Social The Delphic Oracle - Know Thyself: P&S Social Ampitheatre of Doom

Hey ya'll, I never really took a look at this thread because I'm old and out of the loop to some extent so I really didn't know what it was for. True story.
Now I've read much of it backwards I have to say I'm so delighted and impressed that there are so many fine, dandy, compassionate and intelligent folk here. Makes me happy and I live with mucho depression on a daily basis, carry on and I shall start reading forwards at some point. Thanks guys.

Oh and I forgot to say I lMAO many times reading this shit.
 
I play with that all the time. I'm in a unique situation from most of you fine folk. I'm pretty old now as a psychonaut from the early 70s. I've run my race, mostly lost but had some exceptional times getting there and now find myself just a little bored with the show. I used to joke that I'd be like the old Chinese and after fulfilling my doody to the machine I'd retire to the Opium den for the trailer and credits. So here I am using oxy and kratom on a daily basis along with the occasional rc or nootropic and some vit c. So I guess I can take my opiates with a little less trepidation than many of you who have a long life ahead and maybe something you dream of accomplishing before shit house burns to the ground. I feel for many here. In many ways you are my only human friends. I live with dogs and avoid bald primates most all of the time and by choice. I don't fit into polite society be it liberal or conservative. I've become a pessimist. That means I'm not fun at parties.
 
Preaching to the choir on oxy (and opioids in general). Ive quit but if I was to be true to myself and had no other commitments, I would use them around the clock. Im not really pessimistic but I dont have any dreams anymore really. I get excited about things, go hard for awhile and realize whats the point?
 
One of my ex's introduced me to the concept of enlightened hedonism. You have to work at getting there and it's actually pretty subjective but if done correctly what gives you the most pleasure also benefits all those in your sphere. I guess that's a point worth something to someone. She does it so well that it puts my puny efforts to shame. That's why I had to leave her. I knew I was bringing her down. We remain fast friends however and she is the one that tells them it's time to pull the plug after my multiple strokes. Gotta love a friend like that.
 
Man, I wish my hedonistic tendencies brought the closest to me benefits. Usually just grief. Is this a well defined concept or something just your ex did?
 
Well it's well defined in our minds. One has to reach a certain stage of awareness however. This can be very difficult and many years of toil unfortunately. However the concept is simple. If you truly know what is in your best interest and can do that then no harm will come to anyone and in fact may benefit others. Take smiling at strangers for instance and actually noticing them.
 
Makes sense. Finding your best interests is pretty fucking hard sometimes though. I guess thats the toil. Im speaking personally here but very recently Ive been working on just that and not sure I feel I am getting anywhere and certainly not influencing anyone. But baby steps I guess.
 
Been taking small doses of amt recently to assist with depression, some good results so far. 5-7mg doses twice a day. Too much yesterday, ended up bit too trippy...:)

Nice, using it as it was originally intended. I guess it got discontinued as an antidepressant because there were too many people complaining that it made them feel "weird". =D Has it been helping?

I keep forgetting that I have AMT. That's a good thing though, since in 2006-2007 I abused it really hard, I couldn't stay away from it, took it 2-3 days in a row regularly and 7 days in a row once (at full doses). This time, I used it once after I got it and it's been sitting in storage for months since and I just now remembered. :)
