In reply to:
Psilocybin enters the bloodstream via diffusion (and is still subject to the randomizing effects of turbulence in the body's fluids- including blood and synaptic fluid. THERE IS NO CODE. Hence, there is no communication. I will argue this no more, I'm right.
I really shouldn't even be bringing up past BS like this, but your use of the phrase "I'm right" compels me to spout off some of my ignorance. Did you ever take into consideration that each psilocin/psilocybin molecule (or particle or whatever the technical term for it is) individually contains this so called 'code' you keep insisting doesn't exists? Think of it like a fractal or something in which any given part contains all the necessary 'stuff' to completely reconstruct the entire pattern/message/whatever in it's entirety. If that's the case then it wouldn't matter how random the psiloc(yb)in enters the body or how random it's absorbed or whatever, all that would matter is that it gets into the body and that there's enough of it there to make us aware of the message. (e.g. looking at a single circle of the Mandelbrot set is hardly enough it see the full beauty of it all, just as a single bit of psilocybin isn't enough to feel the effects...but the more you're exposed to the more you experience)
I'm not saying this is how it works, but I do think it's a possibility. Is it so wrong to be open to things like this?

If T.S. Eliot said that, then it was stolen from William Blake.
The Marriage of Heaven and Hell

Really? Hhmmm...maybe I should look into that.
Uummm...I'm not finding it. Do you have a source?

He'll start using his head and having a bit of consideration and empathy for others points of view sooner or later. I'll make sure of it

The Marriage of Heaven and Hell:
two of the Proverbs of Hell:
The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom
You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough
Not word for word, but I think it's clear where T.S. Eliot got it from. There can be little doubt that he would have read that poem.

Alright, I see where you're comming from now. For a second there I thought I was misinformed about one of my favorite quotes. I think you're right about TS Elliot getting his ideas from William Blake...but hey, that's part of life right? I mean, if we weren't allowed to scratch off seriel numbers and re-paint this world would be an awefully boring place.

There is nothing wrong with T.S. Eliot being influenced by other writers. All writers, musicians and artists are influenced by those who came before them.
But actually dude, scratching off serial numbers sounds like it might be immoral and illegal.

nah mr mush, no desire for a fight, i simply won't stand for people bullying others with snide remarks.
Reread the passage in the Bible where my Son speaks of the mote in your brother's eye.
He'll start using his head and having a bit of consideration and empathy for others points of view sooner or later.
I'll make sure of it
You'll make sure of nothing except to tend to your own spiritual growth instead of growing your ego. I will handle all others. It is time that you set an example by displaying this empathy of which you speak.
For as much as you claim to have gotten the message, you have completely missed the mark. Let me restate it clearly:
"Whatsoever you do to the least of my brethren, you do also to me."
