Our conditioning has us ignoring our feelings & ultimately suppressing them, especially as a man.

You can't have any feeling without first having a belief or definition. Ask what it is that you believe about yourself to feel this particular way.

All feelings are valid & should be accepted. It does not mean you have to do anything though, just feel them.

What meaning you derive from the feeling is up to you. Ultimately it's your heart trying to communicate with your conscious mind. It's saying hey there, have you noticed this?

You can delay facing, acknowledging & experiencing a feeling but you can't ignore it. The slaps from the universe will get louder & harder until you're forced to face them.

As the guy says in the pod, come back to your slow conscious breath & just let it all wash over you. When you accept them instead of denying them. They will deliver their message & then dissipate.

Don't get caught up in the stories & drama of your ego. They're just stories, you have nothing to fear.

When you think you got it, but still measuring things through the old system.. #bitcoin

GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE GUY

Happy Nostrversary 🎉🫂💜

Woooow... how different stimulai effect each one of us different...

✨️🎉

I can't use it. It makes me unproductive, lazy and insecure. I woke up next day with a head like a stone, I get paranoid and have loop thoughts. It's not a case of misuse. I understood this soon after experimenting, I was very young. So I stopped and would only use when going partying and only if I felt confortably. It makes me also very lazy. Before going to do something I already convinced myself that is best not to do.

Is ok 🫂

Intutive sleepy aren't you..

I’m pretty sure one of them came instantly to mind when you watched it 💀

Utopia because Utoday

What if we just like loved each other and shit

I wish I could get high like I used to. The paranoia is too intense now and if I have saliva it blows out my cerebellum and I get intense paranoia and sometimes feel like I might have a heart attack or some shit. Just isn’t fun anymore. I miss being chilled to the max and the munchies 😔

Gemini on my phone, I just share the YouTube link to it. I assume any LLM can do similarly though. I appreciate the timestamps so I can drill down if I actually want to investigate further. A lot of videos have mostly filler these days I find, so this can help avoid a lot of unnecessary blather.

One of my favorite uses of LLM is to save hours of my time by getting the gist of a long video I'll never have the time to watch.

LLM output:

The video features a conversation between host Aubrey Marcus and cannabis expert Ryan Sprague, who discuss the "psychedelic" and psychological aspects of cannabis use. They focus on reframing how people view the effects of the plant, particularly negative ones like paranoia.

Here are the main points from the discussion:

* Paranoia is a Feature, Not a Bug

Sprague argues that the paranoia or anxiety often felt during cannabis use is actually a beneficial "feature" rather than a negative side effect. He suggests that these feelings reveal the user's internal state, ego, and hidden fears. Instead of fighting it, he recommends sitting through the discomfort (which he notes often passes in about 90 seconds to a few minutes) to break through to a "bliss state" [00:36], [03:42].

* "Tuning In" vs. "Tuning Out"

A distinction is made between using cannabis to "tune out" (numbing oneself to forget a bad day) versus "tuning in" (using the altered state to examine one's life). Sprague shares a personal anecdote about how early use helped him realize he was unhappy in his job and needed to take responsibility rather than just escaping the feeling [01:57].

* Cannabis as a "Gatekeeper"

Challenging the old "gateway drug" propaganda, Sprague describes cannabis as a "gatekeeper." He believes that if a user cannot handle the introspection or intensity of cannabis, it acts as a guardian, signaling that they may not be ready for deeper psychedelic experiences or that they need to look inward before proceeding [02:20].

* Active Participation and Integration

The speakers emphasize that cannabis is an "active technology" rather than a passive medicine like a painkiller. It requires the user to participate in the process. The goal is "integration"—taking the temporary state of mind achieved with the plant and turning it into a permanent personality trait or perspective without needing the substance constantly [01:15], [10:26].

* Intimacy and Relationships

Sprague discusses how cannabis has functioned as a "teacher" in his own relationship, helping to facilitate deeper intimacy and communication with his partner over their eight years together [01:42:12].

* Discernment and Personal Responsibility

The video concludes with a strong disclaimer that cannabis is not for everyone. They stress the importance of discernment, noting that there are many ways to reach higher states of consciousness (such as meditation or breathwork) and that no single path is the "only" way. Users must be honest with themselves about whether they are using the plant to grow or simply to numb themselves

Fair point indeed, I've thought a lot about the abundance of precious metals in space but never about the complete lack of organic materials. And I really like wood.

What’s the opposite catching a falling knife?
