  1. "Educate yourself, make no mistakes."
  2. Careful that it isn't actually the self making that assertion. 🤷‍♂️
  3. You make it up
  4. Yeah, it's real, from what I've heard. Apparently dry ingredients like that are preferred as food in outer space, similar to peanut butter and all that jazz. Hmm, chocolate.
  5. You guys have a knack for turning insanity into a worldview or philosophy. Consciousness is not a mental breakdown. Instead of seeing "the work" - however you conceive of it - as a move from sanity to insanity, turn it around. Metaphorically speaking, you're currently "insane" (ignorant, deluded), and moving toward freedom and truth, or true "sanity." But don't take that too seriously. Drug states are just that - chemically-induced states.
  6. The only thing I want to marvel at is the nutella jar floating in the spaceship @Lucasxp64 Beautiful!
  7. It gives me a nice, calm focus boost. Way less jittery than coffee, in my experience. Much better alternative.
  8. Yep. In any case it's worth trying to quit it for a while and see the effects. A couple of espressos are enough to mess up my day.
  9. Can confirm. Quitting for a few weeks or months helps a lot in this regard, I've found. Exercising is also crucial.
  10. Truthoosie - truth + oopsie
  11. It's supposed to be a novel term, so refine it in a way that reflects a particular difference. Interpellation seems to be based on identity, whereas phantaclesis emphasizes more the act (or place, perhaps) of being called into fictitious worlds. This act comes from an impulse born within the individual, but the appealing fireworks are provided by an external source.
  12. Phantaclesis (n.) - from phantasia + klesis (calling, summoning) The act of being called into a fantasy; the moment a seductive narrative or belief system begins recruiting you.
