That's a good trip, with many important lessons to contemplate.
Your dose was a bit high. You will have a much better time with 1.5-2 grams. Try that next time.
Don't worry, trips are not all the same. You will have much better trips in the future if you dose properly and as you get more comfortable with how trips work.
Evil lasers? Sure, you could dream up such a backdrop to reality. The key is to notice that you're dreaming these things. And in some sense you have control over what you dream on psychedelics. You could dream evil stuff or you could dream angels and positive stuff. Notice that it's your mind that's taking you to that evil space. You gotta get better at managing your mind and letting go of evil images.
Don't consume psychedelics with food. Take them on an empty stomach. They work better that way.
Next time, I suggest that rather than thinking about evil lasers and such, you focus your intention of self-inquiry. What am I? What is consciousness? What is love? What is truth? What is God? These are the serious questions. Focus your attention on that. You can also focus your attention on the beauty of consciousness. Practice visualizing these positive things before you trip. Set a positive intention and drill it into your mind. What is it you want from a trip? Clarify this for yourself before you trip. Do you want to be healed from your depression? Then make that your intention.
Don't give up after one bad trip. Just learn the lessons it showed you. One of the biggest lessons is to lower your dose and respect the power of CONSCIOUSNESS! Consciousness is no joke. It can skullfuck you real bad if you go overboard. So be humble. What bad trips do is they teach you the lesson of humility by beating you over the head. This is a very positive thing even though it doesn't feel good in the moment.

This makes so sense. The ego is constantly judging everything as bad.
You judged 10 things as bad today. And you have done so every day of your life. And you will do it again tomorrow. Just observe yourself.
Ego IS a matrix of goods and bads.

Not really. It's too common. Serious intelligence goes way beyond anything a human can cultivate through any amount of practice or work.
Intelligence is fundamentally genetic.
I told you guys that I could blackpill you.

Ralston does not have a cult around him.
Ralston is one of the most genius humans on this planet. It takes insane intelligence to appreciate everything he offers.
Most people will never understand what Ralston has achieved. He's NOT just another enlightened nondualist. He has achieved a level of understanding of reality which hardly any human on this planet has achieved.

Introversion is the avoidance of socialization because it is found vapid and unsatisfying relative to the effort and hassle required.
Women find humans beings more interesting than men do, because their survival requires that. Men are not so interested in humans but more interested in things. So that is also an overlooked factor.

Yes, I have worldly obligations. Mostly with my biz (Actualized.org) and you guys. Also a bit of family obligations, but not much.
I am not a social person because I find it too shallow and I like my freedom.
I don't need to talk much about these topics with people/family because I get it out via my videos. The videos are my outlet.
To me social balance looks like living in a cabin in the woods with maybe a girlfriend. And interacting with students via teachings or writing. I don't care for having a social life in the conventional sense.
Don't try to emulate this unless it feels natural to you. People have different social preferences. Mystics tend to have an abnormally high tolerance for solitude.
Figure out what you want. What I want is irrelevant to you.

You have no idea what a person needs.
Do give people such advice or you will harm them.
All these diets are fantasy. It is self-deception. Be careful what you are doing.

The key is to handle the situation so it doesn't feel awkward. That can be done various ways and depends on context.
If you set up cheap dates like coffee or ice cream then it's easy to pay. Do not set up fancy expensive 3 course dinner dates.

I teach very advanced things. Isn't that obvious? That's because I have an advanced mind and if you want simple teaching those are a dime a dozen. Bookstores are filled with basic self-help advice. My mind is not needed for that. My focus is to teach things no one else will teach you.
It's like I teach graduate school, not high school. Most people never get to grad school. 
But also, I try to make things very accessible because this doesn't require some crazy IQ to understand and normal people can learn it.

I have become conscious of LOVE to such as high degree that it was more terrifying that any horror movie that you have ever seen.
That's LOVE. No human comprehends what LOVE is. If you fully saw it you'd be so traumatized you would get mental breakdown.
This ain't some hippie Buddhist love bullshit. This is actual LOVE.

My experience with organics is limited. Mushrooms definitely feel more "alive", more multi-dimensional than just a single chemical. Mushrooms have a certain lively, creature-like quality to them which I do not get so much on other chems. I actually miss it. 5-MeO is amazing but it doesn't have that trickster, creature quality.

Psychopathy is a physical brain disorder. They are literally missing the part of the brain necessary to feel empathy.
Logic will not fix that.
You could perhaps convince them, however, to act nice for their own benefit, to stay out of prison. 1/3rd of prison inmates are clinical psychopaths.

DMT is much, much more visual.
5-MEO barely alters your sense of vision. It's visually mild while DMT is visual crack.
5-MEO is more ego-dissolving.
5-MEO has high load-body. Can be quite uncomfortable at first.

Hitler didn't invent that. He himself was radicalized with anti-Jew propaganda while living homeless on the streets in his youth. He was a megaphone for the scapegoaty ideology of his era. He was like a teen who hangs out on 4chan all day, then gets elected to office.

The ultimate truth is that all judgment and criticism is pure delusion and ignorance.
Criticizing anything in reality is idiotic because reality is Absolute Love. It cannot be anything better nor can it be different.
The only reason anyone criticizes anything is because their perceptive is too small.

One option is to have phases in your life where you sleep around, and phases where you are in serious relationships. This seems more realistic for many people.

It depends on how good your day game locations are.
It's all about location, location, location.
Good day game locations are pretty rare. But in some cities they are amazing.

When I was young and considering whether I should get a philosophy PhD, I read this book and it helped me understand whether it was right or not for me:
https://amzn.to/42uGcf0
You can find more such books which explain the PhD graduate school life/process to you. These books are essential to read before taking the leap.
When I read that book I realized that I would never find truth in graduate school. So I dropped it.
Remember, for pretty much any path you want to pursue in life, someone else has already pursued it and written a book about it. So do your research before you make such a big decision.

25+ rounds.
Have not tried DMPS yet.

Take the best insights and lessons from everyone. No need to chose a favorite. You will learn important bits from everyone.
I learned valuable tidbits from everyone I ever met in game. Even from psychopaths, rapists, criminals, creepers, alcoholics. It's all grist for the learning mill. You learn from the good, the bad, the ugly. From success and from failure alike.

That's why hardcore players don't settle down, they just sleep around and date casually.
Not saying that's right, but that is one lifestyle option.
Yes, there is an inherent tradeoff between relationship and freedom/variety.

Austin, Texas… especially if you’re a neurodivergent weirdo.

It's like apples and coconuts.
Most mentally ill people are not geniuses, they are homeless drug addicts living on the streets mumbling to themselves.
The truly insane are locked up in a padded room. They don't produce anything.

Just seems unnecessary and even insulting. Rogan and Lex make tons of money. They don't need Musk to directly pay them. That would make them feel corrupt. The corruption is far more powerful when they don't even realize it's happening.
The more scary thing to consider here is how easily elites makes friends and how totally blind they are to the corruption that their "innocent" friendships promote. This is the very heart of how society is corrupted: it's just rich, powerful, and famous people all getting super friendly with each other, and in so doing screwing over everyone else without even an ounce of self-awareness. They are so blind to it that it's terrifying when you realize that this is how all elites function.
They are literally doing the corruption live on TV while complaining about how society is ruined by elite corruption. The lack of self-awareness is staggering.

I can’t believe this…
