This will sound nuts, but after tripping and synchronicity, I truly feel my "purpose" is best served as a "mirror" to help people see themselves. My intelligence is only as useful as it can be made to be understood useful to you. The less I resist higher impulses that feel intuitively correct, and have no rational reason to resist them, the more serendipity appears in my reality.

If I can inspire and pass on any of that to anyone in any way that makes any sense - for them - then I've done "my job" and "business" is good! :sunny:

Not nuts, just sounds like you were seeing things a little clearer than usual with a shot to the brain. Way I see it we only think of that stuff as nuts after the fact because we lost a little faith and receptivity, it's difficult with a mortal mind to comprehend the powers of the gods. Only those who've dropped that mind entirely truly live within the winds. Which is probably to speak too much of what should rightfully be our most natural state.

I'd say you hold a bit more lucidity than you may be giving yourself credit for, via that last statement, my friend :heart:.

It's a long story, but best believe me when I say I'm crazier than the craziest person you ever met. I just have an unknown to science psychological disorder is all. Banking on god saving me in the next life. :rofldrunk:

Text-based communication is horrible. You can't sense the mood or tone of the other person. You don't see their nonverbal communication either. Reddit is the worst place to try to debate. Everybody takes everything so offensively because nobody has any tone to base anything on. This is why so many arguments happen online. I think everyone would benefit from taking a couple communications classes at a junior college. Interpersonal communication and argumentation and persuasion.

I posted a thread in this sub about a debate between physicists and a philosopher about whether or not we live in a simulated universe. That is probably one of the best debates I've ever seen. Nobody is getting angry at each other, nobody is getting emotional, everyone is stating their claim, backing it up with grounds and warrants, and presenting their arguments in a mature manner. Awesome debate.

One of the funnest things I did in junior college was going to a debate championship when I was taking argumentation and persuasion. It was an extra credit assignment. I watched two different teams debate with each other on a topic. I totally forgot what it was about but it really taught me how to State my claim and gather my grounds and warrants and state my argument. Those are the three steps in arguing and persuading people in a debate or otherwise.
