I'm sure you do. It's pretty universal to find a way to justify it, though.

No. I believe what you put out matters. Even if the negative doesn't come back to you, it may cause a chain reaction augmenting whatever negative may already be there. One person leaves a hair in your coffee, you then cut someone off in traffic, then that person goes and curses out their coworker, then that person goes home and gets into an argument with their spouse, and etc. Etc. Etc. You never know if you could be putting out feathers that break camels' backs down the road. I don't agree with going after someone, even if they go after you and do something to you. They may reflect and feel guilty about it, and if they don't, that is on them, not you. Avoid people that are like that. By not becoming like other people whom are back stabbers, you can retain peace of mind.

Nonetheless you do. You live in a rich country while others live without toilets. Your comfort is on the back of someone else's suffering. The fact that you don't see it or choose not to think about it doesn't change the reality. Democracy ALWAYS works like that. You vote for what is best for you and yours.

I'm not responsible for the conditions I was born into, but I am responsible for being born, and also what I think and do about those conditions: specifically try to convince people through philosophy that psychedelics can bring together mankind deeper, albeit temporarily perhaps in some way, where people can agree and facilitate democracy with greater efficacy. The same is to be said about every country. There is deep healing in psychedelic wisdom, which is real. Not all shamans are crazy crackpots. There is something lacking between people today, and it is a shared, meaningful, emotional experience aside from that of narcissistic reinforcement of competition and consumption.

I have also personally met extremely poor people in America... from many places. I have lived in an abandoned house in the middle of nowhere in rural Alabama where I bathed in rainwater falling from the roof.. with my husband. LOL . Could have literally died out there, but life takes you places, they say. Not everything is as it seems in America... Some are extravagantly rich. But there is a price for having a lot of money. It robs you of your soul. But having a lot of money is nothing when there are multi billionaires. "A lot of money" only really is understandable to those who don't have that much.

So billionaires not paying any taxes is going to fix that? Because Republicans think that.
I think that’s gonna make things much worse for everyone except for billionaires.
Democrats believe in taxing billionaires. Which I think is far more helpful for the general population. Whether people realize it or not. Republicans are inherently bad for the public.

I just feel like throwing everything into the fire isn’t helping. We can at least try. Democrats at least try. Republicans are throwing everything into the fire to maximize profits for themselves as quickly as they can.

Waking up with vines reaching in the window and a 7 inch long centipede crawling on your arm is a wake up call to say the least... with a distant roar of 18 wheelers on the highway... that things are not okay.

There aren't any other options, Enlil, besides religion. And the religion we all know is a masquerade of the true psychedelic religion that is our birthright.

Let's get real. Have you been tripping before alone with another person you love? Have you looked into their eyes? Felt their breathing with yours? Their heartbeat? The psychedelics open this experience up to much more than can ever be put into words. It is astonishing to me that some people go their whole lives never experiencing it. This sort of thing changes you forever, and it makes you see clearly the "inner light" all the mystics throughout the ages have referred to. There is something very special about us, but our waking consciousness in the quotidian milieu blunts and nullifies the consciousness that is the complete affectation of awareness concerning the depth of emotion between people. To see what 'inherent worth' means so clearly that it can bring you to tears. This is what we are, and yes, I am not ashamed anymore to say psychedelics are the tool and the key that allows this to happen for us... and without them we are destined to deteriorate in a collective mentality, and division, war, chaos, distrust is all that ensues from there.

I'm sorry, dude. Drugs are cool, and yes...I've done far more than my share...but they don't turn humans into something they aren't. They don't change our nature. People who have direct control of policy will enact policy that serves the majority at the expense of the minority. Your fairytale fantasies might be comforting, but they aren't real.

Can't read the first. The second looks like a bandaid on a bullet wound. Also, it seems to be addressing climate, mostly. We're not going to live long enough for climate change reversal to mean anything.

They do, in fact, change our brain to something better and more emotional and dynamic, hence Cicero saying about the blatantly psychedelic nature of Eleusis, "Cum spe meliore moriendi," "for the sake of dying with better hope." That is from recognizing the inherent worth of humanity, which I was talking about. We do not come to recognize this on our own. Nature really has somehow provided us with something indispensable in a spiritual regard. Can anyone say for sure what they were doing at Eleusis? Maybe, but it is hidden if so. You know I and Merlin Sheldrake, and Terence Mckenna think it was mushrooms. I have presented conclusive evidence that it is mushrooms, yet people insist there is something wrong... yet haven't pointed anything out. The implications of this do not go anywhere, and they will remain until they are addressed, indeed the last skeleton in the closet people want to even admit exists.
