Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread

[Husseinisdoingfine]

I really liked the new blog post about South Korea. I found this cool documentary on South Korea's educational system, definitely worth your time.

I think this documentary is worthy to go on the blog. Not just to comment on Korean society, but on the factory-farm nature of education in general.

I did salvia in college a couple times with friends.

It was definitely strange, but nothing traumatic or scary about it. Just some college kids getting high and laughing about it.

I'm guessing our doses were relatively low. We smoked it, but I was never good at holding an inhale of smoke that long anyway.

Mad honey is a neurotoxin. I know this was probably a joke but yeah.

No joke! Every time I used mad honey was in a cup of tea nearby the comedown of lsd trip. My experience is it prolonged the trip and gave me a sort of delerious experience. It also works as a powerful laxative/purification agent, since I always be shitting my guts out off the mad honey.

Salvia was actually my first psychedelic. 

When I was 15.
It used to be legal in the headshops at the time.

I definitely think experimenting put me on a different wave length relative to my peers, since I’d experienced something so radically different than most people around me.

While I was listening the  trip report of salvia, of a guy who became a ceiling fan I felt like I was being watched, I looked to a chair in my room and said: Ahhhh you fucker!!! You are spying on me dont you??

What if every inanimate object you ever interacted with is someone else on Salvia?

@Leo Gura I like your blog post about South Korea. I know it's not your first one, I believe you've made a different post about South Korea's stage orange capitalist problem before.

But I would also like to point out the irony in endorsing one of Youtuber Moon's videos to make this message. Moon's channel itself has been criticized for being soulles, clickbatey, and sometimes even plagiarized. Information from this channel should be taken with a grain of salt because it's a channel that prioritizes maximizing viewership over everything else.

South Korea is everything wrong with Society?
Moon is everyting wrong with YouTube. 

 

Just take a look at the other videos surrounding their South Korea video and you tell me if they aren't clickbaiting people with the most negative words possible.

(I mean, yeah, I agree Megaprojects are from Hell and can go fuck themselves, but still. . . .)

It was a good video and stands on its own even if it was made by Satan himself.

@Leo Gura regarding the protein powders, do you think the same applies to creatine specifically? Would you also stay away from it?

I've noticed you tend to throw around a lot of biblical imagery of good/bad/righteous/wrong. So, does your term 'Satan' just refer to a degree of unconsciousness, a psychological shadow in the inherent 'duality' of human nature?

Existentially, some refer to 'Satan' as representing the struggle against authority and its unjust, imposed morality, while embracing one's own nature in the quest for autonomy. The church did a good job of repainting that one as it established itself as the judge and jury of Truth, just as psychologists did a good job of repainting the ego into the boogeyman.... when it's mostly, just simply, a matter of becoming more conscious.

Pure chemicals should be safe.

The problem is when food-stuffs are reduced to powders.

Okie dokie.

Hopefully you're followers understand the meaning of your poetry, which is why I asked.

Regaded to salvia and also to how kids live in fantasy, I saw yesterday a video on social media of a boy talking with a flower as it as a person. The boy have a coffee or decaf coffee with him and he is saying to the flower: Well, i just drink decaf you know.. and he keep talking as it was a person. Imagination is all

Imagine trying to say these things to people in like 2018, and being gaslit by everyone into doubting your ability to sense where the puck is going.
