You know I am right. Why play devil's advocate with something so blatant?

You linked an article that had as conclusions that changes to amygdala lasted 1 week for negative affect and 1 month for positive affect. Then you claim changes are not temporary, despite the actual article you linked showing that they are temporary. So no, you are not right and I am not playing devil's advocate.

Are you aware of just how profound psilocybin is neurologically? You are equating this to caffeine? Heroin?

Love is a series of chemicals. It is not just chemicals. Chemical substances can give us an understanding of emotion, because our brains, due to rigorous, unethical, dehumanizing conditions become essentially destroyed and incapable of feeling emotion at the correct time, and seeks substitutions for these things as defense mechanism, like rage and narcissisim. This is, you can see the brain scans for yourself, exactly the area in the brain that psychedelics affect more profoundly than anything on Earth, namely what is called the default mode network in the brain.

On topic - dont vote for either one. Demand they are prosecuted for their war crimes. The crimes against animals and enviornments we all shall pay for.
The OP is right to feel that the US is hopeless and it is, until the people decide to rise up, and oppose the political system, or the US is defeated. We have to fight to make a new trajectory possible and fighting to maintain the core of this political and economic system will not yield any positive results.

Vive la révolution my man lmao jk
Slavoj Zizek asked the right question. I'm sure he was quoting someone else, but he elaborates on "What happens the day after the revolution?"
Something deeper has to change than political skin that is shed as time goes on anyway.

No, he does not elaborate on what happens the day after the revolution, he just sniffs and makes that disgusting annoying sound snorting again and again while he plays both sides of the fence and claiming to be a communist and it seems all so entertaining to some. The novelty of Zizek wore off for me years ago. I doubt he writes much better than he speaks. If you claim he elaborates then lets hear it. What comes after the revolution in his mind?

Not everybody is willing to throw the baby out with the bath water and just start over. Fixing mistakes and doing your best on new problems and leaving the stuff alone that is working is best. Reminds me of trumps repeal and replace obama care. He did real good in his effort to repeal but never got around to any replace. Be like quitting my job for a better one before I got the better one. Massive change is not what is needed but just continual work toward perfecting and improving.

I just told you.
There is a psychological crisis that has given birth to the need for the revolution. What is this crisis... In a Jungian sense... what is so primordial of a crisis... maybe.... a historical event or series

Yea.. a little duct tape and go on business as usual. Uhh.. hello? That is why we are here now!
Something deep rooted is causing mistakes, and we're running out of room for more fixes... there aren't any spare parts left!

Here, now, is not so bad. It was not so bad when I was a kid and visited my grandma who lived in a house with out storm windows and only vent cut in the floor with out duct work to move heat and no running water but just a well and a cistern and hand pump. Yes, it wasn't so bad but is better now. Better then average house was 1000 sf with seven people and now four people in 1500 sf is small. Ice cream was a dime and you could not have it and now it is a dollar and you can have anytime you want. What is so bad about being here. It does not matter the time, everyone has good and bad times but maybe the human with out conflict forgets how bad it is when it is too good. I don't say you should not gripe, I just say make sure what you want is worth the cost.
By the way, I am not preaching to you who ask what is the catalyst for upheaval. I am just making a point that many of the problems here are just outrage stuff that gets you excited but changes your life none and so our problem may be a thinking or memory problem.
