button to topics or replies? Obviously there are group think dangers with that but also benefits.

Buddha taught that karma is how the architecture or imprint of mind transfers from one life and creates the next. In other words, the state or quality of your mind when you die directly transfers over and generates the next experience. It's not that action=consequence, rather action=long term imprinting on your own mind that generates the next "house" or reality you will live in. It's like dreaming at night - whatever your mental state was before crossing over greatly influences your dream and its rules. He said beings could be sent to hell realms for this reason, not by way of hanus acts being wrong in and of themselves. The lowest of which, Avīci, he said to last unimaginable yet not infinite time spans. Beings sent there, were not sent, but rather their own minds dreamt that hell realm after a previous life of committing atrocities which conditioned it into that state. Karma is said by Buddha to take an extremely long time to exhaust, which is why the punishment feels unproportionate to the crime. In the Pāli Canon, he says "This existence is a disease, a boil, a dart". He also claims it is not safe to be here due to the hell realms that can last for 10^40^40 years (that's the modern number, but in his words it was something like "the amount of time it takes to wipe out a mountain if you wipe it with a rag every 100 years".) For this reason liberation/ending of the rebirth cycle should be sought.

Omen or nah?

When I do DMT I found a simple way to increase the visuals is to close my eyes and push in on my eyes with my fingers. Not to the point of pain, but a certain amount of pressure on your retinal receptors stimulates them and you get a ton of visuals. This can be done while falling asleep too.

Agreed, the whole concept of a civilized society is to transcend pure barbarian survival instincts into higher domains. Sadly humanity today overinflates how much we have actually done that.

It's a complex mating ritual. If it didn't work for 200,000+ years, it wouldn't be a viable survival strategy. By saying something like "I don't find you attractive/like you but I still want to fuck you" you are almost guaranteeing an insta no from the girl. It's a sad reality, but one deeply encoded into male instincts.

This form will be no more but life within you will go on. The beauty of life is in its transience.
