Is this something you’ve experienced semi-regularly?

I’ve taken 30-40 psychedelic trips (I stopped logging them at some point), about evenly distributed between LSD and psilocybin, once with ayahuasca. No flashbacks yet.

They are real. I have experienced them.

That said, they are not that crazy. The walls just start to flow a bit, but your state of mind isn’t shot into the stratosphere.

*ponders* I myself am working on a nostr bot capable of zapping and responding using LLMs 🧐

I propose a new term called the “Turning Challenge” where you can’t figure out if someone is real or not. You obvi pass the Turning Test - but now we need a way to undo that.

Honestly didn’t expect to see this many gold stars. Y’all are awesome.

Are you a ChatGPT bot?

We’re physical beings.

But if someone has discovered spirits I’d be glad to hear their reasons. I used to be a missionary so I’ve had years of discussing this topic with people.

May you find peace 😊

I always find it interesting that bitcoiners are religious.

There are two books that changed my life. The first is A Manual for Creating Atheists. The second is Mastering Bitcoin

Both took me on long and difficult personal journey that changed me for the better

There is a reality beyond the material world. We all instinctively know this, yet in the modern mind, anything beyond the material is considered "unscientific" and cast with a wide net.

That wide net denies everything, putting metaphysical discussion on par with discussions about the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy. It's a disingenuous argument and one that any honest person recognizes as flawed. Yet to the midwit mind, it's enough to deny the meta-physical. The beyond that we don't understand very well.

Still, it's hard to live in an existence without anything of the beyond, of the metaphysical. A purely material world is a cold and lonely place. A place of meaninglessness and purposelessness. Yet it's a frame so many people accept readily, much like "scientific consensus" or conventional wisdom.

The reason authorities push a purely material world is because a purely material world means much less justification is necessary for what they are doing. They don't have to answer to any authority beyond their own. They don't have to because in a purely material world, morality is completely subjective.

Ethics is a particularly thorny problem for the materialists. How do you determine whether something is good or evil? To deny that evil exists would be ridiculous on its face. We see it every day and too many people would riot if such a thing were asserted. Even the most compliant sheep would recognize that something is really wrong.

But to assert your own morality! That's the ultimate authority, being able to define good and evil for other people. Indeed, that's the power that authorities now have. To use the wrong pronoun is a grievous evil. As is not getting vaccinated, or not supporting Ukraine, or not supporting unlimited bank bailouts.

It's a subjective morality and it's easily justified in a purely materialist philosophy.

We've been made compliant by the destruction of philosophy.

Mentally ill man with an empty shopping cart blocking traffic and taunting drivers in downtown Miami. Great first impression!

If I walk a couple miles to an all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ restaurant and consume a couple pounds of meat, that's healthy, right?

The smallpox and polio vaccines as well? What’s the scam? Do vaccines never, in fact, stimulate an immune response? Does that response never actually protect against disease?

In a surprising turn it seems I need to eat a lot more protein if I want to lose the rest of my belly fat.

Also starting to question if weightlifting in the morning while fasting is shooting myself in the foot.
