This culture is very harmful and psychopathic in many ways. I don't see why it should be defended for the sake of conformity.
I think that being intelligent with your life, realizing your potential and using your skills to help society in a beneficial way are real indicators of success. It's about how much good you put into the world, not objects. Happiness is a frame of mind, when I went to rural Jamaica the majority of people had nothing, and the majority of the people were more happy than we are here.
I think that you need to play the game to win (by the definition of the rules of the game)
But the best way to play this game of Monopoly would be to bitch-slap the banker and use our time to be productive rather than focusing on redundant, cyclical consumption and a mutated American dream.
(On the topic of psychedelics helping or hindering, I think that they are catalysts for change. It's subjective to the user whether this is good or not.)

To be free, open-minded, and enlightened just like you. Oh, the irony of it. Too bad you don't get the joke, you're the slave who thinks he's free.

This whole thread is a bunch of BS IMO since it assumes that one way of life is somehow "better" than another.
We're all going through the motions as we hurtle towards the same cliff.
All this talk of "enhancing" or "retarding" your life is 100% subjective 
So to all my fellow seekers out there who suffer from a case of having too much perspective for the normal shields which joe citizen uses to get through the day to work anymore...understand that the lack of connection you feel to the world is not a curse. On the contrary, you've cut the strings that tied you down.
So stop feeling sorry for yourself, cowboy up, put on your adventuring boots and go have one!
Lead a life that other people only read about..keeping in mind the whole while that it doesn't likely mean a thing.

Not to mention, playing the game intelligently will get you all of the above and more, but it can also get you topnotch pussy and possibly a quality wife.
If anything, psychedelics probably fuck up a lot people's ability to shrewdly play the game by turning them into thoughtful, do-nothings with vague grievances against the maaaan. Fuck that, use your own intelligence and abilities to play their fucking game and change, bend, and break the rules so at least you can enjoy and maybe even look forward to playing it. And don't fool yourself into thinking shrooms give you an edge, they give you a retard handicap.
I half agree with you. I agree that the ubiquitous sentiment of "society is eeeeevil, mannnnnn" is generally stupid. Look at what society has given me. I have friends, a hot young girlfriend, I eat delicious foods and never go hungry, and I get to see amazing and funny things.
But I think it also does come with some evils. Some people get caught up in it and do some truly awful things to get ahead.
And I think psychedelics do give me an edge. I actually just made a thread about it, here. This has definitely helped me get ahead, though that wasn't really the intention at all.
