No

They are good in either case. You won't be able to deconstruct everything in your natural state. That state is way too low for serious deconstruction. But you should still be deconstructing stuff all the time with or without psychedelics. The psychedelic is just a catalyst. I only have one motive: pure understanding. Too vague for me to answer. Depends on many factors.

Yeah, but you won't know that without realizing truth. They know not what they sing.

Well, I'm not sure how reliable truth chemicals are. Probably spotty.

Any war can be ended by just one side surrendering. This idea people have that if Trump just ends the war by any means it will be great, is absurd, ignorant, and dangerous. There is a big difference between finding a genuine resolution to the conflict vs just producing a bandaid solution or giving one side everything it wants. Trump is a master at fake deals. A fake deal is not the same thing as genuine resolution or justice. I could negotiate a peace deal between you and your daughter's rapist by giving him the right to rape her once a month for a lifetime, and you can't say anything or else we kill your son. What a deal! This is Trump-style deal-making.

Of course it exists. Sodium thiopental, Amyl nitrite, and Scopolamine. Scopolamine is crazy powerful. People reveal their ATM pin codes.

This is not true. The problem with this logic is that it assumes you got the right guy. But if you get the wrong guy -- who doesn't know anything -- the more you torture him, the more lies he will invent to get you to stop. This actually happened with CIA torture programs in the Bush era. The wrong guys were snatched and assumed to be terrorists. But they weren't. And torturing them only made them invent lies which misled the CIA. Again, this is a failure of basic epistemology. You don't know what others know. Your assumptions about who knows what can be very wrong. Torturing someone assumes you know what they're supposed to know.

It is wrong to select music based on lyrics because great instrumentals and melody could have awful lyrics, and profound lyrics could sound awful. This is often the case. I select music based on how good the melody is. If the lyrics happen to be good, that is a lucky accident. Usually the lyrics are nonsense. It's almost impossible to articulate that. I just know it when I see it or hear it. I can hear a tune for 20 seconds and know if it's good or bad. That's how I select my music. Yes, there certainly is. But it is not monolithic. There are many varieties of great taste, as there are many great cuisines, so you should not expect everyone or even most to agree on it. But a great melody is obvious. You should notice that most people have poor taste, in everything: music, film, art, fashion, women, cars, design, etc. Great taste is rare, which is why great artists are rare. An artist is his taste.

If I say something like "everyone" or "everything" or "no one", this is usually said figuratively, not literally. It means very rare. That's what the quotes are. Where I'm coming from is a complex place that blends literal truths with figurative ones.

Your judgment of sex is foolish. I will have sex whenever I like however I like. The only reason I told you is to point out that your limited views of sex are of your own making.

You're missing the point. Of course you can find some counter-examples. The point is to notice how much low consciousness stuff humans usually sing about and how fooled they are with romantic love. When I make points, they are not simplistic literal statements of absolute fact, they are pointers to things your mind could notice about reality. When I say something like "everyone" it doesn't literally mean everyone, it is a generalization. I'm not going to over-explain that in a quote. If you can't get what is being pointed at, that's your loss.

Sounds psychotherapy would be good for you. Sounds like you got some deep issues that need to be talked out with someone. If you can afford to, I recommend hiring a therapist. It's not likely that we can give you a quick answer here. You need to work through all the baggage in your mind and get to the roots of things.

It's amazing that Trumpists don't have enough self-awareness to see that they are The Empire, not the Rebellion.

A boobie is more offensive than a bullet to the head. Puritan logic.

That's too big-brain for me.

Why wouldn't a highly intelligent AI share my anti-human bias? Perhaps being intelligent means realizing humans are not as good as they tell themselves. Is it really so intelligent to believe that your ass is indispensable to the Universe?

Stolen drugs taste twice as sweet

The other day I came 6 times. There was no lack of sperm. The more you cum the more sperm will be made.

I have the opposite problem. Jerking off I can last for an hour. With a real girl it feels too good and I cum too fast. That's one of the problems with real sex. It's too hot to last. This paradoxically makes real sex less enjoyable overall.

The question, Does torture work?, assumes that torturers care about truth.

Suzie from work will report you for sexual harassment. Don't shit where you eat.

It is necessary for me to create the teachings. But it is not necessary for others to benefit from the teachings. You need a PhD to teach, you don't need a PhD to learn. No. The point is not for a video to prove God to you. The point is to study the epistemology behind how people think improperly about God, so you don't end up like them.

Because it is a good lesson in advanced epistemology. Everything is aimed at understanding reality. Not a who. Yes

To be clear, I take Mod abuse seriously. Don't get the idea that corruption is acceptable here. My point was just that it's important to take responsibility for vetting people before engaging with them in coaching sessions. Especially random people found online. Coaching is a profession. Doing it well requires formal training. Do not get coaching from people who have no formal training and no proven expertise. A coach should exhibit maturity right off the bat by their vibe. A coach should also exhibit professionalism. Speaking disrespectfully towards a client is a big red flag. I've never encountered that in all my coaching experience.

America is drowning in toxic Stage Orange. So fits the bill perfectly.
