Had my weekly ADHD self help group session today. I learn something new every time. Apparently keto diet can help with adhd symptoms, I might try that out. What's very interesting is that although people with adhd have very similar symptoms oftentimes it doesnt make them similar people at all. Some are more, some are less intelligent. Some have interests there and others there. For example many people with adhd struggle with attention span, especially if the task at hand isnt interesting so most adhd people would struggle with hard science for example. But if a person with adhd is interested in that, that person can get a hyper focus on this subject and competly nail it. I can develop a hyper focus. When I was a teenager I sometimes pissed myself when playing video games because I had such a hyper focus at the task at hand my system didnt have enough resources to even maintain basic bodily functions. I always thought that what kept me from achieving much wasn't my lack of intelligence or talent but interest. If I would just find the one thing I am very passionate about I would be great at it. Thats very likely the case. What is that though wtf!? It's in the direction of selflessness, great character, creativity, understanding .. it's not something easily tangible.

@NewKidOnTheBlock Then you just waste your vote which could be used against trump by voting democrats.

@Shodburrito Do you feel better now that you opened up and shared it?

I abandoned the belief that girls are physically attracted to guys in a significant way. Maybe it's different on tinder because looks are all there is. Well it takes a match to make a date. I dont think women would swipe right if they weren't interested, the guy can show off his matches to other people so the girls invest status.
-
Yes but it's against everything you have been told. Like it's usually about being charming and funny and when that goes right girls become emotionally open for sex. He just straight up shows off his meat wtf. But I am no attracting doctor btw. I see this as a learning opportunity. Maybe I am too uptight.

@Raze The button in the middle of the tinder apps makes two things visible, who likes you and what the top picks are.

I feel like people like this only adopt their behavior when serious punishments are on the line. He doesnt need to go to jail for this right? - he just becomes more popular. So it's a net win for him. I dont think it much more complicated then that. For that reason he should go to jail though.
-
Yeah thats what I mean. You explained it better though.

@Daniel Balan When we dont know the subject that is being talked about we tend to rely on secondary indicators which would indicate/ make it more likely that what is being said is valid. Indicators like a good ability to articulate oneself, confidence, ... basically what you talk about. You said It yourself, you need to think critically about what is being said. When you catch somebody lying you have to put all what is being said into question. And I also think with experience you won't get persuaded as easily. When you study human behavior by observing other people you can kind develop a good enough bullshit detector to see that trump isnt authentic, even if you dont know much about politics. -
Sesame Street is brilliant at times.

Probably just for attention. Kanye does a lot for attention. Or the site got hacked.

Because a small company doesnt have enough power to be that unethical. When they get bigger they have a growing potential to do so.
-
But you would adapt relatively quickly to a 30m yacht because it's super non essential. Yeah I see the status games. If everyone very wealthy just lost their wealth at the same time and they would all downgrade at the same time reality probably wouldnt change at all for these people, because differences are just in comparison, it takes a lot of shrinking until differences are actually felt. I am living a minimalist lifestyle gotcha! Well there are degrees of luxury. I dont see a smartphone as luxury. I think a 60m yacht, a golden watch, exotic alcohol for thousands of dollars, ... all that is luxury and there are many degrees between it. A Mercedes isnt pure luxury but it's beyond comfortable survival for sure.
-
I don't think companies or the boss of a company has the goal to be the most ethical. I see it rather that small companies dont have the power to be very unethical and when they finally have the power to act unethical they will. Yes but people have to be aware of it so that a government can image that will.
-
that makes sense.
-
Yes because downgrading from a regular Joes lifestyle actually has an impact on your life. Like you cant go out as much, you feel a bit like an outcast in society, you cant invite people to your place, you worry about paying the bills, your place probably really isnt as nice. But after a certain amount of wealth you dont become much happier. I have a graph for you. Downgrading from a 60 meter super yacht to a 30 meter super yacht doesnt actually make a difference. I agree. Yes we agree here. I disagree. Life isnt about survival but luxury is survival. Luxury is about climbing on the mountain and flexing on everyone that you are above them. A minority of billionaires give away their money but there are a few.
-
Well managing a big company can be fulfilling when it is helping the world. But you raise a crucial point, when you have a big company other peoples survival depend on your survival. I mean one could make the company more ethical but I guess there is a tradeoff. If you become too ethical it becomes unsustainable and you go bankrupt and at that point you cant provide any value at all anymore. But some people built a giant (unethical) company through a cut throat mentality and end up with absurd amount of wealth they have no real plan with other then expanding. Thats where I see an imbalance due to greed.
-
No they could put their money in projects that benefit mankind. That would likely be very rewarding. Money is potential power. If you have an absurd amount of wealth people will let you know that through kissing your ass and so forth. And if you are the boss of a giant company you will feel that power more directly. I am not sure how their mind work but I dont think they could be as productive if they were miserable.

I knew a guy in his forties once who had pretty big emotional problems as he was very lonely and didnt know how to change his situation. Basically worked all day to not feel his problems as much. He always had a cat that was alone in his apartment when he worked the day. He always told me how loud the cat screamed when he finally came home after 14 hours or so. He seemed empathetic to the cat but seemed to enjoy more that the cat needed him. Thats like the perfect image of a pet slave in my mind although in most cases it's not that bad. Pets cant choose their owner. Although one could make the case that they wouldnt be so clever to make this good decision for themselves, but one has to be careful to not give himself too much authority over the voice of the pet. Well cats sometimes choose their owner, that seems like a very honest sign to me.

@Malekakisioannis Ralston has an incredible baseline consciousness though. Just look at videos of him talking, he is to there in the moment. -
Adhd isnt contagious. When you never thought about having adhd and you the symptoms dont match your lived reality it's unlikely that you have it.

Has anyone experience with this substance? How is it compared to regular DMT?

Many people bought Tesla for status. So people will also not buy Tesla for status.

Can you accurately dose it with a vape pen? How does rectal and vaping effect the experience?
-
How do you consume it then? Rectally? Snorting?
