I feel like when I do math, I'm thinking more similarly to how the universe thinks than when I think using words (I feel exactly the same way about music, btw-- which I regard as both a creative and mathematical pursuit).
Math is basically a way of making logical deductions so complex and long that the bandwidth of the information totally exceeds the capacity of our short-term memory. So we dump the information onto a piece of paper.
I actually really love math as well. I'm taking advanced math classes that aren't even required for my major, just because I like stimulating that part of my noggin.
One time, when I was on a long train ride at the age of 17, before I knew what differential equations were, I stumbled upon the idea myself, grabbed some paper and a pencil, and attempted to re-invent DE. I had my own little notation and everything -- it was called "expanded calculus", lol -- and I actually got surprisingly far. I developed a system for creating a function that "grows" by a certain fraction of itself over the interval [x, x+dx], instead of just incrementing.
I even made a function that, when differentiated twice, gave the expression for variable acceleration due to gravity -- it was designed to be a "position" function for a celestial body being tugged on by gravitational force. BUT, when you tried to solve for initial velocity, initial position would cancel out -- and when you tried to solve for initial position, velocity would cancel out! So you couldn't specify one of the two. (Turns out you can't do that without infinite series...)
Valerian has a pretty high percentage of GABA, which in my experience has a parmesean cheese-like overtone to it. Funny because L-glutamine is sweet smelling and crystalline in comparison. The difference between batches notwithstanding of course... Fuckin' chemistry, how does that shit work?
I was reading the other day about smell perception. Apparently we only have a handful of smell receptor subtypes, and distinct smells are created by activating various
combinations of smell receptors. So, little GABA molecules and cheese particles happen to like a really similar combination of receptor types, I guess!
I'm thinking I'm gonna have to man up and do a DMT extraction.
I wanna eat some with maoi and get ass raped by DMT :D
Oh, HELL yes. If you really knew what you were in for, I don't think you would have any hesitation. :D
I really hope I like LSD as much as you guys do.
Just remember, something like LSD or DMT can be totally disappointing the first five times you take it. Then, suddenly, the key fits the lock, and the door opens, and... and... you'll see.
%)
, just got my eldest boy from his mums and gonna watch " The Hole" later..hope its not to scary lol
