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.

    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
