It also is an excellent way to get in trouble with your family and friends if you are messed up enough to try to justify and explain that feeling of pure, nonsensical insight to anybody else. Anybody who has tried this knows what I'm talking about.
I've firsthand see some people go off the deep end from using psychedelics and have messianic thoughts, an eagerness to share nonsense with people to the point of breaking relationships, and start to construct a completely bonkers view of reality and psychedelia and history. The person I saw this happen to wasn't crazy for long, luckily, but it's a reminder not to push oneself too far or to at least keep your revelations to yourself if you do.
I realize that I might smoke weed more than is appropriate. Some may accuse me of still being stuck in my college days, where peer pressure forces experimentation with substances. “High thoughts” used to be funny, because they sounded philosophical, but others see them as a sorry excuse for the real thing.

This thread is over. Every kid thinks they could be the next Kerouac or Hunter S. Thompson.

Are you saying that you’re the kid who wants to be Kerouac or Hunter S Thompson?

For example, I said it took me years to understand what specially is a dart (virote), and how they work.
And that may or may not even be true because I understood it the first time, but skill develops over time anyway, and at a different rate for each person.
That means if some people read that thought, they’ll assume there’s some “woke” dude out there who, by proxy, “understood” what darts are and is an expert at them, as if that makes them more valuable. At no point did I say I wanted to be a dart expert, not a jack of all trades, although it couldn’t hurt. That means if I disappoint some in that, they assume some weakness in that new endeavor means an insecurity in those you associate with. They only want the best, but only so much time has occurred in terms of 10,000 hours required for expertise.
There are “only” 7.7 billion people in the world. That proves each person has a distinct set of separate interests, favorites, and skills. Not everyone could possibly be a professional in every art.
I think it’s the book Only Two Can Play This Game that convinced people being an expert is a trap, and it’s better to be called everything, instead of one title or job.

I hate to be the one to have to tell you this OP, but I think you're currently going through an episode of psychosis or possibly schizophrenia. Your posts in this thread are just barely making sense. Many of the sentences themselves don't fully make any sense, and the overall ideas of your posts are all over the place and don't fully make sense. Your first post for example starts out making sense, but very quickly becomes difficult to follow and then impossible.
If you've been doing any drugs lately, you should try to stop for a while until you recover a little. That includes weed. If you have bipolar, then it's possible you're going through a manic episode. It's possible a mood stabilizer might help in that case if you have access to any. You might even consider taking an antipsychotic, just to get you back on the right track. If that fails or you don't have access to that stuff, you might want to consider seeing a doctor.
It's too bad because I was interested in the original question in this thread: can psychedelics blur the line between fantasy and reality. On a medium dose of a lysergamide or a large dose of mushrooms, I sometimes have a hard time telling what is real and what I only imagined. The line between fantasy and reality becomes blurred or even confused. It's a strange and beautiful experience to wonder if you're really experiencing a thing or only imagining it.
It'd like to discuss that a bit further, but you really need to take care of yourself OP. I hope you feel better and start thinking more clearly soon.

I can imagine this being true in the age of TRUMPISM, where facts are less important and people need to conform or fail in the most inane ways.
due to being surrounded by blockheads, it becomes impossible to make progress, and one gets locked into inanity.

And nobody even bothers to read the reports. I wonder if literacy will become a thing of the past, a scorned tool of elitism.

Many many times. That's just part of the experience.
                   
And when I was suffering from a concussion induced schizophrenic state years ago much of my thinking, speech, and writing was similar to what you're saying and doing here. However, it wasn't the sense of unreality that stuck with me, it was the fact that the impossible stuff actually happened...totally straight...and in front of other people who also saw it. Smoke that pipe.

TLDR the thread but i was listening to a JRE Graham hancock today and GH suggested that psychedelics adjust our brain to be able to essentially refocus on another dimension that is alive within our own. i can get behind that theory because ive have trips that have somewhat turned into deja vu. although it could just be coincidence. we know nothing for certain.

You can have a respectable opinion, because we know what a simple misunderstanding can do. Some of what I do is cutting edge, groundbreaking research. For example, I’m not asking anyone to be racist or use that point of view for their belief. In Stan Grof’s books he talks about the need for new understanding in science. He says new information about the mind should be incorporated into the prevailing scientific world views.
There is no psychedelic rennaissance, and it doesn’t have to be advertised as such. People are just offended that as whites, indigenous populations can’t advise them on what they should do. John Lennon is one of my favorite singer-songwriters because of his work with The Beatles. It doesn’t make sense that anyone, these days especially, can pretend to surpass his contribution to our understanding of life, beauty, and how things operate.
Talk is only so cheap. Every kid these days are Beatles impostors especially; there’s no need to feign a desire for postmodern life in the now. Some of us have been wishing for flying cars since the 90’s.
For example, shamans in the jungle use la dieta when working with the plants. People think Siberian shamanism is better because there’s no real mention of that, or any other rules. They’re the ones who used Amanita muscaria in Europe, mainly the Koryaks. In the Wassons’ book, they say the “berserk” mode isn’t a myth. In the end, berserk really means “bear shirt”, although the Vikings didn’t really use it before battles and village raiding.
They also say you have to go vegan, or eat only vegan animals, because other animals could make your stomach filthy and harder to use ayahuasca. None of them are rave substances, but the mushroom could have helped with hunting and food gathering by increasing visual acuity.
We don’t need more people on medication in hospital beds especially when they could be having a spiritual emergency, which would mean an inconsistency.
