@Schizophonia no political beliefs, no problem.

@sholomar how do you measure a person's contribution to society? If we got rid of industry other than for food and housing we probably wouldn't have many of the problems we have.

@Buck Edwards you could have a system where people get paid, even if they don't work but get more for working. If you think the government doesn't have enough money to do that, work out, roughly how much tax your country gets from income tax per month @Swarnim elections are a fix. The vast majority of people you speak to in Britain, hate the Tories.

@Princess Arabia tbh, I think it's quite sensible to remain drug free. Some people report long term benefits, some people go mad. Everything is temporary. The drugs wear off, you kind of get more developed as a result. I would say you can empathize with drug users but the shifts in perspective require repeated occasions of using. Usually, the then what part is addiction. Like I say, deal with the devil. Then again, you may experience something life changing. I've had temporary "fixed" moments with my paranoia for a few days to a week after ketamine. I suppose you could keep taking it but eventually that leads to problems.

Fair advice. I'll try to take it.

@Leo Gura I can only handle one romantic interest at a time. I mean, sometimes I talk to more than one person at a time but I just find the others boring, there's always a main one.

@Princess Arabia you just go back to linearity? Maybe I'm more dualistic than you (I do have bipolar in my family so I've probably hints of that.) Thank you for allowing myself to remind myself that drugs are bad (even though they're so good.)

@Leo Gura finding love is worse than failing to as you have the highs and lows. Then again, I kinda think it's worth it. It's a deal with the devil, like taking MDMA or cocaine.

@Princess Arabia you do you. I get paranoid off weed too. I would even say it is a problem that drugs give you such a good feeling because nothing else in life gives you an on par feeling (apart from maybe falling in love or sometimes since I've had paranoid schizophrenia I can get buzz without taking drugs, although, sometimes it makes me feel worse than I could ever have imagined before.) The only way you can accurately judge the experience of drugs is if you take them. I don't necessarily think drugs are more worth it than just getting pleasure from life because they will eventually make you get a feeling when you're not on them that is associated with the high but is really really really bad (especially MDMA) but not just the craving or comedown, like, seriously bad mental health problems. I just wanted to give you my perspective, it's your choice whether you take them or not. In short, it's a deal with the devil. You get your unbelievable highs and unbelievable lows. Then again, I would argue that romantic relationships are a similar deal... You fall in love then you fall out of love (although it's kinda hard to understand what it's like to take drugs from that description because even though I'm comparing them, they're too different but love is the most similar thing to drugs that you are going to get in life. Life is drama. How dramatic do you want it to be?

@Leo Gura I would argue that there is magic to it, example: I found my ex after 2 days on a dating site (the first time I'd been on a dating site) and we fell in love within a week. The first time I met him, I had got on the train, fallen asleep on the train, my phone died, I got off at the wrong stop, got a taxi to a place near his house, bumped into his dealer and he let me phone him. It shows how things can kind of magically work out. This is not the only time weird coincidence have happened to me (they happen every day.)

@k-ahmadzadeh The only improvement is to stop trying to improve yourself and just have fun. Life is not serious. I'm kind of being a hypocrite here though (I don't crave status but I crave companionship) and I am gay, so, I don't know much about dating girls, but, stop thinking about what they want and start thinking about what you want. It's not always about status, or looks, and everyone wants different things. You never know what kind of person you're gonna find. I nearly gave up because I have such specific wants that I can't even seem to describe, and, I'm not exactly a catch. I would say, most of what you're attracted to, is to show you what you thought you wanted but really what's not good for you, until you find the one that's right for you (although there's no guarantee you will find them.) Usually people are looking for people who share a mixture of shared and opposite features (although the opposite features may just be things they're suppressing, that is a part of them), so, you can estimate the kind of girl you will be attracted to or will be attracted to you. Example: I am very passive so I want someone who's more assertive, I also have dark thoughts and a lack of ability to connect with people and I want someone who relates to that. Think about what you are and what you want.

@Princess Arabia I have taken drugs from ketamine and MDMA to crack and heroin. I would say the safest, in terms of it's immediate effects, is ketamine because if you take too much, you can't move, so there's no risk of harming yourself there (unless you're in an unsafe environment), although I couldn't move after acid kicked in (I only tried it once.) Acid either sends you to heaven or hell, so, it's a big risk. Ketamine makes you calm but weird and sort of like feel intensely effortless, in low doses, but, in high doses, it's like you're not even in this life anymore. You may see the room as an optical illusion. My friend's living room is kind of a dump but like I took ket and it seemed bigger and more luxurious. For a few days after any psychedelic experience, you get a lasting sense of "something." People say it can cure them of their ills for long periods of time, but, you can develop mental health issues from it too, but, I would say the mental health issues you get from ketamine are kind of fun but like MDMA destroys you, if you abuse it. I'm lucky I didn't go mad from acid. Someone like you who is very positive will likely experience heaven, on acid. Basically, there are the type of people who go to "hell" or "heaven". I would say the biggest benefit to any drug, is that you will experience something you never could otherwise... But it could be bad in short term or long term, so, I guess you need to weigh up the risk/benefit ratio. I would say try ketamine first (if you're going to try drugs) since even the worst experiences on ketamine are just kind of weird, rather than like hell, but, everyone is different and it still has risks. Do some research into the health effects of drugs and ask other people about what they experience on drugs. Edit: I forgot you said you have no interest in doing them. In short I would say fun that is on par with the experience of falling in love, is the reason to take drugs.

@Schizophonia I think you used to have a more recent pic. Haha hope you're joking (he's only half-joking.)

I was referring to this though.

@Buck Edwards fair point.

@Buck Edwards I actually don't see what you're trying to say (I'm a bit dumb (could be a shit AI but even that would probably understand))

@Schizophonia you would be my type if you were older. You got that darkness to you Your profile says you are 20, I thought you were like 17-18 haha. At least you won't have wrinkles when you're 30

Fair point. Also, I think I need to stop looking for a fantasy. I give off red flags and I'm picky, even without looking for a specific kind of guy, so, the chances are slim enough anyway.@Leo Gura

@integral You can have romantic fantasies too.

@ryandesreu efort leads to suffering.

@Shodburrito @Leo Gura since everything is acausal and just a dream, shouldn't effort be an illusion?

My identity dissolved when I had a bad trip and that was the worst experience I had had up to that point. Others are not thoughts, they are a part of your experience/you. Nothing is permanent.

‘Strong[…] or weak morals’ was the best way of saying it (for the title) that I could come up with. Compare someone who is known as a troublemaker (steals, lies, cheats, is violent, makes people do what they see fit) with someone who is known for upholding conventional morals (judges, persecutes, demonises, disregards people’s rights, makes people do what they see fit.) Aren’t they basically equal? Isn’t it better to think of what the least harmful solution would be? Then again, it is impossible to judge what will lead to the least harm.
