outlandish

Your body does not produce salmonella, Salmonella is a genus of bacteria that are self-replicating, not produced by "your body". What people call food poisoning can refer to any number of things, but usually refers to bacterial infection from food consumed, which is usually some Salmonella or a dangerous strain of E. Coli, or possibly C. botulinum. It's true that our guts contain certain healthy strains of E. Coli, and some species of Salmonella. But raw meat can absolutely carry dangerous strains of Salmonella that can make you sick. It's true that pasture raised animals will be far less likely to carry it. Chicken is especially risky to eat raw, especially if it's normal factory chicken, it will be loaded with Salmonella. I wouldn't eat raw chicken in any circumstance. There are many parasites that raw meat can carry as well. Be careful with pork. Risky business, and shitty for the planet. But it's your prerogative to eat in a selfish way.

Some prions can be passed from non-human animals to humans. Mad Cow disease is one example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bovine_spongiform_encephalopathy#Spread_to_humans Chronic Wasting disease, which affects wild game like deer, may also be transmissible: https://www.cdc.gov/prions/cwd/index.html

What @datamonster said. If it's not dead obvious to you right now what you need to do as an entrepreneur without school/college, it's unlikely that you'll stumble on the breakthrough idea while you're struggling with life living out of a van. Just doing things like laundry, finding a toilet, a shower, getting drinking water, avoiding being robbed can be a challenge living like that.

This is a great observation. The idea of progression vs regression through the scale is just our own language/judgement for movement between the stages. I believe it is a skillful judgement, and that the hierarchy is correct, but nonetheless there's nothing demanding that people always move in a straight line up through the stages (this is part of why it's a spiral and not a line or ladder). In the spiral yellow sits directly on top of orange. When you transition out of green, it's very easy to light up the orange elements as you move into yellow - to the extent where you can end up in orange instead of yellow. There are a lot of parallels between yellow and orange - they are both skewing to the individual, and value rationality. I believe that sometimes people light up orange a lot on their way up to tier 2, and many people (like 90% of the boomer generation in western industrial society) get stuck there, fail to make the leap, and reside in orange. I think it's especially easy for people to end up there as they age and find it harder to learn new things and to change. The major difference between yellow and orange is that yellow incorporates green deeply at it moves on, and the people who "regress" from green to orange simply have rejected the green perspective, rather than building on it as they turn inward slightly, and begin to take a very honest look at the world.

Taking 5-MeO-DMT every day is excessive and can't be recommended, especially if you are vaporizing it. Save it for more occasional use, keep it special. I agree that vaporizing it is aggressive for the lungs. It's better to plug or sniff it. If you want to microdose, try something more common and tested like mushrooms or LSD. Even though it's been around for a long time, 5-MeO-DMT isn't close to as extensively field tested as the more common psychedelics, so taking it chronically is really unexplored territory. Also, it seems that (unlike LSD and mushrooms) it's possible to have a fatal overdose on 5-MeO-DMT, but that's not completely clear. A few people have died taking toad venom - but it's hard to tell if that's from other chemicals in the venom, or mishandling by sketchy shamans, or the 5-MeO-DMT itself.

I'm glad this is working for you. I'm concerned that you will have long term health issues with this diet, but it sounds like it's really turned things around for you at least for the time being. The planet can not support a pure meat diet, if large numbers of people take it on. At least for the sake of our environment and planet, this sort of diet should not be pursued by anyone but the most extremely dietarily challenged.

Well done! This is very nicely balanced, it stays very much on the side of harmony and peacefulness without becoming sickly sweet.

The banning of leaded gasoline has been proposed as a factor in the massive decline in violent crime since the 1970's. When we used to burn leaded gasoline, there was mild lead pollution all over the place in the human environment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead–crime_hypothesis Thankfully, amalgam fillings (containing mercury) are less and less common today as well.

I think this video has some kind of privacy setting, I'm unable to view it. Is there another version of it? David Bohm is a fascinating character.

Take heed of these words.

Just remember, if you're concerned with low frequency EMF, the best defence is the tinfoil hat. It functions as a faraday cage, protecting your cerebral tissue from magnetic fields.

A powerful electric motor like in an electric car will have a magnetic field, but it won't be generating dangerous radiation. The radiation that you need to worry about is in the very high frequency range, above the visible light spectrum, so UV and upwards: UV, x-rays, gamma rays and so on. These kinds of high-frequency radiation can interact with and disrupt DNA, which is what makes them dangerous and able to trigger cancer causing mutations. The magnetic field surrounding an electric motor that's running is oscillating at the opposite end of the spectrum - very low frequency, much much lower than visible light or infra-red. These frequencies don't interact with the human body in any way. You can probably find some people out there claiming it does, but these claims are dubious and not grounded in science. The field will be strong so it makes sense that an EMF checker would pick that up, it ought to be stronger than anything in her house because it's a very powerful magnet in there. What kind of hair test did you friend get? I believe hair tests are testing for radioactive isotopes like uranium, which would be unaffected by the magnetic fields in an electric car. The thing that makes radioisotopes like uranium, radon, plutonium dangerous is that these radioactive particles emit radiation as they decay. That means if you get them in your body, they will sit there and emit cancer-causing high frequency radiation. Again, this has nothing to do with electric motors. If electric motors in cars were dangerous, we'd know it by now. Diesel-electric trains (normal trains) have gigantic electric motors, 10-100 times as powerful as an electric car, with a correspondingly more powerful magnetic field. Train drivers have been working in these fields for many decades now. Industrial power plants, hydroelectric dams and so on also have huge EMF fields much more powerful than an electric car. tldr; don't worry about your electric car, it's not making dangerous radiation. It's helping the planet.

I've been thinking the same thing @tuckerwphotography but couldn't quite articulate it like you did right there. I recently checked out a few of his podcasts; his tone is quite grating. Reminds me of Richard Dawkins. It's a shame because like you said he's obviously very intelligent, and is on the right track most of the time. Most of the things he has to say, I actually agree with him on, but there's just something off about his delivery and priorities. I think he gets hung up on his own intellectual righteousness, and has a hard time putting down the sword.

FYI: converting freebase to a salt is easy using vinegar, and has been discussed at length in this thread, so that's an option for you. Doing several mushroom trips is definitely good "practice" for 5-MeO-DMT, and very much worthwhile in it's own right. Mushrooms are one of the classic psychedelics for a good reason. You can't prevent heart racing directly, but you can contextualize them so that they aren't panic attacks. When you fully accept them as part of the experience, they aren't problematic. It's normal that when something so groundbreaking is happening, that your body will become excited like that. It's just like when you have that first kiss, or get near the peak moment of an exciting movie. It's a normal physical/emotional response.

I think it's because of how the mind works. If infinity is something that can be experienced, it can't be contained, by definition. So how could you possibly store "infinity" in your memory? Therefore, you forget it. I believe the only way to realize infinity, and then continue to realize it, is to remember the path there. I believe that enlightened masters who frequently dwell in non-duality simply have traversed the path so thoroughly and frequently, that they are able to access it much more easily than the rest of us. I'm sorry, I'm speaking a bit beyond my direct experience, as I have only glanced at unbounded existence and am not the sort of person who can access it at will.

PSA: MAOIs are MonoAmine Oxidase Inhibitors - as in, they inhibit monoamine oxidase in your body. Monoamine oxidase is the enzyme that your body uses to destroy monoamines that are floating around. Monoamines are the molecules that resemble neurotransmitters like: Dopamine, Serotonin and and norepinephrine (aka adrenaline). There are many molecules in this monoamine class in the normal foods we eat that cause havoc if we don't have the chemical mop-up system of the MAO intact. When you take an MAO inhibitor (MAOI) like syrian rue, it temporarily lowers the defenses of this system. This is why MAOIs are used in ayahuasca brews - it makes the DMT in the brew orally available so that you can get high by drinking the stuff. However, the MAOI also makes you vulnerable to perturbations from other chemicals which your body would normally have the guard up agains, so it's dangerous. Good ayahuasca ceremonies will insist fasting, or a limited list of foods beforehand in order to reduce this danger. Consuming MAOIs like Syrian Rue, especially large doses, can be very dangerous. MAOIs should be avoided by all but the most experienced, and should never be used recklessly like user electroBeam has here. If you do choose to take an MAOI you need to research the correct dosage, and research *very carefully* which foods you need to avoid beforehand. I've been consuming psychedelics for decades, and had hundreds of trips by now, and I have never taken an MAOI because I don't consider it to be safe.

That's a good little video! I really like how he has an open mind about it and doesn't jump to any conclusions.

@electroBeam yeah don't let me tell you what your limits are, if you can go to the club as a lone wolf and pick up girls, go for it!

Yeah exactly. Don't know anything about that, never heard of it.

It's the claim, but it could be misinformed right? If there really are visitors here from other solar systems, their tech would have to be extremely difficult for us to fathom. Maybe the loophole for FTL travel is to arrive somehow non-materially in a way we really can't understand right now. Maybe their presence manifests in very different ways depending on the conceptions of the observer(s). I think there's something fishy about Bob Lazar. He could be a pathological liar (the kind of person who weaves elaborate deep lies that they themselves believe on some level), or maybe he was intentionally deceived by secret programmes intended to confuse intelligence operations. I don't know but when I hear him talk, there's something off. Maybe that's just how you come off when you've spent your whole life dealing with doubt cast on what you're saying.

I'm not at all convinced that these are physical phenomena in the normal sense. I like what Terrence McKenna had to say on the subject. I'm having a hard time digging up a clip, but essentially he thinks UFOs are a sort of mass Jungian hallucination, something that is quasi-real in that they can be part of an experience shared by multiple people, but not physically as real as a tree that we can go up to and touch. He said is that he saw a classic Flying Saucer at one time. It came very close, close enough that he could see the rivets in the metal. He said it looked just like a classic 50s flying saucer. He questioned why would an extremely advanced spacefaring alien be building something that was in the style of a 50s vacuum cleaner, and be using rivets? He conclusion was that these are not real in the normal sense, but were somehow generated from a mass cultural expectation of what these things should be. In support of this idea, the style of UFOs that are sighted has changed over the decades, in a way that stylistically matches the gestalt of the era. In the 50-70s people were seeing WWII style flying saucers. Then they started seeing the flying triangles in the 80s and 90s. Now people are seeing more ethereal energy orbs. Why would an advanced alien technology coming from thousands of light-years away be upgrading their craft in order to match earthling aesthetics every couple of decades? It seems it's somehow intertwined with our own consciousness, memories and ideas. And they always appear on the fringe of recordability, nebulous, like a receding horizon. They might be so strange and hard to comprehend that we can't really pin them down as literal spacecraft from afar. If they're real they might be so bizarre and advanced that we can't contextualize them the way we think of normal physical objects like rocket ships and rocks.

So good my dude let the love flow

@electroBeam you never know, maybe you should bring it up with your hippy friends, do you think they might make the same assumption about you? I think a lot of people are just a bit shy/ashamed to admit that they'd be into that kind of thing, or at least don't wear it on their sleeve. If they really aren't into it, then you find some more friends. You'll have very little success with women as a lone wolf in a club, that's for sure. And I think it would be super awkward going to the club with your pretend friend/wingman. But maybe that's just me.

Just imagine Rogan high as fuck, passing joints to Biden and Trump, asking them about their experiences with 5-MeO-DMT and aliens.

You probably need to back it up then and make some friends first!
