  1. I don't mean it as a pejorative, just in the sense that it's very rare or "unnatural". If someone came into your room right now with a gun pointed at you would you not fear?
  2. How is that possible, are you really some freak or just boasting?
  3. What do you mean with "scientifically"? Are you talking about actual published scientific papers? I found this one which I'm reading now: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12152-024-09564-3 But maybe you have some study in your mind that I missed. Look at the abstract of the above paper: "Increasing evidence suggests that psychedelic experiences, undergone in controlled conditions, can have various durable psychological benefits. One such benefit is reductions in fear of death, which have been attested in both psychiatric patients and healthy people. This paper addresses the question: how, exactly, do psychedelic experiences reduce fear of death? It argues, against some prominent proposals, that they do so mainly by promoting non-physicalist metaphysical beliefs. This conclusion has implications for two broader debates: one about the mechanisms of psychedelic therapy, and one about the potential non-medical uses of psychedelics for the alleviation of existential angst in psychiatrically healthy people. On the first count, the paper argues that the role of metaphysical belief change in fear of death supports the “Relaxed Beliefs Under Psychedelics” (REBUS) model of psychedelic therapy over alternative accounts. On the second count, the paper argues that the role of metaphysical belief change undermines the proposed use of psychedelics in the “neuroexistentialist” project of naturalizing spirituality. The best available evidence suggests that when psychedelic experiences reduce existential angst and restore a sense of meaning in life, they do so primarily by persuading people of the falsity of a broadly naturalistic worldview, and thus do not help reconcile people to the truth of such a worldview." Is this paper unironically making the claim in the last sentence ("... the truth of such a worldview") that the naturalist worldview is rightfully assumed to be true, or am I reading it wrong? If so I'm flabbergasted by the unscientific arrogance. Holy shit!
  4. Quit forever, forgive yourself and get a job or start a business. Literally the only thing you can do that works. I get that its easy to say. Hell, I'm at the brink of ending my life so I its not like i made it or anything. But quitting is possible. I quit my severe weed addiction of 9 years, 1.5 year ago and i never looked back. Just totally quit forever. Any addict who succesfully recovered will tell you this. Just totally quit and never do it again, not even one bet. thats the only thing that works.
  5. I feel you bro, thats all I can say. I hope you somehow make it.
  6. Can psychedelic use acutely or permanently release fears of death and other fears? In other words, can you use it to sever karmic chains that are keeping you shackled to certain earthly concerns?
  7. You're blessed to even have an opportunity to marry a chaste woman. For us westeners it's entirely out of the question. We are cucked to no end.
  8. I advise not listening to @LordFall and @Miguel1 on this issue. They are good looking (Miguel at least is in his "area") and so their success is mostly misattributed to their "game". If you really want to learn game invest in some bootcamps. then you'll see what your actual results can be. But if you're average or below looking don't expect much from it.
  9. Its not about metoo fear, women have simply decided to reject most men and return to their prehistoric hypergamous nature. https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/politics-and-the-life-sciences/article/toward-individualistic-reproduction-solving-the-fertility-crisis-could-require-a-further-marginalization-of-men/F26A4750B666344157278B72CFC5D223
