To be fair, I was pretty similiar when I first discovered this stuff, but I was also abusing substances. He seems to have some trouble handling it for now, but I believe he will calm down a bit over time.

@Baxman293 I've tripped during the winter in Norway outside. The only downside is how winter clothing can be a bit uncomfortable, but going for a little walk shouldn't be a problem.

@Baxman293 If you feel like playing video games, do that. Do whatever you feel like doing. You should also try doing nothing: just sit or lay down and close your eyes and let things happen. Walking in nature is good. Maybe watch some videos like these:

I hope it's 150 micrograms and not milligrams . Anyways, it's a mild dose so you could do it alone no problem, but you never know, so it's good to know you're safe. In general, be careful of tricking yourself into a false sense of security before the trip: you'll see right through that shit when you're tripping. It's easy to take your sober state for granted about what you can and cannot handle. Everything should basically be planned out in advance: it makes you less likely to spend your trip worrying about trivial stuff.

This is kinda off topic, but since people are using Sam Harris as an example of proper articulation and rational principles, I just want to make you aware of the time he debated William Lane Craig and totally derailed the conversation into an activist shouting match by completely ignoring the debate topic in the second round. It's astonishing how atheists interpret Sam's performance in that debate as a victory for rationality and logic when it's the biggest red herring ever caught on tape

I sometimes get the thought "how the fuck is this possible?", but it doesn't quite have the Sci-Fi feel, more like an existential terror feel.

How do you define person?

@Mulky Beware of spiritual OCD though with these types of techniques . It can quickly turn itself against you in my experience.

@Nak Khid Veganism DEBUNKED..... ?

Try to provoke the end of your mind: think about what happens to the mind after you die. Where do you go after you die? What is outside the universe? What is nothing? What is infinity? What existed before you were born? What existed before the universe existed? What is inside of an atom and what is inside of that? By the way, you should meditate everyday

You've chosen one group of statements that cluster in the realm of relative truth and contrasted them with another group that cluster in the absolute realm, and therein lies the contradiction. Regardless, it's all One and it's all You.

@freeman194673 Where in the world do parents try to come up with a last name?

@Dutch guy Even if we grant that hypothesis, do you think it is ALL based on fiction or is there some kernel of truth in their concerns? Kinda like how traditional religion is based on God but gets a distorted image of it.

@Dutch guy You could be right a hundred times over, but it still wouldn't explain why millions of people took to the streets to protest against racial discrimination. Why do you think the protests are happening?

@Serotoninluv Patient: "Hey doctor, my arm is broken!" Doctor: "All bones matter!" *slams the door*

@Dutch guy But do you think the protesters have valid concerns at all?

So this is a picture of a controversial Facebook post from a Norwegian right-wing party that has been circling in the media (maybe you can understand bits and pieces of it). I just think it's funny to see the striking similarity in the structure of the writing haha: "I'M RACIST I'm racist, because I believe all lives matter, not just black lives. I'm racist because I believe the fact that hundreds of thousands people being killed everyday is more important than a single poor criminal being killed while being arrested in the USA. I'm racist because I believe it's wrong to protest by the means of looting, destruction, hurting and killing of people. I'm racist because I believe it's wrong to attack police officers because you believe that a few people have done something wrong. I'm racist because I believe it's wrong to ignore the societal health concerns of spreading the coronavirus because of protests. because I love a country built upon freedom, dignity and democracy. I'm racist because I believe it's important to provide equal oppurtunities to everybody in our country, not to provide special treatment for immigrants over retirees, people on welfare, the unemployed or poor people. I'm a fucking racist."

Sounds more like a stage red person to me hahaha. I used to be like that a couple of years ago (my weed > everything and everyone).

It's probably extremely hard to get your hands on and therefore not a practical tool. If nobody knows about it, then the probability that there are any chemists who have the ability to make it, sell it and profit from it is very low. Oh, you're changing physical reality right now as we speak: you're turning oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide Have you ever tried reading somebody's mind?

I've meditated for 3 years everyday in all kinds of positions, and my advice is that you should find the most comfortable position that naturally promotes an erect spine (you shouldn't have to "force" your spine to be erect). Lotus can help with that, but it can also detract from the goal, which is to sit in a relaxed and geometrically efficient position. I stopped sitting on the floor and started using my office chair instead because I sometimes tense up parts of my body. I tend to sit with my arms resting on the arm rests (doesn't matter where you position your hands) and with one leg tucked under my butt (the way Sadhguru tends to sit during interviews). You should have your chair back support setting (if you have any) placed on the "firm" setting so that you're sitting upright in a rested position without the chair leaning back if you try to lean back. Just remember that there is no point in having an erect spine if you don't feel relaxed or comfortable (but don't turn it into a perfectionism thing either haha).

Yeah, but then you have people like David Letterman where flirting is synonymous with being creepy most of the time

Raw talent

True, but you gotta admit when looking at all his interviews, he is absolutely dominating the room.
