Can I watch movies while doing pranayama? Do I need to be actively there?

@Butters asperger and artists are still different. And I would say many autists are sociopaths in their own loving way.

@Miguel1 do you really think I researched that what I wrote? That I have some studies in the background to tell you the obvious?

You all forget that Owen cook is autistic. Autistic people have this crazy energy, full of emotions and drive for power. They are impulsive and get bored easily. They don't talk normal, it sounds like they are screaming. They are always chasing something. They are hyper individualistic and if you interact with them, they will draw you into their world. Yours doesn't matter.

@Leo Gura the good thing is 5 Meo gets more and more popular. I bet it will be even more popular than LSD in the future. We will have a lot of data and you can calculate the risks better.

@Leo Gura I know someone who took 5 meo 500 times and is fine. I wish there could be a clear reason to why it happened to you on a normal trip within normal consumption rate of psychedelics.

@Oppositionless is Mira funk interviewed by Martin ball ? He released a book about 5 Meo facilitators. I want to see what she said.

Was there a single event on 5 Meo where you contribute to that inflammation? Like a high dose? Did you do something different on that trip? Or was it just a normal trip like every other trip? Or was it heavy usage multiple times a week which gradually damaged your brain?

@Leo Gura i asked Gemini. Yes I know you should research for your self. Gemini: Cerebral inflammation (encephalitis or vasculitis) following 5-MeO-DMT use is extremely rare in medical literature, but there are scientific frameworks that explain how this could happen—especially when an autoimmune condition is part of the equation. Here is a breakdown of the potential mechanisms: 1. The Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) & Serotonin 5-MeO-DMT is a potent serotonin agonist. Serotonin plays a sophisticated role in regulating the blood-brain barrier. Permeability: High activation of serotonin receptors (specifically 5-HT2A) can temporarily increase the permeability of the BBB. Immune Infiltration: If this barrier is weakened, immune cells or inflammatory factors from the bloodstream can enter the brain tissue—areas they are usually strictly barred from. In a system where the immune response is already "primed" or hyper-reactive due to an autoimmune condition, this can lead to an acute inflammatory cascade within the central nervous system. 2. Drug-Induced Aseptic Meningitis (DIAM) There is a clinical phenomenon where certain substances trigger an inflammatory response in the linings of the brain. The Autoimmune Connection: Patients with existing autoimmune disorders (like Lupus or Rheumatoid Arthritis) are statistically at a higher risk for DIAM. Hypersensitivity: This is essentially a Type III or IV hypersensitivity reaction. While some research suggests 5-MeO-DMT has anti-inflammatory properties via the Sigma-1 receptor, in a complex or predisposed immune environment, it may paradoxically act as a "trigger" that the body misidentifies as a threat, launching a massive immune attack. 3. Physiological Stress (Hypertension & Hyperthermia) The physical intensity of a 5-MeO-DMT experience can put extreme stress on the body’s regulatory systems. Vascular Stress: A sudden, massive spike in blood pressure can cause microvascular damage or lead to PRES (Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome), which involves brain swelling and inflammation. Thermal Damage: Extreme hyperthermia (overheating) during a high-intensity experience can damage nerve tissue directly and trigger a secondary inflammatory "cleanup" response that can spiral out of control. 4. Documented Cases & Reality In formal medical journals, specific reports of 5-MeO-DMT causing encephalitis are nearly non-existent. Most clinical focus remains on Serotonin Syndrome, which in severe cases causes brain damage through seizures or oxygen deprivation. However, in anecdotal "trip reports" and harm-reduction communities, there are scattered accounts of long-term neurological "re-triggering," brain fog, and inflammatory-style symptoms. These cases are rarely studied clinically, leaving a gap in our understanding of how the substance interacts with complex immune profiles.

I researched, cerebral inflammation can happen on a autoimmune disorder which you have. What was exactly the reason 5 meo did that. High blood pressure or serotonin syndrome or lack of oxygen?

Which of these damages were occurring exactly? Sleep disorders or something? A burning sensation in your brain? Which damages of them were temporary, which permanent?

Can you specify? Were they all temporary? Do you still suffer from some of them?were they directly or indirectly?

Can you elaborate? What damage exactly?

After your kundalini awakening what state are you now in? Do you regret your kundalini awakening?

I had the realization that pickup ideology is similar to Hitlers ideology. the following shows that "ruthlessness" isn't just a political trait—it's a psychological system that can be rebuilt anywhere by anyone who understands how to weaponize "nature" against "humanity. With the help of Gemini here is the comparison: The reason why "Pickup Artists" (PUAs) would theoretically fit into the Nazi framework comes down to the structure of their thinking: 1. The "Predator" Mindset In both ideologies, the world is divided into predators and prey. The Nazi view: Nations and "races" must conquer or be conquered. The PUA view: Men must "target" and "game" women. Both reject the idea of a "win-win" scenario based on equality. They believe someone must always be "on top," and if you aren't the one dominating, you are the one being victimized. 2. The Suppression of Empathy A core part of PUA training is "outcome independence" and "detachment." You are taught to ignore the emotional signals of the other person to achieve your goal. This is exactly what Hitler meant by "overcoming the chimera of conscience." To be a "great" Nazi, you had to be able to look at suffering and feel nothing because you believed it was "natural." PUAs practice a smaller, social version of this by treating social interactions as cold, mechanical scripts. 3. The Rejection of Modernity and Equality Both groups share a deep hatred for liberalism and feminism. Hitler blamed feminism and the "softening" of men for Germany's decline. PUAs often blame "feminized society" for their lack of success and want to return to a "traditional" (often imagined) hierarchy where women have no choice but to submit to the "Alpha." 4. The "Secret Knowledge" (The Red Pill) Both ideologies rely on the idea that the "masses" are being lied to by a shadowy elite (for Hitler, it was the "Jewish press"; for PUAs, it’s "the Matrix" or "Mainstream Media"). They offer their followers a "Red Pill"—a secret truth that explains why their lives aren't perfect. This creates a bond of "us vs. them" and makes the followers feel superior to the "clueless" people around them. The Danger of the "Alpha" Myth The "Alpha/Beta" logic is the most direct link. When you start believing that humans have a "biological rank," it is a very short step from saying "I am a superior man" to saying "My group is a superior race." Scaling Women (Rating by Numbers) In the PUA (Pickup Artist) scene, women are often referred to as "HB" (Hot Babe) followed by a number from 1 to 10 (e.g., "I approached an HB9"). Dehumanization through Data: This serves a specific psychological purpose: it removes the woman's personality, history, and soul. She becomes a "target" with a value assigned to her. The Nazi Connection: The Nazis were obsessed with categorizing people into "grades" of value. They used health scores, "racial purity" certificates, and eventually, in the concentration camps, replaced human names with numbers tattooed on skin. Both systems use numbers to silence the conscience—it is easier to manipulate or hurt a "9" or a "number" than a person with a name. The Alpha/Beta Hierarchy (The "Führer" Principle) The PUA obsession with being an "Alpha" is almost a mirror image of the Nazi "Führerprinzip" (Leader Principle). The Alpha/Führer: In both ideologies, the "Alpha" is a man who stands above the law of the "weak." He is entitled to take what he wants because of his perceived biological superiority. The Betas/The Masses: PUAs view "Beta males" with contempt, seeing them as "providers" who are "genetically programmed" to be losers. Similarly, Hitler viewed the masses as a weak "feminine" element that needed to be dominated by a strong, masculine leader.

@Joshe yes this content is overall pretty low quality, outdated studies. The only thing it did right to mention that you get less critical and don't double check because of trust and laziness.

I wish peter ralston would only spend 10 dollars into a good microphone.

This content has some flaws. They show a study one year ago about coding. ONE YEAR. That's very old. Nowadays developers code with agents and studies show up to 20-50% improvement. You get a wrong picture from this docu. There is no improvement with data? Fine there are so many other ways to improve ai .they don't mention that even.

Leo have you tested out Claude code? It has the potential to recreate this website or forum. I am a software developer with experience in a lot of web applications. Claude can do that. Test it out and see .

Leo I am a software developer. AI is fully capable to create real software. Not by scratch there are many iterations. It still needs a developer for sure. Yes so far no software developer is replaced by AI in my company. But we don't hire new ones.

Is a good connection to god really worth all the sacrifices during normal day to day living?

It was not the best comparison to be honest. By the way top nazi leaders loved hunting in nature.

Leo, you speak perfectly. You give your best explanations. And still, they take it as a joke. Or even worse, they get triggered. You talk about survival and when it comes that you talk about truth etc which goes beyond survival they dont get it and switch to survival mode. Even though you explained it before. They cannot grasp that things exist outside of survival.

On my smartphone it has perfect size. Just a matter on my laptop screen.

@Leo GuraHere see how it looks on my laptop.
