2:40 For some of the greatest fusion guitar playing ever.

I meant it in a more derogatory way, not like he has a childlike energy or aura or anything. Juvenile is a better word. It's his agenda of trying to expose the guest, condescending communication style ("you really believe this and not this, don't you?"), tough guy persona and complete lack of good faith. It felt like I was watching a grade school bully.

That Joe dude is a literal child.

Inspired by Bulgarian folk music.

Yeah you basically said it.

The roommate who gave me it recently got another virus (the common cold), and that is really fucking with me. I can't tell based on my general condition if I'm about to get sick again or if I'm still affected by Covid.

and now we're over that hurdle, as mainstream academia is distributing "pro-LSD propaganda" in their public health university curriculum. It's a great time to be alive Tribes have also used tobacco and alcohol for shamanic purposes; not exactly the pinnacle of health. Survival is resilient. Evolution primarily operates on reproductive fitness, not health and longevity. If you can reproduce before you penis falls off, then that's completely OK from an evolutionary standpoint. I'm not dismissing the utility of ancient knowledge, nor am I buffing the utility of scientific knowledge by simply applying either model in a particular situation. I say "why not both?" Be critical of all knowledge, not just the one you don't like.

I wasn't talking about you is what I meant. Jesus calm your tits

We can't say for sure before we study these things more closely. Does it work as a general stressor where people with pre-existing conditions may become worse, or does it cause specific organ damage? Or is it completely innocuous? All this is speculation.

It was more about the general vibe I got from other users here.

It was largely his minions who did that, supposedly on their own accord.

Just a reminder that it's possible to criticize science without dismissing it outright.

Good to hear he is better, and I know. I said they worsened at some point, to the point he thought he was going to die.

I want to be free from suffering, but I fear it too much ?

Saying "Russia is a thug" without clarifying what you mean is not much of an argument.

Intrinsic health.

That's ridiculous.

Scientific literature?

@Wildcattt555 I don't see what that has to do with physical damage or addiction. Yes, it can serve as a stressor for mental illness, just like many things.

I agree. I just place it a bit higher than personal anecdotes. ?

Define chronic use of psychedelics. You're conflating the accuracy of scientific literature and prescription practices. It's not a mystery that you can prescribe medicines that have side effects. You have to weigh the pros and the cons.

I read in an academic book about public health (latest edition from 2021) that LSD is neither physically damaging nor addictive, only that it might produce terrifying experiences. However, I'm not sure if that applies to 5-MeO-DMT. It has a much beefier pharmacological profile. I think these are valid concerns. Martin Ball (5-MeO master) lately worsened his pre-existing sleep problems to dangerous levels.

I can personally confirm this having experienced DP/DR on separate occasions (both drug-induced and sober) and sober awakenings.

I think "rigid" is a bit too loaded. It's just careful. It doesn't seem like something that needs to be explained, but rather something that needs to be tested empirically, and it doesn't exactly help to point to MBTI in this regard considering how it's the least empirically sound model . Tbh, I think what MBTI is doing is explaining away their low construct validity

The desire to typologize personality is not very scientific (which is the critique of things like MBTI). Personality traits tend to follow a normal distribution in the population (one bell-shaped curve in the middle of the distribution), which is why trait models (like Big 5) are more scientific, i.e. you can score low or high on a trait (e.g. dominance), but you're really never a "dominant type" (e.g. Alpha) or "submissive type" (e.g. Beta). If the traits instead followed a bimodal distribution (one peak on each extreme), then there is a better case for a typology (one such example would be biological sex).
