Wow, did this post get long...
Yeah, if I do it I'll go somewhere safe, no cliffs, moving water or bears or anything. And I'm married, so I'm sure my husband will bug me about safety.
I don't know, I've been craving nature like mad lately. Living in the city really gets draining. My childhood was spent dirty and bare-foot in rural Pennsylvania. I spent almost all my time out in the woods. Then I moved to Texas in different cities and became much less active.
I'm still a wild-child at heart.

tomk said: Yeah, but I can't reconcile nature > technology with the fact that these shrooms grow best in artifical conditions like landscaped areas, or that the only way I get music is through technology. Man, technology is great, I can't wait to get upgrades like surgically installed headphones, superfocus sight, where you can focus on everything at once, and shit like that. Compared to where technology will be in 1000 years, drugs are primative at opening your mind. Think that the exact brainstates could be carefully crafted to give the best experience. That feeling you get in nature, we can recreate that on a computer, and optimize, and upload it to your brain and offer you bliss that WILL be experientially better than your experience in nature, and because we will all realize that what we experience is what is real, from advances in quantum physics. We are leaving this whole planet behind and then we will get from technology what we got from nature and it will be a beautiful thing my friend.
To think all this will happen in the 7 years between now and 2012. Until then, nature is the best we got, but technology gains will beat it in the end. Remember, nature is part of this planet and we will leave it behind when we transcend the world. But we will still have technology! You think it's not as good, I see it in your head, but technology is better! You want isolation, try being an astronaut! You can moon the whole planet at one time! Technology will defeat nature my friend Tyler!
/transhumanist
why do you have to be dissatisfied with what we have? You life lacks in ways that make you see the need to "better" something. If people would only open there eyes and see threw the lazyness and greed. You sir are a new trend a fad, Just like all trends they will fade away, nature will provaile,
Keep seeking outside yourself for ways of pleasure, you will awake one day to realise your whole life has been searching for something or bettering something that was with you the whole time.
I dont mean to be rude but I feel what you want to achive is exactly what we do not need and in that you , meaning the whole that think like you will fail. I am not dareing you to achive what you desire, Yo u will succeed in your life time, but it is the generations ahead that will pay for your mistakes.
"drugs are primative at opening your mind. Think that the exact brainstates could be carefully crafted to give the best experience." the source is within us all no need to look else where.
I am sure I offend you, I mean it with the upmost respect though.

See I realize that that bliss I get in nature is a brainstate that could be further refined by technology. It is out of how much I love that moment that I think we should refine it with technology. You speak as if there is anything but an artifical barrier between technology and nature. Surely as one as enlightened as you knows the boundries we create between things are artifical consturctions, the boundry between nature and technology is like this. It is our nature to use technology to better ourselves! We evolved that way! Every time you are blissed out in nature and wearing shoes you are realizing your evolutionary traits of using technology to thrive in and enhance the experience of nature. Technology is built into humanity so that we can survive in nature. But it's the technology that is part of our humanity. No wonder you take refuge in new age crap if you are so conflicted about the part of your nature that lets you survive in nature. You should take some more shrooms and watch the walls between ntaure and technolgy dissolve as you watch some of the shit birds can do with sticks.
Me I want a houseboat with a satalite internet connection.

Then it looses it specialness, then we become unhappy again, then you will further your search, and so on and so on, never being fully happy always wanting more then whats needed.
I am not in revolt of technology, I am not enlightened. I simply see no need in making life to be so exagerated. If thats the way life is, then so be it, I will peacfully be with you all living the way life best works for me.
ps i often walk bare foot or in flip flops there is nothing new to the age I walk in i walk in nature.
I see the birds use tools and its amazing, they get there grub and are happy, as am I

Never did it alone. Me and a few close friends spent a couple months camping in isolation in Oregon one summer. Did it in N. California the next summer. Both times were absolutaly wonderful.
