I had a "Shit and Weed" phase 5 years ago. It's a phenomena I call "the Red/Green interrelation": Red or lack of Blue integration masquerading as surface level Green, common in teenagers. I believe it's the origin of the fad quote "If you're not a liberal at 20, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative at 40, you have no brain."

The two things you mentioned are not mutually exclusive. They're actually codependent. To self-actualize, you can't completely neglect your environment.

Weird flex but I remember I was one of the first kids in kindergarten who learned how to tie his shoelaces. I had to help my friends

Growth involves adapting to the environment.

Does the truth ever stop being truth?

Perceptions change. What is it that never changes?

He isn't fake. He is doing his thing, but it doesn't seem like a normal artistic approach, atleast musically. For instance, he had never been a singer before he suddenly decided to perform. His approach consisted of creating a persona and garnering attention to his brand.

I watched a documentary on Manson which portrayed him as very deeply Orange. His approach to music was more like a marketing project than a heartfelt artistic pursuit.

Why do people stop growing taller?

Underrated.

1. I'm creating everything. 2. I have to accept death.

I'm atleast 1/4 way there.

That's a real issue of course, but believe it or not, it's not impossible to get laid. A friend of mine has been talking to 6 girls lately and says one of them wants to be a regular fuck-buddy. He knew essentially none of these girls before COVID.

Very interesting social experiment: 10 boys live in the same house for 5 days without adults. The same experiment is repeated with girls instead. There are so many interesting psychological theories one can dig into here, but generally it's a good illustration of gender differences, social hierarchies, personality types, cognitive development etc..

Thinking deeply about reality can sometimes make the ground open up.

Why do you need to go to nightclubs or bars?

You're finding excuses to not get laid. Typical case of self-handicapping. Self-handicapping (wiki): "People withdraw effort or create obstacles to successes so they can maintain public and private self-images of competence." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-handicapping

If your goal is to score, be prepared to take any chance you got.

That doesn't necessarily have to be the case unless it constitutes an effective dose. If these endogenous substances only exist in trace amounts at baseline (way below the threshold dose), you could've probably seen a 1000x increase and still nothing would happen. On a related point, as far as I know, the idea that endogenous mystical experiences should be caused by elevated levels of certain substituted tryptamines is just a speculative hypothesis, has no support in any literature, and is a simplification of brain function. There is a lot more going on in the brain other than neurotransmitter production.

Toxic.
