@something_else Sure, but I don't see what problem you have with me though?

And this, is the vicious cache twenty two of this place, on the one hand recommending psychedelics, and talking about how to handle one safely apart from other self help or spiritual topics. However, if you don't know how to acquire one, and don't have a psychedelic, and don't know how to actually acquire a specific type, then, while advice of how to manage what synthetic psychedelics or natural psychedelics is relevant, when you don't have or know no way of getting one, it becomes irrelevant until you have one. Any answer that explicitly suggests where and how you gain a psychedelic, is drug sourcing, which is illegal. So, in one hand, you should ideally get more helpful info of getting one first, not just what and how to handle a psychedelic, but you can't provide how you acquired them exactly because it's illegal, so it becomes a catch twenty two. I think you are smart enough to find out yourself and research yourself, maybe start researching which country has which type of psychedelic you are interested in that's legal to purchase, and plan to visit there in the future.

@Florian True, they are two sides of the same coin. The problem is that the coin is dirty and corrupted fundamentally here and there, that manage to slip in and ruin the beauty of the coin's face, tail and edges. The challenging thing here, is how do we clean the coin properly, without damaging the face, tail, and the edges of the coin?

Condensing that poem into a sentence is a pretty difficult thing to do, and it doesn't do it justice. However, in my opinion, the poem is a cry for help, in some way. Also, a pretty difficult to convert into a song of some kind.

Leo also covered this a bit in his 'what is decisiveness' video.

@Nate No, it should definitely not be reduced to one skill. For example, if someone's LP is architecture, spent a few years doing that, but discovered it's no the best fit, they quit, and pursue comic book drawing. They spend some more years into it, discover what resonates and doesn't, leaves the comic artist path to pursue authoring books and becoming a novelist. Somewhere down that path, they realized something: the person's skills they acquired from architecture, comic penciling and inking, and from writing stories, can come together to help create graphic novels, or animated graphic novels. You gotta pretend you are a pacman, collecting points and working towards getting star points. Even though each point may be different, you still retain those skills over the years.

The only thing hellish, is too many limitations that are too difficult to over come.

@Gabith However, if this was for me to become a super powerful drawer for eternity, I'd take the deal pretty fast Sex is fun, but drawing sexy stuff is way more fun to me.

@Gabith No, because my balls would shrivel up, and too much sex is super boring. Assuming I can come and go as I please, to various parts of the world, have other super powers, I'd take the deal, but not if I'm eternally in a sex garden.

@John Iverson I love drawing nature and other locations, characters, and doujinshi. I loved dinosaurs, more for the illustrations, less for the archeology and scientific jargon. I love video games, and board games. I loved to write stories, outline complex plots and characters, and coming up with amazing stories in my mind. I love watching videos like these, I can feel that this is the YouTuber's LP, as he really does get that scarred:

@benny Yes, but there are some paths I'd like to introduce to you, because your order of research + contemplation of ideas + implementation, is not the only order. There's also contemplation first, then research of ideas or study of other things related to what you've contemplated, then implementations, as mentioned above. There's also implementation, or taking action first, if you really don't have enough research, information or life experiences, then after accumulation of experiences, comes either more research or contemplation, and vice versa, because your needs some amount of information first to contemplate a bit more, especially if you start branching out those ideas to other fields. There's also the possibility of adding more phases to your process. For me in particular, I have a bias against contemplation if it's too logical, so I first start drawing, thumbnail sketches of what I'm contemplating, then I research some more, then I take more action, in this case keep on drawing it and fleshing it out until I have a really good and solid picture, or take that and apply that to some other field.

Also a good video by Destiny, shows how difficult it is to maintain a perspective from tier 2:

Working being stage yellow systems thinking. I'm floating somewhere between stage orange and green.

This is a pretty good example of some self awareness, and rationale used properly, with some tier 2 cognition:

When I said that Destiny has a western bias and tier 1 takes, I'm referring to videos like this and related. A tier 2 cognitively predominant individual would not be making absolute statements like these without fully explaining each point of view viewing this situation: The internet and debatebrosphere has also impaired his ability to read real books at length too. Again, learn what is useful and modal that, and learn what isn't and avoid.

@Someone here

I have also discovered an amazing video. It'll make anyone's day:

This is one of many example of someone who's at tier 1 cognition compared to Destiny, who's not quite at tier 2. Although this is used to compare and contrast in a somewhat negative light of tier 1, this man has happened to find his LP, and is a very talented YouTube horror reactionary, so good that he sometimes hurts himself playing and reacting to scary games and jump scares, this is some of his videos.

@Kksd74628 He seems to not like philosophers though.

@zurew In videos where Destiny gives he's take on the Russian/Ukraine conflict, he gave a more western biased view about the situation, and I haven't seen that he was able to explain the situation from the Russian perspective. He even demonized a philosopher, who's giving a more nuanced and stage yellow take on that situation. It seems like Destiny doesn't like philosophical people.

@Carl-Richard I hope you realize this was clipped out of context, right?

@Dryas Sure, in which case he could have given a balanced take on the Russia/Ukraine conflict. It's not a binary, where you are only tier 1 or tier 2 cognition. Most people are stuck at tier 1, some are at tier 2, some are predominantly at either, and some have qualities of both.

@zurew Plus, he has a reductionist/deduction like worldview as well, which will also act as a filter for how he interprets data.

@Kksd74628 Not necessarily. Just because he argues and debates very well, doesn't make him tier 2. The question is, Is Destiny both aware of the limits of arguing, and is he willing to acknowledge how deeply limiting that frame work is, and that he put himself into a sunk cost fallacy? The degree to which he is capable and willing to answer that question honestly, is the degree of how much tier 2 cognition he really has.

@Dryas There's no clear cut evolution from tier 1 to tier 2 cognition. Destiny's just really good at debating, and explaining in a hyper logical fashion what and why your point of view is right or wrong. This can give a false impression that you are at tier 2. If he was at tier 2, he would have actually been able to explain, in a non-triggered and non-partisan way, the Russia/Ukriane conflict, and how each can be resolved in an ideal way.
