this btw is why we now see some of the TPOT rationalists microdosing street meth as a substitute. also that they’re idiots, of course.
somehow this man still has a medical license

as a long-term supporter of the idea that folk should be able to just get high if they want to, it’s incredibly hard to square my beliefs with the existence of a person like Scott, especially having directly dealt with the outcomes of Scott’s advice amongst folks I have worked with
in general, the capitalist idea that even getting high needs to have utility has led to the normalization of some of the worst drug culture I’ve ever seen, from the can of worms that is lifestyle microdosing to some much worse shit than that
I haven’t finished the video yet but wow, that was truly shocking. I used to think that psychedelic experiences nudge people to be “better” in some abstract sense that I will not define, but now I see that what I thought was completely wrong.
Education, not prohibition is still my stance; for every Scott encouraging people to take amphetamine, there should be someone who can eloquently describe how it turns you into a soulless focused monster who disregards everything except the goal of the minute, including pesky concerns such as hydration, nutrition, and social interaction. Just like everything else, it’s a tool.
@sinedpick @self Just referring to your comment (haven’t watched the video) I completely agree that there is a view among some crowds that psychedelic experiences have moral and psychological benefits in and of themselves. Which is definitely not the case, and can lead some people to some real bad places.

To be fair, amphetamine is as different from psychedelics (such as LSD and psilocybin) as cocaine is.
Yeah, it’s true, if you’re not careful extended reliance on acid and mushrooms can make you an even more annoying megalomaniac

I don’t think people should go to jail because they want to get high. But, separately, taking a pill, especially timed release, shouldn’t be getting you high, and the people who need adhd meds to function I know certainly don’t act like they’re experiencing euphoria.

cheesus. dude spends entire hour explaining how chemicals have no political inclination, in particular no leftist inclination and how he absolutely have never done acid ever, for legal purposes and only at the end you learn he’s shilling NFTs
I’d be very surprised if that were the case, given this is the description of the $4.20 tier of Chill Goblin’s patreon:
it’s not high parody (heh heh) but it’s pretty clear he’s not an NFT fan
