I know exactly what you are talking about and its so ridiculous. This kid that sat next to me in chemistry last year was a drinker, but I prefferred shrooms, and he would tell em how bad it is. When I tried to tell him shrooms arent toxic or bad for you at all he burst into these laughing fits like I was stupid. Then he wouldnt even acknowledge alcohol is a drug. Its ridiculous, many people jsut dont understand, they think just because its legal, it is safe. Its just plain ridiculous. Fuck the war on drugs.
Word.
I thought I was gonna say something like "TV is a damn good drug, cos no one seems to realize its effects," but instead, I'll just say another thing.
Concensus is really all that matters. When it comes down to it, all you've really got a priori is that you sense things, everything else is just a belief. Most people today are so significantly marginalized in their ability to think freely because of our tendency to absolutize the culture, that people like this guy you were mentioning can't really even be said to be responsible for the way they view the world. They're just sheeple.
Fuck, I couldn't even have the perspectives I have on any topic if someone hadn't explained it to me and then we came to an agreement on it. It's like, people complain on this board alot about the evils of alcohol. Yes, statistically, it causes more shit, but that could be just because so many more people drink than take other drugs.
Look, here's the thing, I just feel like all these types of discussions are meaningless. They all point to general problems with society, and how we are misled . . . boo fucking hoo. We will never get any better at this until we realize that the lack of agreement on a common purpose for the species is the root of all problems. So, even deeper than that, we see that the problem is that we have no defined purpose. Maybe what you're here for is to realize that sometimes you should think outside the immediate situation to get a fuller grasp of "reality."
It's like, that question "why are we here?" Fuck, what if the reason why we're here is to realize that that question doesn't fucking matter!? Haha, I'm starting to sound more and more like an anarchist every day, and I used to think those guys were lazy, just like the athiests
Hey guys, I'm enlightened, it's my magic bandaid for every problem! I don't even need to be involved in the real world, because I'm so fucking smart that I know everything.
Look, I'm not serious about some of this stuff, the last paragraph included. It's just a perspective on some shit that someone might benefit from. I've never found it bad to hear more different sides of stuff, but I can't guide you through the process. I just know that when you're ready, the teachers will present themselves (that is not me, muhfucka!)
