You can also come to the conclusion that eating humans is okay haha. I joke, of course. Interestingly, I’ve never really believed in any deity because it never made any sense to me. Now I’m inclined to worship Gaia, the God we live in. I’m not religious, but worshipping our ecosystem just makes sense.

Free will is an interesting concept and I think the way it’s usually used is just wrong or misunderstandable. I don’t think there is a free will, but I get the sense there is some kind of will inside me and I have to find out what my inner self really wants, or better: needs. I think the freedom to pursue that inner will is what “free will” really means.

Ngl I’ve admired tiles in a community toilet on a Dutch camping lot before. A trip is a long and varied experience and just admiring pretty colors and movements and seeing stuff in things is definitely part of it

I get that. I don’t think I’ll ever go fully vegan but I’ve become much more conscious about what I eat. Much more lentils and good rice and dates and stuff like that. See what happens.

Did you also have the impression while tripping how obviously wrong, bad and really unhealthy heavily processed stuffed tasted? Or more like a philosophical experience?

It’s a great feeling

This is the way

I will hehe. But in all honesty. For me, a trip doesn’t feel like a drug but like a deep conversation with the core of your inner self and what it means to be you. And I don’t want to be dead, that’s for sure.

Interestingly, the looming threat of your own immortality is much easier to accept on psychedelics than in real life, I feel.

Great quote. Really feels like a journey that’s destined to end sometime in the near future.

Absolutely

Why not stop?

Care to elaborate?

My first lsd trip told me stop smoking. Another trip told me to stop smoking weed, too. My last trip told me to stop edibles.

Learning to meditate now. Breathing is what it’s really about, yo

You’re a good one and thank you but no

Sobriety

This true but also irrelevant to the point that technological supremacy doesn’t equal a guaranteed win.

Every place mostly populated by people is bound have a lot of idiots.

You’re not wrong. This is one of the ‘other things’ I mentioned. A shortage of natural resources is another. Winter, too.

But it is not a myth that Germany had many high quality, but incompatible weapons systems from different manufacturers (handguns and rifles) and that e.g. the tiger was impressive but unreliable.

The best example might be the Wunderwaffen they shot London with. Useless in the grand scheme of things, yet technologically impressive.

My point is that technological supremacy isn’t automatically going to secure the victory.

Keep in mind that the Nazis back in the day had sophisticated weaponry and a lot of high quality stuff, but they were beaten by cheap, mass produced, easy to use weapons and armor. Among other things - but the point still stands.

No option really does

thank you, but are you sure? It’s pretty shit except for a few cities.
