I never said I was a pure Lakatosian ;). I just noticed the similarities of your ideas and Lakatosian research programmes. Of course the hard cores are ultimately false. Science becomes merely a pragmatic endevour for post-Kuhnians, and Lakatos takes a mid-position between that and rationalism. Feyerabend (post-Kuhnian) likewise criticized him for his attachment to rationalism. He is a better example of the Tier 2 values of relativity and holism.

Smoking weed on a microdose will throw you into a full-blown psychedelic trip.

Why are you constantly posting negative posts?

Is this an example of the dynamics of Lakatos' methodology of scientific research programme (MSRP) or am I missing any nuances?

It depends how big your microdose is. I've microdosed and had dinner with my mom and my brother at the 8hr mark many times without any problems. One time I almost had a panic attack though because I got paranoid about whether or not my pupils were visibly enlarged, but it was a rather large dose and I had smoked weed aswell (not recommended). Take a hike in the forest or sit on a park bench or something.

Children are small and fragile. How do you deal with them?

The idea that "I" should be avoided is a thought.

This is an unrealistic goal. Let your thoughts be.

Don't overthink it.

Not true.

I'll take authenticity over fakeness every time. Go listen to some ASMR.

Don't let SD discourage you from expressing yourself.

How do you know?

What you can do is practicing letting go. Everytime the thought "this is bad" or "this is not good" or any sort of judgement arises, just remind yourself that this is infact just a thought. This creates some space in your mind. When this awareness is present, you have the choice to just let the thoughts come and go without giving it the same emotional weight. You might still feel emotions around the thought, but this too is subject to the same principles of letting go. By doing this, you're not blocking your ability to ever have these thoughts, but your mind becomes less sticky and more flexible: one thought won't suddenly lead to 10 or 100 thoughts.

You get what you don't want. Fear-based thoughts are repetitive because they feed on attachments ("should"s). To make them disappear, accept the fear. Give up your need to think happy thoughts and they will come to you.

Wanting to escape suffering isn't just one thing. It takes many forms. Essentially it informs all your actions to a certain extent. If you want Truth more than anything else in the world, that is a good source of positive motivation. Escaping suffering can be viewed as negative motivation. In reality, both are intertwined. You might want Truth to escape suffering or you might want Truth despite suffering for it. Depends how you define your terms.

Narcisissm *check*

The recipe is paranoia and narcisissm.

@Keyhole What the fuck man

That's a strawman- I mean a weedman. Apples and oranges. All kids play video games. Get with the times.

I live for the day when this gets its own little spot in the philosophy 101 books that all the college freshmen have to force themselves to read . Imagine the level of mindfuck and frustration from having to read that when most people even struggle with stuff like Karl Popper lol

What an incredibly simplistic way of looking at it. Yeah let's just ignore the fact that all his friends are also playing that game. Young people can't just pick and choose which culture they grow up in. Do you know the type of social isolation that happens when you don't participate in the same activities as your peers?

McCain truly respected Obama more than probably anybody else. There is a reason he wanted him to read his eulogy.
