That's dubious. Higher doses yes. The really bad trips come from overly high doses.

The evolution of my trips was not tied to any one dose or chemical. It was a cumulative effort from 100s of trips and lots of sensemaking work. High doses are often counter-productive because the trips are too radical to make sense of or even remember. Your goal should be sensemaking, not dose-maxing.

Yes Yes

Yes it is hard. But it is very worth it. Yes, being free is so good that it's hard to describe.

@Salvijus As if Satan could not create a silly shroud.

I didn't question whether he existed. I asked you how you know he wasn't Satan. And you have no response. You didn't even understand the question. You are worshipping the shroud of Satan and you are too drunk on your own fantasy to see it.

Illustration of crypto bro:

I know. That's where I got the idea.

I don't do psychedelics nowdays.

Bitcoin is good. But the people who chase crypto for profit are evil.

Require all political candidates to pass a basic history, geography, and political science exam.

Bad trips happen. You can't control that. Just relax, focus on other activities, and let a few weeks pass. You'll get over it. You don't need to attach some profound significance to a bad trip. A bad trip can happen for no good reason and there's no need to rack your mind over why. Let it go and move on.

@xeontor Not playing your games. Enjoy your AI jerk session.

If Christians hate you, you must be doing something right

Never trust a crypto bro. Crypto people are low-lives.

It's hard to say because everyone is so different. The only way to know is to experiment and see what you discover. But the more you experiment the more dangerous it gets.

Nice try but this AI is stupid. My job is still secure.

Go for it!

This is an Epistemic Jackal:

But I loved truth ever since I was a teenager, busy with school and clueless about life. So that's no excuse. Love of truth does not require you to have some special philosophy job. You don't need to be a zookeeper to love animals.

He was pretty decent.

Yes, it's just a matter of follow-through. You need the skills to close the sale.

It's not just passive openness, you have to be creative and invent alien consciousness using your intellect. Consciousness becomes whatever you are able to imagine. So imagine what you wish. Don't just sit like a passive sheep. Be proactive. You want Alien Love? You want Goblin Love? Create it! You are God.
