Ya, I have to admit I'm really not too intersted in tripping these days. Stimulants play a factor in that as well. Psychedelics not always had stimulation and euphoria; whereas a stimulant is a sure thing that a good set/setting isn't needed for. Stimulants still have that energetic mood lift but you retain your mental functions and are able to interact with the world and have fun doing things socially, get work done. Stimulants just don't produce states of ecstasy

Well the thing is that for me at this point my absolute favorite drug for social interaction is DOC, which also improves mental functioning in a similar way as d-amp except with a very relaxed and grounded yet euphoric and inspired energy which never leaves me feeling drained.

Well, everyone's got their drug of choice. I guess I'm just glad mine is psychedelics. :)

I tried to replace amp with piracetam one day. I 'm pretty sure piracetam is a placebo (when used on it's own) beside for the wonderful psychedelic interactions.

You know, piracetam is very subtle, but you need to really get yourself to baseline and take it when you're going to be doing some mental work. I experience very clearly and reliably a significant increase in the ability to mentally multitask and hold all of that information, and thinking through things feels really easy and fluid. It's not something where you really feel a change in the way you're experiencing things or where you get any type of buzz at all. It's more like when you go to use your mind and test your capabilities, you find you're able to do more, more easily. It can also bust me out of a day where I feel sort of mentally drained and where I'm not thinking of much or feeling inspired or anything. A blah day basically. If I take it, being experienced with its effects (it took me a good few tries to start to learn to notice and work with the effects), I can give my mind a little lubrication and get some concepts flowing. :)

I've come to another realization on anthropogenic pollution; depedning on how you want to view it, this may just be the way it goes. There's also the fact that there have been parts og geologic time that the earth's atmosphere was filled with CO2 and noxious gasses from strong volcanic activity.

How much does it matter how little comes from us when you look at what volcanoes have been doing for eons? Is our pollution just another natural phase in the state of the earth?

Sometimes I think about this too... we're part of the Earth. Other animals affect the Earth too, just not as drastically as we do. But who's to say that what we're producing isn't part of the plot when looking back on it in the future? Maybe this is the downswing that leads to the soon-to-come upswing.

To some extent, everything is the natural state of the earth. Because we are natural.

Weather is complicated, because we only have data going back a few hundred years... and interestingly enough, throughout history (you know, not counting the whole earth just got formed heat wave ;)), the temperature of earth has fluctuated quite a bit.

The formation of oxygen in the atmosphere caused a mass extinction of anaerobes except for in oxygen-deprived "extreme" environments. Ex, deep sea vents.
 
Makes you really realize how ant-like we are on this planet. Any number of things occurring on a global or super-global (like space objects hitting the planet) scale could eradicate us completely. Earth has a long history of events like that causing mass extinctions. Hell, the magnetic field has reversed many times, and I'd hate to think of what would happen if we were ever exposed to a much larger percentage of the sun's radiation. It just makes me feel good though. We're all some little part of a vast cosmic plan, and all we need to do is be ourselves and live our lives and we're doing our part. :)
 
Cool thing to see would a beam of gamma radiation from a nearby supernova. It's another one of the "space hits" type thing.

When a star supernovas, two intesnely strong beams of gamma energy get ejected from the poles. If a beam hits earth, we'll have massive and beautiful auroris all over the atmosphere but ozone will be stripped and everything on earth will get pelted with gamma radiation.

mmm, cosy warm cosmic energy :)
 
Supernovas are the source of all elements past iron! Iron is the last element that can be fused in stars to create energy, after that, fusion is an energy loss. So, supernova energy makes 'em.

"Hell, the magnetic field has reversed many times"

True! I learned about it quite a bit recently (in oceanography.. wth?). Interestingly enough, the crystals of magnetic rock from volcanoes line up with the earth's magnetic pole... so, we can take samples from about the earth from the same time period, and shift the continents accordingly. Since the pole moves about. Pretty quickly, actually, saw a video about the past little bit of time, great stuff.
 
Yeah, magnetic north and south have shifted quite a lot even in the past hundred years. I watched something about the crystals in the volcanic rocks aligning with magnetic north, I loved watching that. :)

Well, I need to sleep. Nice to talk to you all. I hope you all have awesome days tomorrow. <3
 
'Night Xork :)

We're learning the exact same things in oceanography. :)

I'm off to bed too. Goodnight PD <3
 
Yeah.. I have yet to learn anything about ocean creatures in oceanography...

which is fine, but it's in the biology department, and I'm taking it for that purpose... so... yeah...

likewise. tired as hell, was just trying to get some studying done.... zzz...
 
phew just got back from a lovely morning run through the woods, such a beautiful day today.

Found some really nice looking amanita muscaria while messing around in the undergrowth aswell. I saw one at first and then they all seem to pop up out of nowhere!

Have a good day Pd'ers :)

he sure did have it close though.
I dpnt even know what a quadratic equation is.

I feel the plot is being written as it goes.

If other animals could build shelter and protect against predators im sure they would too. Or trade a couple metal coins for dinner instead of wondering whether they were going to catch any that night.
I see the progress that that humans have made as completely natural.

I dont believe in outside forces manipulating the state of our being right now. The only other answer i can think of is we got here through the natural order of things.

My cuurent munchies snack: Pretzel thins, water, cream cheese, and spicey beef jerky.

Lolwut?
Click to expand...
i love beef jerkey. It doesnt matter what size pack i get, i wonbt put it down till its done.
my favorite is peppered though:)

my evening munchies were...
a meal. :\
im trying to eat healthier. It was mushroom stuffed chicken breast and sweet potatoe fries.

and now that i just finished my morning bowl its time for a bagel with :\cream cheese (with cucumber, lettuce, tomatoe and garlic powder, salt and pepper)
and a fruit smoothie

i love taking hikes through the wooded areas around here, i see amanitas often. And on my walk to work i pass a little patch of morning glories.

i wonder what pother psychedelic plants i pass without even realizing it.

when im able to i think im going to take some botany and local flora classes at the community college here.
 
Good Morning PD, Hope everyone's doing well, I'm feeling much better myself after resting.

Yes-- not very hospitable years though, methinks. :D

IMHO, the most imminently important task for the future of the human species is to find a cheap way to make polycarbonate from CO2.

We need to find a way to degrade CO2 to carbonate, and then radically polymerize it, without expending much energy in the process.

That way we can just suck up the excess CO2 in the atmosphere and make all the stuff we need out of it.

Polycarbonate is unique among thermoplastics in that it can be molded and permanently cast at room temperature, unlike most other plastic materials, and its nearly impervious to damage (they make safety glasses and Nalgene water bottles out of it, etc).

I really, honestly believe that the solution to a large chunk of earth's environmental problems lies in cracking this riddle.

Just my opinion, though. :)

I was just looking through a messy drawer for some paper-clips and found an old bag of weed with about a gram of dank in it. :D

...And I just ran out of weed like an hour ago..

HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
