I used to be sad about the lack of it here. But I've changed my mind about it. It's hard to convey humour in text and very easy to be misunderstood. One person's humour is another person's offence. Some humour can get misundertood as trolling, even if it isn't. What one person finds funny might be seen as childish by another. British humour is not American humour. And on and on. 

I inject a bit of humour from time to time, because I enjoy it, but I try and keep it to a minimum, and not get too upset if people don't pick up on it.

It's a culturally contaminated term (bunch of materialist philosophy tends to get smuggled into it), and it's a horrifyingly fertile breeding ground for relative-Absolute conflation. These two are also connected.

The flipside is that subjects like Solipsism, Free Will, Spiral Dynamics get discussed at all. Isn't it amazing that there's a bunch of people willing to talk about these niche abstract philosophical ideas on a public forum? Yes their definitions and usage get abused and misunderstood, I'm with you on that, but still.

The price of not having likes. It's probably still a good thing though. Just look at Reddit: there's always some dry one-liner that's the top comment. I hate that.

Speaking of humor: Was @Schizophonia banned? That guy was really funny imo.

@Ninja_pig20 grams of shrooms I saw an alien. Its an alien simulation. We are an alien pretending to be a human and wearing the body like a headset. Like in a VR headset game. The aliens are doing the whole thing. The body dosent have conciousness its like a robot. You are alien farming a personality.

That's different from what Leo keeps saying. He says that aliens inhabit our planet as distinct beings from humans. He also says the simulation hypothesis ridiculous. Yet you seem to think you agree with him.

I disagree with how powerful psychedelics are so easily suggested and shared and advised on this forum.

In the past there were some serious cases, suicidal people, some lost the ability to sleep for weeks, it was a mess, because they abused powerful substances like 5-Meo which Leo was promoting a lot. I feel this is why there are Shamans in nature who work with different medicines, master them, find the correct doses and approaches with people and guide them and live with them, not something we should share and try guide others online what they buy from the dark net, its extremely immature and risky.

This is one issue i always had with this forum and the over-use of, especially synthetics drugs without a guide and shaman or expert because we are working with extremely powerful stuff nowadays which are not found in nature in the concentrated amounts they are created in a lab today, missing the whole body and plant and guiding mechanism. Isolates are very dangerous because our body recognizes such artificial and synthetic substances as foreign objects and have not adapted to these things.

This is why you can die from synthetic selenium in a pill but eat 1kg of brazil nuts and nothing will happen.

Some people like Leo are fine and experts in these things, but most people can end up in a mental institute or worse.

 

@Yimpa No I haven't tried it, Ramasta seems to summarize it pretty well, understandably with his unique spin on it, but for me, to keep it simple, I'm generally trying to embody this: if you do not need to put it into your body, do not put it into your body. I posit that it is not necessary to put extracts from poisonous frogs into your body, nor salvia (I know salvia is probably not recommended here, but I'm mentioning it anyways, as an example of completely natural plant with potentially extremely serious consequences for mental wellbeing even at lower doses), even if some research claims that psychadelics have some positive effects under supervision, I doubt their validity

@Ninja_pigI agree with him that aliens are real. The aliens see that the human body is able to evolve the conciousness of the aliens. The human body is able to feel qualia that the alien bodies cannot.The human body is able to see conciousness (God).Aliens could also inhabit their own bodies to make sure the simulation dosent get fucked up. Like you are on an alien spaceship right now 'hacking' into the machine of the human to farm a personality, or experience things the alien cannot via its own body. Conciousness needs a body to be able to localize itself into a space.

Meta Forum disagreement about Forums

I disagree that this is a disagreement, as it added more nuance, so therefore I am disagreeing with myself ON THE FORUM!

Do I agree that I am disagreeing?

Ok, time for another break.

Me and him had a bunch of disagreements and uncomfortable interactions, and in hindsight they actually helped the both of us grow.

Good on him for taking a break from me
