Huh
I keep getting the Oops message when I try to post a link. Probably my cheap ass computer.
There was an article in Forbes called "You Must Not Do Your Own Research When It Comes To Science"
and another in NY Times called "Don't Go Down The Rabbit Hole" about critical thinking not helping the fight against misinformation...
They are trying to get us to stop thinking!

On the other hand, there have been certain psychedelic experiences that have really reminded me of how freeing the disidentification of the self and the mind can be. Here you are, a unit of awareness, thrust into a random life that you did not choose, to a destiny you do not control. Armed with that knowledge, it's possible to summon an extraordinary amount of self-belief, and really extinguish a lot of self-doubt, because you know that whatever choice you make - it was the only choice you were ever going to make, so why not just trust yourself, accept whatever the outcome, and continue to experience life, and feel your choices, relishing in the magic sensation of enacting your will in the world through the instruments of your mind and your body. In this instance - in fact, free will is not really an illusion - free will is an expression of causality, of the flow of the universe, of events set in motion since the beginning of eternity, as far as such a concept makes sense - and as such, that is what you are. It's also not all you are, it's just all that you can experience, incarnate as you are in your biological body, in this temporary life and all it's wonder.

But, those insights are hard to hold onto, and it's easy to forget, to start identifying with the chatter of the mind again, intrusions into consciousness that you did not will and do not control and yet, somehow start to believe, feel some responsibility for, and again, identify with, even though you are not your thoughts, and you are not your emotions. I believe that psychedelic trips could go the other way, and this disidentification, exposure of the illusory nature of the self, could manifest as a feeling of being trapped in a life in which you have no agency.

Well said. I can strongly relate to the experience of melding with the flow of time that you describe. I suspect it's impossible to hang onto that perspective for too long because it's basically a dissociative fantasy, and once subjected to enough rational inquiry it falls apart. You're not a ghost, floating outside of space and time. You are indeed a corporeal organism, and influence reality according to your will.

However, the fact that temporarily losing your sense of self can feel genuinely liberating and therapeutic is quite fascinating. I suppose there's a good reason that dissociation is such a common response to trauma: in some cases it is a worthwhile compromise to make.

Linux man :) I swear my productivity has increased two fold, so fast, so slick, so organized, got everything customized to my liking. I will never go back, and I'm only rocking a very standard Ubuntu.

I don't know if I can say that Linux has necessarily increased my productivity, but it sure is a blast to tinker with, and it's pretty astounding how reliable open-source software has become. Arch Linux, a bleeding-edge rolling-release distro, has been vastly more stable for me than Windows 10.

Though if you truly want really good psy sounds these days you have to go through the russian scene.

Hell yeah. Psykovsky's latest album, Zagadala Vnov, is I think my new all-time favorite psytrance release:

Russia and moscow man there psyscene pops off so hard. Truly epic stuff.
 
actually fuck trying to get a Ritalin script the depression when it wears off is not nice.

Man it was fucked tripping total balls without even taking acid last night on the phone with my tripping mate. I was seeing some insane pure LSD visuals next level crazy stuff.

Tonight is going to a be long night of grinding. Starting to feel the reality of chemistry but ima not smoke for a while I feel totally dumbed down from weed but I love it.

the urge to escape and do drugs is strong.

have to stay strong and resilient. doubt ill be able to get A's.

I left a pretty good impression on this girl. Always important to have a clean toilet that's like the number one thing females like when coming over.

Things are going to be moving slowly though.

Gonna go holi festival coming up never acutally been to one i hope that paints get out of my skin and hair though lol
 
I was at the door and my girlfriend said she handed me a joint but there was no joint, the ketamine created the joint and the ketamine took away the joint.

So we rolled a joint then it vanished but shes certain rolled one.

Then I found the bag of weed and put it there to be certain however on the way to the door this time we lost the bag of weed and the joint
 
welp just rolled one with what was left in the buster with some tobacco set it down then flailed my arm and knocked it onto the carpet
 
Work was crazy busy I didnt even get to take a lunch break today, so glad to be back at home. Still rolling strong bought two cases of ice pops and Italian ice. Gonna make some grilled chicken, aspargus and rice. Should be nice, forgot to take a picture of the schedule tho I have to call and find out my hours for tommrow. Been so busy lately im putting like 50 hours a week generally...
 
man gotta do this 12 min speech tomorrow and i suck at them i always totally forget it on the spot.

The lack of sleeping is killing me aswell. Maybe ill feel better once i get it all done and dusted but then have Hella other work to do.

I need to find a girl and i truly don't know if things will even progress with this girl might just seem like we will be friends. But having somebody will make it easier to get through the times.

I miss LSD but idk if its wise to take another huge dose in the future. It was bad to smoke weed the after effects fuck me over with laziness.

Maybe everything will feel better once i get a proper sleep tomorrow night.
 
Sleep is extremely important... lack of it makes everything much worse.

I slept like 10 and a half hours last night. Stayed up til 6:30am on Saturday night, though I slept til noon. Then I hiked like 5 miles Sunday, and man was I beat. Trying to clear the cobwebs now.
 
I did some dumbshit taking two bottles Methadone Saturday so I didnt have my dose yesterday. I am really feeling it right now. About to head to the clinic tho and pick couple days worth up and be smart about it. Havent done any Fentanyl in over a week tho and Coke in two so im making progress just wanted to get high I should have taken some kratom or something but my tolerance is so high it barely touches the withdrawal maybe an extract would. Gotta get dressed now and head to work 11 hour shift tonight. Getting those hours in im buying a new TV on Payday this weekend pretty excited, couldnt do that if I was still going on Dope/Coke binges. Gonna take some Acid when im off later in the week probably Thursday or Friday, should be fun.

Nice man, it's cool to have money to buy stuff when you aren't spending it all on drugs, isn't it?
 
Man, my stomach still feels weird and not good after drinking only 4 drinks (over like 5 hours) on Saturday. I also took AMT, which makes my stomach feel kinda weird these days and like it doesn't want food, but that should have passed by midway through Sunday. It feels better today than yesterday, but all I've had is a protein shake today and I had to force that down, and the thought of food sounds really unappealing even though I[m hungry. I tried to eat some chips but they're not sitting well.

Fuck alcohol! Seriously.
 
I honestly barely consume alcohol now it just makes me feel so ill for days after and my job is VERY physically demanding and I work alot of hours each week. It just makes me so misérable I mean I been taking aMT a fuck load and need to chill for a bit but that stuff had left me in such a happy state. I have to fall back from it for a few weeks tho and let my seratonin build up yesterday Was good but im getting diminishing Returns at this point gonna just take some L and some DOx for awhile, after the DOF I may go for another DOPr trip in a couple weeks when I have two days off and since they have been giving me Thursday/Friday lately it should be all good. That drug is legit one of the best drugs ever but the 40+ hour duration is daunting to say the least. Will get a Oral DMT trip in there at somepoint also, its been a fun year so far for damn sure ☺
