Based. What were you studying? You gotta do whats right for you.

Yeah, a really bad trip will do that. I have similar trauma from psychedelics. It can happen with 5meo too for sure. LSD is scary because of the duration of the experience. But overall 5meo DMT can be much scarier IMO. Always make sure you are in a good headspace and meditate for a while before jumping in. Make sure you are in a safe environment and make sure you are "feel the call" so to speak. Make sure you are well rested too. With that said, the more you resist, cling, and fight the more difficult it gets in my experience. It's counterintuitive but you can't control the outcome too much and just gotta accept it.

This is probably bad advice. I have read some scary experience of people mixing alcohol with 5meo. I wouldn't combine it with anything

I don't think he has outright "teared down" any systems, but he is trying to, and has openly talked about getting rid of many agencies. He is blatantly corrupt. First, he gave Trump 250 million dollars to get elected (buying influence). They then created a fake government agency called DOGE to "regulate federal spending". DOGE has illegally hacked into the Treasury system (containing everyone's social security number & bank account). They also hacked into other government agencies. For this to be legal, Congress would have to pass a bill. Trump and Elon do not care in the slightest. The trump administration has cut funding to USAID, openly speak of "getting rid of" the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (an organization that was created as a result of the 2008 financial crisis- he is working to deregulate the financial industry and undo the the work of the Dodd-Frank Act... the CFPB had plans of regulating X, Elon is working with Visa to create a digital wallet), they have attempted to slash the size of the federal workforce (two million government employees offered a "buyout"- if they don't accept they could get fired), essential pushed out the head of the FAA (massive conflict of interest as Elon hates SpaceX being regulated by the FAA), cutting funding to department of education (Trump spoke about "shutting it down" openly)... I could go on. I hope you are beginning to see what is happening. Neo-Cons feel that the federal government has too much power and are working to dismantle the federal government by defunding multiple agencies and potentially laying off millions of workers. There is a reason he is selling you ("we are trying to ending corruption"- lol), then there is the truth. Trump and Elon are far too biased to oversee anything fairly. Don't be intentionally dense. You have to be able to read between the lines. He is defunding federal agencies that are meant to hold him accountable. There are many judges who have spoken about how unconstitutional their actions are. Trump and Elon are done caring about constitutionality and playing by the rules- the executive branch is challenging the legislative and judicial branch. This is Andrew Jackson 2.0, probably worse. -

I am horrified of 5meo.. It can be difficult, but with practice becomes easier- once you see the glory beyond fear. I actually feel silly for how I used to fear this compound. There were many times I told myself I wouldn't do it again! Working with this compound is quite serious and you must accept death. Tell yourself "If I die, so be it." I was always more afraid of death than losing my sanity. When I die, I don't want to cling or struggle! I've tripped so much, I don't fear losing my mind anymore. A bit of fear is probably healthy, but you must work through it.
-
The fear is your ego protecting and defending itself. You gotta jump off the cliff my friend!
-
It's probably normal to a degree but past that is unhealthy. Certain items I have a harder time getting rid of. I remember a woman who was love with and wanted to fuck the Eiffel tower. Objectophilia. I think they ended up getting married.

You are right. Evil is a judgment your mind is making- when a lion chases and kills a gazelle, we don't see that as evil. When a lion kills another lion, we don't see that as evil either. Why is it that evil only pertains to humans and their behavior. "Good" is self-justification and "Evil" is what threatens the self. -

When someone gets scammed or manipulated they are victims! They may lack wisdom but you must direct your anger towards the people that are preying on the uneducated and not on the uneducated themselves. They are responsible to a degree but they are also desperate. Most Trump supporters have no idea what the hell is going on right now. -

A lot of people vote for change without understanding specifics. Plenty of uninformed voters. -

It's not reasonable though, it's insane. There is too much conflict of interest. How can someone be unbiased in an audit of the FAA when the FAA exists to keep that same person in check- SpaceX was fined 600k for not following licensing requirements for some of their rocket launches for example. Someone with such a vested interest in the downfall of these agencies should not be involved in overseeing them. You cannot remove his bias. You're not accounting for his own personal interests in the matter. If it was just about an unbiased third party regulating spending of these agencies, people wouldn't have such a problem with it. -

I'm right there with you. It's one thing to try to regulate federal spending, it's another thing to actively try to dismantle government agencies, especially ones that exist to regulate him and his business, like the Financial Protection Bureau, FAA, IRS, etc. I'm sure there is corruption and fraud in some these agencies, but his approach is absolutely cut throat and insane lacking nuance. -

I agree. I'm having trouble parsing some of this. I think there should be oversight on government spending, but I don't think it should be Elon doing this. He's too biased. Corporations hate the federal government getting in their way, which makes it hard to trust him. -

Forgive yourself. Many people are arguing "America voted for this". I doubt you voted for what's happening. Learn from your mistakes and be more informed next time. -
Anchoring yourself feels counterintuitive to the whole experience

Tinder is a tool for hook-ups. The same way you swipe right on an attractive woman in a bathing suit, women swipe right on an attractive guy in his underwear. It's really not too complicated. This doesn't even mean he has success with women or gets laid, just that he gets a lot of matches on tinder.

Kanye actually is a nazi but cannot articulate his thoughts at all. I'm cool with his naked wife, she bad fr.

Smart man. He clearly has an attractive physique and is aware of it. Nothing wrong with showing yourself off. Being bold can go a long way in the dating world.
-
To receive attention from someone you are attracted to will always feel good. An attention seeker comes off as needy and desperate which is unattractive. So if you want to be attractive, just keep your cool and don't be a weirdo. Many people do many things for attention and use it as validation. Just be aware of it. Know that there is a deeper fulfillment than attention from others.

I would bet that there are opportunities where you are and the belief that there aren't opportunities where you are is a self-limiting one. The U.S. can lack opportunity depending on where you end up also. If you don't like hustle culture, don't move to America. It will be expensive to study in the U.S. as well, and you probably won't have healthcare. You need to create your opportunities where you are and not think that some foreign place has all the answers for you. That being said, if it is truly your dream to move to America, you must at least give it a shot. You can always go back to your home country (Trump will probably deport your ass anyway).
