Bananas were notorious during the 1960's for getting high by scraping off the peels and drying/baking the skins and rolling them up to smoke. I have absolutely no idea what chemicals interact with the brain when doing this. Still, I have seen reports of people who eat copious amounts, attesting to the fact that bananas naturally contain serotonin and that if you eat a large quantity, you can get a high similar to MDMA or an antidepressant drug. This makes no sense, however, as regular digestive processes would likely destroy any serotonin in its organic form before it has a chance to enter the bloodstream. I made 3 smoothies with 5 med/large ripe bananas in each together with a splash of almond milk. After ingesting, I didn't feel anything for about 4 hours, until I was kicking back to watch The Endless (10/10 budget horror film btw) when I had full-blown 5-MeO flashbacks, free-falling through infinity, indicating my serotonergic system was definitely being affected. Curious if any chem/dietary professionals know anything about this. Bananas can legit take you places. https://www.instagram.com/reels/DdUNM76tsAN/

7 Super introverted, although I like people in small doses. I've been "told" I'm autistic by a handful of people, so I just roll with it. I can see some traits in myself, but also sometimes people struggle to put me in a box, so this one is convenient.

@LastThursday The first time I ever got a full body massage was after years without any physical contact outside of my hairdresser, and it released enough oxytocin to edge mahasamadhi bro. Get a basic grooming routine going. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DdFR3lvMi33/

Bias towards being a man and your dating/relationship advice skews toward pickup and less so toward long-term relationships; it's lacking a lot. I know you've made episodes such as "a rant against the pickup community" etc. Nevertheless, the vibes of this space in dating/sexuality/relationships is still very red-pill/pickup coded, with very little emphasis on deeper or longer-term connections between partners. Bias towards being a dick; literally using your social status and gravitas to call people names and act like an edgy teenager with respect to some of the most serious and mentally destabilising topics known to man. What could go wrong? Also, such wow, so amazement! ... many young guys emulate this behaviour here, monkey see, monkey do. Bias towards teaching/explaining. Not everything can or should be explained. In this vein, bias towards logic and rationalism away from emotion, feelings and the body, which are alternative (not necessarily equal) modes of interfacing with reality as humans. Bias towards literal definitions of words as opposed to contextual interpretations of words; a subtle point I've noticed again and again, where you will dismiss people's expressions because they aren't using words according to your own internalised or standardised definitions. A recent example: "gym rat" is typically a term of endearment and camaraderie. Rat in other contexts: not so much. Bias towards novelty. Sometimes the boring old things really are best. Also a subtle sense of almost needing to do something new or novel. American. Bias against normies. Once you said if you had to work a post office job, you would kill yourself. Why the antipathy to normal ass jobs or existence? Baboon.

Mourning. She settled upon me as dew in the early morning fields of tenderness. My world shifted an inch as she raised her head, the fluttering of her lashes rousing birds warmly nested within. Her glance pierced me as the golden rays of dawn beckoned all that was natural to summon itself from dreary slumber. Her fingers twinkled in the dewdrop's delicate retreat from the impressions they imparted. Sparrows stretched their wings and quickly leapt downward, with a soft fearlessness. She drew me out and folded me away. My heart mourns. It mourns the loss of late-night driving and walking with you hand in hand, Out into the wide yonder of foreverywhere, where dreams are birthed and all that is false goes to die. It mourns lazy afternoons with you, tucked away in a mundane corner of the world, Etching out something of such little and profound consequence, Before eating a meal together, watching a film together, and then falling asleep together, back into foreverywhere. In here. Where a knotted pulse unwinds and the soul finds reprieve from all its transgressions. Wounded teardrops falling like rain to nourish newborn dreaming. Pain pours out of me as I sink into peaceful loving.

Gods intelligence is crystallizing your couch. Look at your couch right now. Isnt it magnificent? There might be a little bit of dust underneath. Gods mind is rendering every fine grain and hairline texture of it. Every hand that crafted it, and every life those hands will live. All philosophy is going to do is wear it out and fuck it up permanently. Show some respect.

Elated to witness her experiencing the sublime.

Get 'em Joe! get 'em. No more kid gloves. It's go time.

Watching self-help and pickup content, Then starting your own business to teach it and walk around like you're God's latest gift to Earth.

If Naturalism is True Newtonian mechanics is not a subset of general relativity. They are two different stories in the minds of men, in the minds of different eras, in the mind of God, that overlap imperfectly. This is what happens when you tie your survival to your Truth seeking, you won't see straight to save your life.

It feels off because he is talking at people as if he knows their subjective experience. But I suspect some of that grating communication style is deliberate; it generates emotional polarity that captivates attention... unfortunately, that discomfort usually doesn't translate into more consciousness in people, just unconscious defence mechanisms that can make things worse. Some of the grating communication is also being driven by discontent with people in general, as he is impatient. Religious people believe in God for all kinds of different reasons, and most could actually tell you "why" they believe. Religious institutions also provide many useful cultural and social functions that people are very aware of, to the detriment of individual consciousness cultivation. The survival functions religions facilitate differ from direct experience of God, and direct experiences of God vary in depth and consistency. Many religious people have had some kind of direct experience that then gets mixed up with beliefs, human games, unconscious/uncognized mechanics, which further complicates things. It's hard, man. Only an idiot would try to teach God.

Even Buddhism is mired in conformity and groupthink. Leo is right about that. I have an intuition that it has a higher success rate of getting people to classical enlightenment than other traditions, but it's still abysmally low. Even then, classical enlightenment is just the beginning. This game goes much deeper than many ancient masters probably realised; it's easy to have one or two awakenings and get complacent.

Why do people believe in God? Philosophy. ... philosophy is a hallucination.

AI is changing my flashcard game. I spent about 30 hours this week creating a custom Anki anatomy deck. It contains 249 beautiful illustrations that I manually scanned and edited from a cheap, discontinued flashcard deck. Albertine, Kurt H. Anatomy Flash Cards. 2nd ed. Palgrave Macmillan, 2008. ISBN: 9781420256192 There are 2522 cards corresponding to pins on the illustrations. Everything is well tagged and the deck can be subdivided into: Skeletal system Muscular system Nervous system Lymphatic system Circulatory system Respiratory system Urinary system Digestive system Reproductive system Endocrine system All the muscle pins in the muscular system also contain information on the muscles' origin, insertion, innervation and major functions. Most of the other pins contain a brief description of the anatomical features and function, generated by ChatGPT sol 6.1. There may be some minor errors but overall I trust the output when it comes to established fields like anatomy and physiology. I wanted to share it as I have noticed there are quite a few medical and allied health students/professionals on this forum. Not to mention artists!, but I would be doing some major copyright infringement. So it's just for me. Learning anatomy is a pain, as most decks are either too detailed, highly specific, too narrowly focused or conversely too simple or broad, and creating your own usually takes too much time. I wanted to make something that would be suitable for beginners up to intermediate/advanced, as well as comprehensive enough for my own study and professional purposes. Completing this deck will make me very fluent with the entire body without demanding too much time. Previous experience has shown me it takes about 3-5 minutes of spaced repetition per card to commit it to long-term memory. Meaning it should take about 120-250 hours to love my way through this deck into unconscious competence land. Study time!
