yeah true it doesn't, you have to be able to reflect upon what you learn in the books. but i feel like being an intellectual type made me have to work out some issues for myself that might seem 'optional' to people and i wish more people would try it out...aint so bad lol

maybe i shouldn't say intellectuals in general, but the ones who hail academia. especially the ones who they think are incredibly brilliant and attempt to show it at every turn. they always get mad about stupid shit, worrying about something that shouldn't be worrisome  :shrug: everyone just needs to take a :chillpill:

Life's no fun when all the knowledge is handed to you it's more fun to go explore for it.




I try to live like I would in my dreams.  I'll read my textbook on Mondays.

I don't go to school but read textbooks using the PQRST method of learning.  I can sift through the bullshit and learn what I want... on Mondays.

Yeah Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens kind of annoy me on some of the points they've made in the past. They are certain about something that science cannot measure. I would say Dawkins is more humble than Hitchens was though.




Oh, Dawkins and Hitchens are polar opposites on the humble scale. Humble was the only word in the English language that Hitchens didn't know.

I would have to say Aldous Huxley, I just got done reading Doors of Perception and Heaven & Hell. I read a Brave New World a while ago and the guy is a genius.

He tripped cid a lot too xD

Carl Sagan
Albert E.
Schordinger
Wernher von Braun

Wallace Carothers -(Invented Nylon but killed himself thinking he didn't invent shit...The following day he committed suicide in a hotel room in Philadelphia by taking cyanide dissolved in lemon juice, knowing that the ingestion of cyanide in an acidic solution would greatly intensify the speed and effect of the poison.

Huxley definitely changed my perspective on things. I had always wanted to try psychedelics but after reading the Doors of Perception I gained the courage to do so. So, I rolled for the first time a few months back. I am actually about to try Mescaline and E/Molly. I have done shrooms though and I honestly had a better experience on the cid.

Yeah LSD is a very mystical experience I like it but only once in awhile... Huxley was interesting. The only person to ever take lsd on their death bed haha.
