2001 wasnt a surrealist film, why not make a proper analogy?> and actually, it is a well known fact (within the film literate elite) that drugs ran rampant on kubrick sets. Check the Shining, think "cocaine" do your homework

I don't think they had LSD back then. It was an altered state of consciousness no matter how hard you try to escape it. Case closed.

I know I've portrayed myself falsely just to piss you guys off and use you as agents of my own entertainment. I don't know.. is that wrong? I can rationalize my actions if I have to.

Seriously, though. The drugs aren't causing any sort of devolution, or whatever negative effects that we are talking about here. When you tend your garden, and you put too much fertilizer in an effort to grow super pot, and you kill off the plants, was it the fertilizer that killed them? I don't think so.
The name of the game here is who you are. Your thoughts. Your intentions. How you act. How you feeeeeel. How you cope. How you react to input, to different situations. A drug is a catalyst, a new experience. How you walk into it and what you bring with is going to determine how you walk out.
*shrugs* Peace.
Exactly!

Maybe the problem is not that the "thinkers" are being replaced by "non-thinkers", But that the so-called thinkers are just arrogant windbags that think just because they've memorized a bunch of textbook phrases in "logic", that they are somehow superior.
Alot of the so-called bullshit I read on here really seems to be mis-represented truth. Even uneducated people can have insight into the nature of things. They just cannot explain it in terms that you "thinkers" can understand.
If you were such a thinker you would be a little more thoughtful about this whole thing.

I am glad you thought that was insightful.
But it is not poor communication that is the problem, atleast not on the part of the communicator. It is lack of understanding by the listener.
I don't believe in the concept of aliens or ghosts as expressed by the many members on this board, but to say that thier ideas are bunk and without any merit whatsoever is just being narrow minded.
I have a friend who's mother is very superstitious. The other day I was talking to her and, as I always do, was only paying partial attention to her. Then, all of the sudden it hit me. She believes in alot of the same concepts in which I believe. She just relates them differently.
Communication is a process which involve more than one person.
Unless you are schizo!

Not believing in falsehoods is narrow-minded? So you accept everything that everyone tells you?

WOW! you really need to re-read my post swami. That is not at all what I said. And I thought you had excellent comprehension. I know you asked a question, and the answer is no.

Once again you are "right"!
sur?re?al?ism ( P ) Pronunciation Key (s-r-lzm) n. A 20th-century literary and artistic movement that attempts to express the workings of the subconscious and is characterized by fantastic imagery and incongruous juxtaposition of subject matter.
There was no fanastic imagery as Dave rebirthed in another dimension and the juxtaposition of a black rectangular door at the dawn of evolution/civilization has been "done-to-death".

yes, obviously it was a surrealist film swami. Do you think the surrealism, especially the light show sequence wasnt in any way inspired by LSD>?

well, heres a quote from the man himself, hopefull this will clear a few things up for you.
I believe that drugs are basically of more use to the audience than to the artist. I think that the illusion of oneness with the universe, and absorption with the significance of every object in your environment, and the pervasive aura of peace and contentment is not the ideal state for an artist. It tranquilizes the creative personality, which thrives on conflict and on the clash and ferment of ideas. The artist's transcendence must be within his own work; he should not impose any artificial barriers between himself and the mainspring of his subconscious. One of the things that's turned me against LSD is that all the people I know who use it have a peculiar inability to distinguish between things that are really interesting and stimulating and things that appear to be so in the state of universal bliss that the drug induces on a "good" trip. They seem to completely lose their critical faculties and disengage themselves from some of the most stimulating areas of life. Perhaps when everything is beautiful, nothing is beautiful
