ChatTopAlmostRightButNotReally Psychedelics usually have unnoticable affinity for 5ht3 receptor, BUT in humans they may stimulate production/release (I don't know scientifically correct terms, sorry, no time to check) of chemicals that do, be it sertotonin or else. That's the logic behind taking Kola Nut to reduce 5-MeO-DMT induced nausea and bodyload. Kola nuts share 5ht3 mechanism of action with ginger, but also lemons to some degree, and few other anti-nausea solutions. Natural versus synthetic distinction is meaningless. Most plants are natural and dangerous, especially the ones you could mistake for wild carrots. The fact is though, mushrooms are generally way less dangerous than plants, usually if you misidentify mushrooms they taste really bad or make your stomach hurt, but don't destroy your body. Natural plants can really mess you up quickly if you have foraged them yourself and misdentified somewhere along the way. Doesn't mean mushrooms can't turn your liver into goo and kill you, some can. There's more arguments if you want to hear them.

@no_name no if assumed toxins are water-sollubke. Yes, if they are not and you discard shroom body.

@Leo Gura shrooms don't make you wanna vomit at all if you drink or eat ginger beforehand. And soaking them in lemon juice removes any taste, so, I am not sold on that they are inherently toxic. I am a mushroom lover though, I mean normal edible mushrooms. I have been siding with the synthetic side of the debate, but nowadays I can see that with proper consumption tek shrooms are great too.

@LordFall I am super cautious, such things can be a lot of drama. And for little reward. Sex with multiple partners is not necessarily improving sex. Could be, though. I had been mildly interested in group sex. Consciously thought it through and discarded the idea, then discarded it together with my girlfriend. We both did cold analysis and deemed it a topic unworthy of our attention.

Yea, I have made it into the video talking about e-bikes! Great And the guy is quoting Joseph Maynor's posts to Leo and siding with Joseph, so cute, they match each other.

Winter is good for work and sleep if you sleep in cold. Otherwise, spring and summer are better, much better because you can bike! I love bikes. So early spring is 10/10 IMO, and winter is -1000/10, because you can't bike. I feel you man. Maybe we dislike winter for different reasons, but yours are for sure also valid.

@Mips here you go, 310 posts about the substance https://hyperreal-info.translate.goog/talk/meo-malt-t41787.html?_x_tr_sl=pl&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=pl&_x_tr_pto=wapp People have different experiences, both milder and more hardcore than 5-MEO-DMT. People dose more than on these forums. People mix it with different substances.

Using ChatGPT at the university level? How? The last time I checked the bot's answers were passing no scientific rigor. IMO, it's only good for something like generating a draft of a document or summarizing something to see if it's worth reading.

@Wildcattt555 Nah, the slot machine was just an example of doing something stupid for no reason. Avoiding vaccination is something stupid that people do for no reason. You can be scared shitless of anything. Some people are scared shitless that they are gonna die from the tiniest bleeding or some weird mild pain in their leg. There is no evidence to be scared of covid vaccine and there is no evidence to justify waiting for such evidence. I am not sure if people who already have had covid and it was benign should still get vaccinated now, but it was for sure an intelligent decision when they first entered the field. Please don't educate me on statistics, I am already trained in it.

@Wildcattt555 There is absence of evidence that I have 10 million dollars. That's not an evidence of me not having it. Gonna spend 20k on slot machines, be right back

I think a big challenge for the coaching training to pass would be to teach you up-to-date marketing tactics. The principles of marketing are the same as always, but the execution of them has changed a lot in the past decade. A lot of new marketing channels, tools and also the old channels work in a new way.

Some serious content about psychedelics. What is the current method, what has Leo tried. Something useful for comparing and fine-tuning your own spiritual practice. Leo doesn't do yoga or meditate hardcore, so he could at least share something practical about things he does. Maybe eleborate on what he envisions monk-mode life like. He says he considers that lifestyle as an option, it would be cool to hear his opinion on what it entails, and why it might be more suitable for him and some people than living a conventional life in a relationship. I would like Leo to do some ecological research and thinking. Spirituality and ecology. There's a lot spiritual teachers who's teachings lack connection to the real world. Leo has good enough foundations in science and epistemology, so he can do some contemplation work on that. But practical, anything practical please. Report on experiences with EEG meditation? If you don't plan to make a course on that anymore you could release at least some comment. It could be one of the shorter videos.

@mr_engineer You are in the wrong, which you can see if you really look and see that scamming people openly like Tate or saying anti-semetic things like Kanye is not allowed in the mainstream media/public discussion. No-one really supports that, and for good reasons. It's a good moment for you to self-reflect why you don't see it and how can you open your mind. Don't tell us to change the world to your liking. Think about why the world is the way it is. Thinks about others too, that they are not 1:1 copies of you.

Man, how are you not banned. There's is no need for "woke mob" to do anything because the ideas you spout go against basic human decency. It's normal, mediocre humans you go against with your defense of misogyny and hate speech. If it were 1990s, people would still argue you with this that this is unacceptable in public. That's how out of touch are the things you say.

Man, in what world do you live, anti-semitic rants are crime in itself.

I don't remember the science exactly, but it's something like, 5-MeO probably won't trigger your seizure directly, but can make you more prone for something else that could trigger you, for a few days.

@Breakingthewall you are forgetting whales, the OG geniuses, dolphins are damn smart too. It's not that they can't do algebra. It's we who can't communicate with them. Humans' power is not in being intelligent, it's in us being copycats. We are better monkeys than monkeys, copying each other's habits, inventions. This way only a few people have to be smart and come up with useful things.

What terrible recession guys? No serious shit has hit the fan yet. The situation is more or less the same right now as it was a few years ago, with recent problems caused by global energy issues and also shaken trade chains. This is what happens when you overfit economy to certain conditions. It's a global issue. There will be more and more energy related issues as climate change and resource depletion progresses. Amercian car-based way of life is just unsustainable. I am saying that because I am guessing you might be talking about rising gas prices in the USA when you talk about recession.

@Tyler Robinson no, techlead is 100% not a left-winger. You can notice this by his lack of humor. To lack humor this much you have to skew to the right. Now, when I read your post, neither Lex or Destiny are on the right. What was the thought behind this post?

You act like you are purposefully fooling me you don't know what does the part "ABSOLUTE" of the phrase "Absolute Truth" mean. It's absolute, it can't be fully out of consciousness. It has to be embeded in your consciousness. Denying that is you doing some Daniel Denett's style judo yourself.

I feel like it's because people are clicking at "submit reply" twice. I have had a situation today where I have thought that I didn't post the message, my message still being typed in the textfield and all, but it actually has been submitted already.

@Strannik Mr. Zen Fanboy, explain to me, please, how can Absolute Truth be proven as just a faulty concept, because of there possibly existing some "meta-reality beyond-consciousness" when Absolute Truth already includes any such known and unknown, possible and impossible to know meta-layers of reality. Because you know, as you have said all language is conepts, and we use them to point at THIS, but I feel like the concepts you propose do worse job at pointing at and describing the indescribable than what Leo uses. Reading your words is Land of Confusion for me, how the heck Buddhism Zen is not a religion? It's as much religion as everything else.

You know, I am an aspiring sociologist and I can tell you that it's 100% not because of pointers. Common religions don't get people out of their beliefs because it's not their job. They might advertise like it's their job, but not really. Churches are ideology dispensaries, power structure legitimzers and part of social control mechanism. They don't know that. That's a belief, too.

Because God is a wisely created, accurately pointing label. Just as you wouldn't get Enlightened by browsing Pornhub instead of learning about and applying spirituality, you wouldn't grasp what THIS is by contemplating about flying spaghetti monster instead of God. I don't think that God is an overloaded label in serious spiritual circles. It might be in the common person's mind, I agree.

I assume you mean being a state in which there is nothing and just THIS, where there was a computer a second ago, but now is nothing. Using my mind right now not being in that state I can say that there were still sights and sensations, but I know they were't really there and it didn't feel like anything being in that state, other then bliss, but that's also a description added now, not coming from that state. But that would be a pretty passive type of state. There are more active states like this spiritually dull one where I am also creative and talkative and eager to read your posts. I think that Leo's argument is that THIS can reconfigure into such state where it's both very clearly THIS, but also active and from this superior "position" make an absolute judgement about itself being God. And other insights. They are not stated by dull Leo character, they are made by THIS itself, while THIS is absolutely itself. I stay open to this not having experienced it ever, the same as I stay open to your ideas.
