I saw a report the other day...that kinda confirmed my thoughts on what our society has slowly been turning into over the years..

We're really turning into a society of adrenaline junkies...and drugs aren't solely to blame. The report showed how more older people are getting hooked on drugs like adderall.

We're a society living off of 'alerts' 24/7...text messages, facebook updates, you name it. We need stuff to keep our brains at optimal levels (adderall....or other) and then need stuff to make us sleep whenever we want to. (ambien) We want everything to be on or off at our choosing.

Even big news stories only stay big for a few days...before people get bored and don't care anymore. (ADHD epidemic?)

We've been so raised by computer lifestyles the last 20 years or so, that in a way we want our brains to run the same way. (overclocking our CPU's?)

thoughts ?
 
It's true. I think it also partly has to do with the job economy these days. So many people are working the night shifts now, be it jobs or school. People are staying up late and waking up late and then needing pills to regulate themselves during the days and nights.

I know that's how it is for me at least. I go to sleep at 4am each night and wake up at 3pm each day and need ritalin and klonopin to help regulate my days as well as help with anxiety and ADHD.
 
true^

forgot to mention how much coffee / tea/ energy drinks I need a day too. It just seems to get more demanding the older I get.
 
Yes, & the future will only get crazier.......faster computer chips, etc......most people are wired into the world just by their cell phone.

If you told me in 1995, that I would be able to watch movies, surf the net & video phone in 10 to 20 years on my cell, I would have said you're crazy.

I tried 5 hour energy for a dew months back in 2008, & a few energy drinks, but that sh*t is no good for your health.

Its been 20 years since I drank coffee, & 7 years for energy drinks. Don't need them, I have my own pace.......use downers for back pain & some mental pleasure & that's where it stops.

We as a society get very bored & need to be entertained every second that we're awoke, & its gonna get worse for the next generation.
 
^you're sounding old now ;)

But yes me too!! Remember when mobile phones were brick sized, then the competition was on to make them smaller & smaller? Now they're getting bigger due to market demand. We want a screen big enough for YouTube & Netflix.

I do everything from my phone. Mirror, camera, reminders, emails, google, duh bluelight .. It's actually never really outta my reach.

Perhaps a timely reminder that I can actually spend some time just being each day, than constantly doing hmm kids?!?

Stuff like uppers (Dexedrine, meth tablets) and downers (Valium, Seconal, Quaaludes etc) have been around forever, it hardly seems like a new trend.

I think they're saying the younger crowd is dipping into dex & benzos at a much younger age now a days, which I agree.......

Digital technology prepares you for the afterlife, a place of pure energy, no matter, where anything you can think of becomes real, and you can take on any form you wish.

The world is moving towards living in an artifical simulation because this planet itself is an artificial simulation of matter that generates new souls, a kindergarten if you will. But everybody secretely wants to live in a different world, hence why so many escape it, and what they do not realize, is they are
 
my job is website / computer related....yet i've never tried an adderall. feel like i'm missin out :( maybe I can bug my family doc, that I think I have adhd....then again, i hear people can get it just for anxiety.

startin to worry the coffee / energy drink thing is something serious within me. adrenal collapse maybe...I literally need many cups of coffee / tea / energy drinks a day.
 
PsychedlicWizard: man, I think you need to lay off your namesake. After your thread in N&P I'm pretty sure you've gone off the deep end LOL.

maybe he was, but he was about 70% truthful.

with the way the world is 'living' in technology lately...somewhat of a point there.

If you look into all the chemicals / matter in outer space / our solar system...you'll notice that the human body is composed of all these chemicals / minerals / etc.

many here could probably sympathize with that.
 
Why do so many use drugs to escape reality?

We try yo compare ourselves to characters in movies, created by IMO, our down fall in society which is TV.

We sit in front of a TV since we are babies watching shows & movies that influence our brains in positive but mostly negative ways.

By the time we're teenagers, we've been programmed to think certain ways thanks to TV programs we've been watching growing up......

TV was pur babysitter growing up & it still brings us comfort as adults like a drug that's needed to get pur fix.

Getting back to the teenage years, especially the teens growing up from 2000 & layer have the internet as well to influence their behaviours.

In the end, technology will destroy human beings, although there ate many that think it will save us......I beg to differ.

It seems the more technological we get as the years go by, the more unstable our society gets......we are wired & in hyper mode. We've been programmed to feel.this way by all the BS programs that ate being thrown at us daily on the internet & mass media.

So the crazier this world gets, theore escape we want, we want to stabilize our minds just to feel a bit at peace, hence the downers......& when its time to go all out, its uppers time.
 
LostBoys, I feel for the younger generation these days. Their parents think that by giving them a computer / video games and all that...will keep them happy and spoiled at home all the time. But in the end, only brings on eventual rebellion it seems. Parents are wayy overprotective these days. giving their kids everything....just makes their kids want more and more.

The movie thing is an interesting concept. I find my brain being most euphoric when watching strange documentaries it seems.

another good point, I feel the same. It's almost like we're outsmarting our own selves....and don't know the solution. Everybody acts like their an expert on everything these days....or their the Dr. Phil therapist type. Also, everybody creeps everybody... nobody trusts anybody.. The internet has brought on a wave of distrust.

We are living in the matrix. Your body is like a robot and your brain is a computer, it is your soul that is stuck inside it as the programmer and operator.

Likewise when we use a computer we are entering a new reality. We love computers and cars because they represent to our body and mind what the soul gets from being inside us.
