Thus concludes Soli's daily philosophy lesson ;)

Thanks for that, Soli.

When you made the comparison with "an artist who creates in order to give life to some bold and original aesthetic vision," the first one who came to mind was the poet Charles Olson:

What I really love is listening to him read while following along with the text -- it's like listening to a classical piece while scanning the sheet music, to see how the performer interprets certain details.

Done geeking out now.

=D

I just keep trying to use the wrong one these days, some sort of brain freeze or such.

Hmm, then or than- you've stumped me there? What is the difference?

Then is used when talking about time (I did this, then I did that) and than is used when making comparisons (I'd rather take a tryp than a phen). Some folks just universally apply the word then, forgetting the existence of than altogether.



Solistus, I believe you misused effected. Effected means "brought about, or produced" while affected means "acted upon, or influenced".

The 18th amendment effected a total prohibition on the sale of alcohol in the United States.

The 18th amendment affected drinking habits in the United States, it led to the consumption of higher proof liquor on average.
 
Never: oops, got sloppy with active versus passive verb tenses. Silly me - the whole point of effect in Nietzsche's affect/effect is that it's not an active verb, but a passive description of something else's activity. Fixed, I think, good catch.

Effected as an active verb is just a weird anachronism of English, I think. "To effect change" basically means "to affect something in a way that produces change." I got it jumbled with my initial 'lesson' (aren't you the teacher's pet, correcting the prof's notes ; ) but in the Nietzschean sense, we're talking about affect the verb versus effect the noun - the main point being that affecting is an active process whereas identifying effects necessarily means you're ceding the role of 'active force' to whatever caused that effect. Wow, the more I correct my initial mistake the more other, better ways I think of to explain what I was initially saying - "effect" as part of the pair "cause and effect" is especially relevant here. You should go out and cause things to happen actively, not wait for other forces to cause things and then respond reactively to their effects. Thanks for giving me another excuse to ramble about Nietzsche ;)

Was jammin' to my Tool-and-other-Maynard-projects playlist on the way home from grabbing dinner and couldn't help but think of you, mkat:

EMP from the mother and son
Tore the digital down.
Dawn of the age of the innocent ones,
The indigo children...

Eww @ determinism. It offers no explanation of consciousness. Also, quantum theory kind of blows some holes in its empirical foundations, since the physical world isn't deterministic ;)

Nietzsche and Sartre were both important in their own way. As a spoiled student of more modern continental thought, though, I have little use for either of them directly anymore; their good ideas have been built upon considerably since their deaths, and their bad ideas identified and discarded. I would have liked Nietzsche a lot better if he could have kept a handle on his syphilitic brain long enough to write more actual analytic philosophy and less proto-postmodern poetry with nuggets of philosophy scattered throughout. His literary streak also caused him to embrace some ideas because he liked them on some poetic level even though they didn't make much sense in terms of his analytic philosophy. Amor fati springs to mind; the general concept is appealing and has linkages to the rest of Nietzsche's thought but his actual writings on the idea of eternal return are wildly inconsistent with each other and most of the rest of his work.
 
2C-D burps taste like chemical sprite lol

trying out a slightly higher dose this time, 77 mg. planning to maybe mix in some methylone, but not sure yet...read a few reports of 2C-B and 2C-E in combination with methylone, but nothing with 2C-D. I'm wondering if since 2C-D is supposed to go so well with amphetamine in combination, that maybe methylone might have some similar ability to combine. I guess we'll see soon maybe...

Hmm, I find myself really puzzling over the uses of "your" and "you're" of late....
Click to expand...

Well, you're is a contraction... when you see it, literally think "you are" because that's what it is/means. Your on the other hand is the possessive form of you. Like "That's your CD". Conversely, "You're an awesome dude, willow!" :)
 
Man, so today I was just starting to eel a bit down for some reason and I went out for an errand and actually went into the grocery store looking to buy poppy seeds, and they were completely sold out. Looks like other people have started using the store as their opiate gathering grounds since I stopped. And a good thing, because it would have been a mistake for sure. :)

Instead I picked up an inhaler with 250mg of propylhexedrine in it, on a whim, and extracted it into water, and took about 75-85mg over the night. I had the best experience with it so far... v ery nice, full of love and a great body high. I was getting really emotional and talking with my wife about love and being excited about children and our cats and stuff like that... it was actually more opening than my last few MDMA experiences. Crazy.

WAIT... 'doh! I totally forgot that this morning I chewed and sublingually absorbed 7 HBWR seeds. They actually had a pretty light effect but I bet the interaction had something to do with the magnitude of love. I'm still feeling very nice. :)
 
I received my first final grade of the semester today, in Quantitative Analysis:

100%

:)

All of my analytical determinations were spot on.

Y'all better watch out: I could test your pee pee for dr00gz and be accurate within 0.001ppm :D

It's soooo nice to get that class out of the way, now I have the rest of the semester to smoke moar pot and concentrate on my other classes.

Feels good, man.

ah those little inhaler things. they are like over the counter amph
Click to expand...

Except a lot of the times I've done it it's felt toxic and shitty. But a efw times, like this, it's been very full of love, much calmer and more emotional than amps. Most similar to d-amp but different.
 
hey PD folk

sticking my head out from under the 2C-Delicious feeling of being wrapped in all these types of blankets at once...was thinking about trying some methylone with this, but right now I'm just to preoccupied with feeling good to try to feel any better at the moment lol

listening to kate bush - hounds of love

crazy album!

i watched this crescent half shape light keep forming behind me as i layed in bed before, like up on the ceiling almost...and the light reminded me of a couple times when i saw a spider spin so fast on its web that it made psychedelic light appear right before me, almost like a molten glob of something the spider was emitting...well i saw that a few times before while tripping and watching spiders up close, and well eventually i started seeing this crescent shaped light up on the ceiling sort of, and it would sort of come and go, but it kept me thinking about the times i saw spiders make psychedelic light, and then i am listening to kate bush some more and there is some's this really psychedelic part of thr album playing and i am watching this spot on the ceiling move...and this always happens, i watch time and space fold around dots on the ceiling all the time, sober and not, but this dot kept moving and what do you know right where the crescent shaped light had been, there were two spiders almost directly over me, but like behind me...just where I was seeing the crescent light. Weird! Spider Light!
 
Huh, random muscles on my body are having these little spasm things. This shall not convince me to take any more o-desmethyltramadol. I think I'm gonna swear off the opies for good, as crappy as things are now, I think I'd rather put up with that than have my addiction spiral out of control and ruin me down the road.

And solistus, do you have anything that presents a reasonable argument for the existence of free will? I haven't really seen any, the whole concept just doesn't seem to make sense to me anymore.
 
^Aye, 2C-D is a lovely gentle psychedelic. Am tempted to now consume some. But won't; mild benzo w/d and psychedelics is sometimes okay, but generally pretty gruesome.

How much you take Catfish, and by what method? :) <3
