What about all those obnoxious creeps who keep calling my phone with recorded spam messages? Obnoxious behavior and interrupting someone’s privacy to make a sale is considered the American way. If the PUA had been selling encyclopedias instead of himself, would the commentator have characterized the behavior as an understandable attempt to make a living?

Bufo Alvarius was my first psychedelic. It was a bit of a shock. You can manage it if you have a competent guide. It is a short trip, less than 30 minutes. I don’t recommend doing it alone. -
Most people give up the search for truth and instead accept the fake answers provided by organized religion.
-
Most people aren't pscyhologically able to live in an open state of inquiry and surrender to one of the organized religions providing all the "answers" to their questions.

Tribes would share women and the children belonged to the community. Sexual repression, jealousy, and wives is a trick of civilization that gives control to the top of the pyramid.
-
Because sex is such a powerful force, it is controlled through religion and the state. It took the missionaries great effort to convince the natives to feel ashamed of their sexuality. After the missionaries “civilize” the natives, then they move in to steal their land.

I learned Karate from a traditional Shotokan master who trained under Funakoshi – the man who coined the word “Karate” meaning “empty hand” in Japanese. The techniques he taught were deadly but he was also a pacifist. The traditionalists had a concept of using martial arts to develop character so that you would never have to get into a fight.

A lot of being social is about finding your tribe. If you are with people you vibe with, you will naturally connect. For example, I sometimes have been with a group of foodies where they have long conversations about food and different restaurants. They talk about all kinds of little details. I am not a gormet, so end up saying nothing. If you are in the wrong tribe, you will be an outcast.

It sounds like you never actually entered a journey. It could be because of many factors including your body physiology, diet, and quality of ayahauasca. Sometimes it may take several ceremonies for you brain to adjust to the new chemistry. The strengths of different types of ayahuasca can very signficantly. My shaman told me that in Peru they go deep into the jungles to find vines that are over a hundred years old. If you were on a journey, you would have known. In my last trip, it took 30 minutes to work and I had intense visions for five hours. -

I hope India remains Hindu for the sake of the planet. -

I remember Harris admitting that he is not a very good meditator. That isn’t surprising considering that he is intellectual and thus can’t get out of his head. He actually studied under Papaji, who was an over-the-top mystic. That being said, “materialism”, “atheism”, “spirituality”, “religion”, are just concepts moving around in the intellectual brain and have no bearing on a person's grasp of the truth. -
Noam Chomsky on Jordan Peterson

Obviously, but my point is the bulk of his commentary has nothing to do with clinical psychology. He is not functioning as an expert, but as a pundit giving his opinions. I am not saying there is anything wrong with that - just making it clear.
-
The stuff on the Bible and Jung are speculative and irrelevant to clinical psychology. He is really functioning as a pundit offering his opinions on current concerns. There is nothing wrong with that, but it should be made clear that he is just expressing his opinions and is not an expert providing facts and interpretation on current research in clinical psychology.

I can only suggest what I would do. I would write about the New Animism, Pachamama, and the Andean world view. The indigenous world view has been historically denigrated and considered inferior by Western academics and organized western religion, but in reality is now humanities only hope of survival.

Millions of people relied on their word and took the J&J vaccine. Do we jump everytime they change their story? -
The toxicity is non other then the toxicity of Western civilization – greed and arrogance. There is never enough, you have to keep acquiring more and more, and there is no limit. Then there is the pride of self improvement and the assumption that “self improvement” and “progress” are desirable in themselves. What is the difference between a PUA accumulating lays and Donald Trump accumulating real estate? Perhaps the only good PUA is a dead one.

I have taken so much ayahuasca that I have developed reverse tolerance. The more I take, the less aya I need to go on a journey. I take Bufo Alvarius once a month.

The idea is actually ancient. You have the Cult of Dionysus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult_of_Dionysus -

I don't listen to Rogan or any other media figure, but now it makes sense. He has more listeners than CNN. They have to attack the competition. https://www.sportskeeda.com/mma/news-ufc-news-joe-rogan-seemingly-millions-listeners-tucker-carlson-fox-news-cnn -

Why do people take this so seriously? Why can’t people have their own opinions? You now have YouTube commentators in little boxes commenting on YouTube commentators. Social media is pure madness. -

It’s officially promoted as a development model, but is it really? Most pictures of the spiral, that I have seen, show the spiral moving upwards, which in our culture “up” means better than “down”. Would it be fair to say most spiralists would consider green better than red or yellow more evolved and desirable than blue? Would a spiralist be happy if you told him the present development will be frozen for a thousand years, or may even go backwards down the spiral? It is also a linear system with the arrow pointing in one direction, rather than cyclic. The presumptions of Western civilization are baked into the cake.
