Fuck it. I hate it when this happens. I can't stop thinking about everything. It's so distracting and counter-productive to have to constantly analyze everything to the nth degree. WHY CAN'T I TURN MY BRAIN OFF?!

How do you guys do it? Seriously how do you just go about your lives without having to understand the "science" behind EVERY single little thing you see or do? How do you just go, "well I don't know everything, and I can't know everything, so might as well just give up, let it be a mystery"?

Downers my friend, that's how you slow it down and cut off the extraneous shit. Just have a few beers or a bottle of wine or something. Lay down your load and feel GABAergic mercy.

Otherwise, find something to point your mind at, you have to ease it into thinking about the things you can enjoy thinking about. Get into some loops, the well worn paths can be thought through with ease, more like a saunter than hiking the Himalayas. Also, you can do something, become absorbed in a task, read a book, smoke a pipe or cigar at your leisure, a cup of tea sitting in the the sun appreciating the local flora.

I loved to learn these QM concepts in physicochemistry. Especially those small mathematical tricks to elegantly solve horrendous integrals in less than a line were marvellous :D Too bad I tend to forget that stuff once not needing/using it for a few months. Will have to seriously refresh that over the next weeks to be of actual help for our forth-semesters =D

Haha thats so true! When working on an abstract on an electrocyclization reaction cascade for a course, I had a blast trying to visualize the mechanisms that knot the polyene into a tetracyclic compound while lying in the bed high as a kite. That was amazing! I believe a big part of my understanding of stereochemistry was formed during these hours :D

I recently watched that Woody Allen movie 'What's up, Tiger Lily' someone (applecore?) linked here. Totally hilarious stuff and such a unbelievably strange kind of humor, highly recommended :)

That's one of the many ways I envy you Scandinavian folks. At your latitude on this side of the Atlantic the winter is simply unbearable (-50, wind, etc.) on the Tundra (permafrost, no trees) and the summers still aren't all that hot (15, 20s when lucky). To be over there at your latitude you get the northern lights, light-all-night summers, a nice 4 seasons climate and vegetation to go with it.

Other than climate, scandinavian women.. I.. must.. go.. :)

The summers are warmer than 15-20°C here in Southern Finland (I live in the Southern tip), it's usually 20-25 but the previous two summers it has been mostly 25-35 in July. The relatively mild climate here in the South is influnced by the Baltic Sea and the Gulf stream. Also at my latitude there are very seldom northern lights, you have to go more far up North for that, above the Arctic Circle. And even though the sun does in summer set for a few hours where I live the nights are still not dark, it's like a trolllish dim light which is magical. The winters here can be very cold, but sometimes there are winters that are more like "English winters" with almost no snow, just rain and much fog. Normally autumn is the darkest season, because there is no snow. When there's snow it's much lighter because snow reflects light.

Often people here complain about the cold climate but the very big difference between the 4 seasons means there's lots of variation wich I like.

The women are a nice bonus alright :)

Edit: Last summer I visited Lofoten in Northern Norway and there definitely the sun does not set for a few months. These picture are taken at midnight:

And would you believe these pics are taken in Northern Norway? Most would think these beaches are in Thailand.

Wow these are awesome pictures. Beautiful landscapes :)
It's a funny coincidence, don't know where the idea came from initially, but since early february I contemplate on travelling into the north some day, be it Canada/Alaska, northern Scandinavia or a lonely island in the north of Great Britain. Thanks for the new input for that wishful ideation :)
 
LMA, those pics are insane! For a second I was like, "wait am I wearing 3D glasses?"


Also, good to know that I'm not the only dude with a sometimes-overactive intellect. :D

lol, I'm tempted to eat some more of my super weed coconut oil.... but its so goddamn strong that whenever I eat it, its like my whole mind becomes one long string of absurd non-sequiturs... I try to sleep and I'm having faint visions / fantasies of giant chickens walking along checking their pocket watches and saying shit like "fine day for a pig race, isn't it? good day, good sir!" and then a giant lizard makes and appalled face and goes "dear god!" and then it all disappears if I even try to think rationally for a second. Its just subtle enough to make me feel truly insane :D

But........ I think I'll eat a spoonful anyways. =D

LMAO.



I'm sittin' here enjoying lots pretty colors and patterns and flashy thingies. Music and 25I-NBOMe play very nicely together. :) This is a really cool chilled-out electronic music mix:

Basically sums up why I love being a Finn.
 
Hrmm...

It seems that, for every capacity that psychedelics have for joy and positivity, they have a proportionately equal capacity for grief and misery. I can't seem to get around this one. The very thing that makes the psychedelic experience so incredibly beautiful is also at times ruthlessly destroyed.

You could say the same of life itself. I suppose the reason I choose to continue using psychedelics in spite of all the pain, is the same reason I choose life over death.
 
^Joy isn't always good, pain isn't always bad. It all depends on what you do with what you're given.


Been eating grapefruit the past few days, does this have something to do with my wonderful mood and stuff? Or coincidence? Who knows.

And I don't think I've praised the virtues of yams yet, let me do so now, yams (and sweet potatoes) are great and you should eat them more.

^ Good point. Pain can be a valuable tool in guiding you away from harm, and excessive contentedness can retard progress.

I shouldn't really be averse to the right kind of pain. But, the way pain works, it automatically creates an aversion to itself. Hrmm...
 
that doesnt change the fact that there is a lot more "bad" kind of pain out there, senseless and disproportionate to its potential usefulness, and there is very little in the way of too much happiness, and it is often a fleeting feeling.
its not being content that threatens progress as much as resignation. but i guess there is a fine line between them...


NKB, your comment on yams reminded me of a museum visit of last month. i remember seeing the history and culture of a whole island somewhere in melanesia that centered around yams... awesome masks on them too.

Too human a perspective perhaps, in the face of eternity all the happiness and sufferings of any individuals will be like dust in the wind, though that's too dehumanizing. I find my favorite answer to both kinds of cynicism in this song: Yeah I've posted it before but whatevs~

Rice is overrated, just look at rice using cultures. Corn is pretty lame. And while our amber waves of grain are wondrously versatile, they've been genetically modified, hybridized, and bastardized to the point they're more corrupt than Chicago politics. Give a man a yam, and he can rest easy.

Have I posted this here yet? Eh, I'll risk it and just delete if I have, anyway it's quite a good one I think: (tagged to make post smaller, it is sfw)

too human a perspective? well, thats the only one i can give, or anyone can pretend to give. after all, anything we imagine can only be a human perspective no matter how abstract or detached i may seem.the very essence of meaning is something only human can understand, and only we can place value on it.

also, i believe corn is a lot more used/modified/genetically engineered than wheat is. theres basically a little bit of corn in every product we eat wether we know it (or expect it) or not.
 
Someone remind me in future that taking bupe less than a week after I last took it with no tolerance leads to massively cumulative effects (particularly side effects). My bowels really hate me now, even 6 days after my last dose.

Regarding pain with psychedelics, I've had my fair share of rough rides. I find most of those experiences were due to me being lazy with dealing with my problems, particularly my social anxiety at the time. You mentioned before that you have some anxiety TAC - is that what's coming up in the trips?

Personally I'd take another trip with whatever substance is causing problems (if one in particular), gather some ideas for approaches to deal with your anxiety - but until you've gone ahead and done them, stick to more easier going psychedelics, or you'll just be continually ass-kicked for not taking heed like I was ;)
 
^ Yeah, I guess it is my anxiety that is the root of painful trips for me. It seems like every time I trip these days, at first it's an anxious hell, and I spend a long time trying to find some way around the anxiety, thinking deeply about the nature of my anxiety, and finally lo and behold, I come to a solution which seems to work! And then the second half of the trip is beautiful, smooth psychedelia, and I'm so proud of myself for finally vanquishing my anxiety. But then the next time I trip, I somehow "forget" the solution, and the whole thing starts again. :| Weird.

Is there necessarily anything wrong with genetically modified crops? Do the genetically-engineered disease resistances & other positive properties (from the farmer's perspective) deteriorate the quality of the food that the wheat produces, from a health perspective?

Also, can you elaborate on the lameness of corn and the overratedness of rice?
 
In my case it was because it wasn't about applying the solution the next trip.. It was about applying it in day to day life, something I wasn't doing. E.g. get out and spend more time with people :)

I've got the same anxiety with DMT too which has meant that I've yet to achieve a breakthrough. I feel there are things that need to be dealt with first.
