The yellow one just got heated a little bit at some step, or maybe crystalized part into clean white crystal and part brownish goo, and someone mixed them when scraping a dish. It's all pure 5-MeO-DMT, it just takes different forms, and those forms take different colors, you can have brownish sticky goo that is close to 100% pure 5-MeO. The person who provided the white substance is just more skilled at recrystallization, or separated the white and brownish parts and for example sells the white part as powder and uses the brownish into vape liquids. It would make sense to do so, from a marketing stand-point. Because even pure white powder will get yellowish when dissolved into vape liquid. It's all pure 5-MeO if the seller is a professional. Here's an educational PDF where a chemist discusses the problem with DMT: https://www.docdroid.net/11CTcP8/arclightshrooms-dmt-work-pdf I have read in an other place a similar problem can happen with 5-MeO-DMT Freebase.

But are you aware that we know that plants use photons and make them into energy using chloroplasts? Animals don't have chloroplasts. Doesn't matter how much DNA you share, just a difference of 0.0000001% that makes them have chloplasts and us not is enough to invalidate your whole analogy. Whatever alternative mechanism you propose would account for so little energy the plants produce it's pointless to make an analogy. And actually, trees DO pay bills. They pay with sugar for various services provided by mycelia and other organisms. There's trade and there's taxes in the forest, if you want to make that analogy. So saying trees don't pay bills is very misguiding. They pay a lot of bills and they also share their wealth with their family and friends. One really needs to be in the bottom two digit IQ zone for such arguments to look impressive. Much diagrams, much science. While in fact the real story of plants is way more fascinating and rich.

@Leo Gura The Theme of Things Going Full-circle

Guys, but you are aware that all of the Jung theory is fairy tales, yes? I mean, you can have such hobby, but it’s neither science nor the only accurate way of making distinctions and understanding the human psyche.

@AION I mean it's LSD, it's not like it can be impure or something in any meaningful quantities. Anyone who makes it is a chemist advanced enough not to make stupid mistakes and is able to purify it with columns. LSD is a safe bet to e\get whenever, at most the advertised potency per blotter is off, but that's why you buy bulk and test on yourself the relative strength of a blotter and then dose based on that as a reference point and not microgram dosages shared online.

Would you ever admit it was a hidden prayer to Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that made it work?

@PurpleTree Can't expect competence from drug enforcement's PR writers. They are public servants with college degree in some administrative bullshit, not drug nerds.

@The Crocodile Consider you are deluded. Usually I would have blocked such an obnoxious user as you, but somehow I have a feeling that you are just a teenager who needs some patience and beating with a stick on head. If you are an old ass and I am wasting my time, then tell me and let me block you.

@The Crocodile I don't want your instruction. If you want to bring some value then post a report of your work. It would be very interesting read to see your experiments, the stuff you have actually done, like how much have you sat and the results of your explorations of the wacky-consciousness phenomena. The babble you post there is of interest to no-one. Really? Do you think you are going to invite anyone to seriously take up on exploring the limits of consciousness with such word salads? You are not serious.

LSD, I guess?

@The Crocodile You don't get one very important thing. You are the person who will not awaken by following Campbell. You are not the person who oobed the shit out and "discovered" stuff for themselves. You just follow hearsay, believe it and then preach it to us there like some lunatic Christian. Look at the structure of what you say. It's one to one to the guys who come there to preach that "Jesus Christ is needed for Enlightnment." "You are scared of death because you don't understand how Jesus has brought salvation." "It's all explained, just read this scripture", etc. You are playing the same ego game as them, neither helping anyone nor progressing in your own journey.

I don't use this method. I use RemNote app on Mac OS.

Beware, choose the right file system for the stick! You need to check which filesystem works for every single OS and format your stick to that.

That's what Terminal or Windows PowerShell are for. The operating system IS the overarching software, one just needs to know how to use it, be a so-called poweruser.

Can you personally? Nope, it's a big jump from predicting a number on a chalkboard and then constructing a grand narrative of how after-life works. Empirically the only thing you and I have is his rambling. That's not scientific proof.

Unskillfully. His whole argument depends on accepting that his out of body experiences work like he imagines them to do. He has basically no argument, he just wants you to believe oobe is not his own fantasy, personal dream. Believing random shit is bad epistemology. If he seriously questioned that he might be stuck up in his own imaginations, fantasies, then that would be worthwhile to listen to. But it's the opposite, he does everything to dodge serious contemplation, just shares his Dungeons & Dragons-like narratives.

@Leo Gura I guess they mean the LSA-containing seeds. Authorities in every country love to give inflated numbers straight from between their buttocks. If it's morning glory seeds then it's only 0.06% LSA, which would need to be gruesomely isolated and only then converted. When they talk about liquid you also can't know if they are talking about liquid with readymade LSD diffused in it, or a half-product in a process of extracting LSA.

@Space Pretty sure, I also am. You have to be a hardcore fan to buy something like a video course, and his best-seller book has been released a long time ago, right now they are having problems with even filling the workshops.

@Leo Gura I believe the bots suggested rating is more like 1700 in a 10 minutes rapid game or 3+2 blitz and not a few hours long games like you are playing.

The biggest benefit to chess would be learning how to learn, as you have a very clear feedback in the form of your ELO ranking of how fast you are progressing. You could make a plan on how to gain the most ranking points in some time period and see what it takes to become good at something. With other hobbies, like Yoga, while they might be more beneficial for your life, you lack that quality, instant feedback. Feedback is king.

I am not sure, a lot of technical information is never published as PDF, so they couldn't have leeched it from the internet. Elsevier has scripts of science books that they published and printed that OpenAI and the like have never ever seen. It is a substantial limit in the time frame Integral proposes. Infrastructure doesn't appear out of thin air.

@integral I have never before considered you to be that naive. Where will the energy come from to power that AI economy? This compute time is not a free meal. It takes electricity to run and water to cool. Scarce resources. Scarce resources that humans need.

@Daniel Balan The Economics Book by Big Ideas Simply Explained. Books from these series are usually good for any topic, https://www.amazon.com/Economics-Book-Ideas-Simply-Explained/dp/0756698278 Then maybe something by Steve Keen, if you like to dive in straight into critiques of the status quo.

The book is so bad it I consider it's scholarship questionable even for the 40s, when it has been written. Typical out-dated social science. There's little point in reading Economics books written before the 90s and it's certainly a red-flag when someone raves about a Hitler-era scholar. Science has moved on light-years away from the theories in vougue back then.

@Leo Gura Lichess.com bots scale more inteligentlly. There are 10 levels of them and level 6 starts to get difficult for me.
