  • I recommend to newcomers to try lsd before trying psilocybin. Psilocybin hits you in waves. Where you go thru the experience having moments of intense tripping and mellow tripping. It also is technically a poison in your body’s regard so it can cause you to have wierd stomache sensations. Not really like a nauseous feeling but more of a feeling like your stomache is doing flips.

    Lsd is a much more stable experience that slowly escalates to a long plateau of tripping. Your experience is the result of your brain using different pathways than it normally does.

    Not trying to persuade anyone into doing drugs for the first time. Just wanted to provide my anecdotal experiences with psychedelics.




  • Its for people that require several specialists for their health coverage. For example cancer patients who have surgeons, screenings, treatments all thru seperate departments or facilities all together. The concierge helps coordinate your shit and helps keep everyone in communication and keeps you on schedule.

    Doesnt have to be cancer tho. They can be helpful for example my case where I’m seeing psych for counseling, psych MD for prescribing, endocrinologist for type 1 diabetes, primary physician cuz its req. So I’ve used them to keep all that shit in line.





  • Right?! I get the whole fuck Elon circle jerk. Dudes an idiot. But with that being said, I am still fascinated by starlink, spaceX, neuralink and Tesla. I dont have a lick of social media beyond this lemmy account (and obviously my [email protected] account or whatever the user tag is), I also do not have cable to be exposed to cable news or main stream media takes. So my fascination is entirely driven by these types of articles that make a mention of musk but the focus is on the advancements being made and while Elon will be in history books for each of these leaps in technology, I still remain fascinated because the advancements are being made by very qualified, very intelligent individuals. As well as the impact these projects have on our everyday life.


  • Super duper duper not a religious person but one of my favorite pieces of literature is the serenity prayer. You cut out the last like 6 lines and it doesn’t even mention shit about God but the rest perfectly outlines my approach to politics, everyday idiots, and not kicking little kids in the chest when they act like shitbags. (Discussion for another time but as of this comment I am batting 1000 for correcting child misbehaviors via swift kick to the chest vs kids who were given timeout after misbehaving lol /s)

    Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.

    Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it;

    Its a horrible truth but life has not, is not and never will be fair. You will be beat down, fucked over, robbed, disrespected and overwhelmingly discouraged by what life throws at you. Life is a battle and victory is having the strength to continue fighting. When life is at its darkest, that is when you must be at your best.




  • Nope. We are in the wheel of a machine driven by corporate interests protected by a government with an unmatchable military complex financed by American tax dollars being paid by a society who follows whatever carrot network media decides to hold infront of our nose. The current state of America’s governing powers is assuming the formn.01% has always dreamed of. A world where the poor get poorer while the market and it’s investing parties get richer. All governing bodies dream of a constant state of too poor to change but not poor enough to risk life or threaten the controlling body’s prosperity. America will remain at this state until people realize the fight isn’t against an opposing political belief. The fight is between the American people and the American government. For as long as this political polarity goes on, there will never be a unilaterally directed body sting enough to foce change.








  • So by your logic a child locked in a room with no understanding of language is not capable of thought? All of your reasoning for why a computers aren’t generating thoughts are actual psychological case studies tought in the abnormal psychology course I took in high school back in 2005. You don’t even have to go that far into the abnormal portion of it either. I’ve never sat with my buddies daughter’s “classes” but she is 4 years old now and on the autism spectrum. She is doing wonderfully since she started with this special Ed preschool program she’s in but at 4 years old she still cannot speak and she is still in diapers. Not saying this to say she’s really bad or far on the spectrum, I’m using this example because it’s exactly what you are out lining. She isn’t a dumb kid by any means. She’s 100x’s more athletic and coordinated than any other kid I’ve seen her age. What he was told and once he told me I noticed it immediately, which was that with autistic babies, they don’t have the ability to mimic what other humans around them are doing. I’m talking not even the littlest thing like learning how to smile or laugh by seeing a parent smiling at them. It was so tough on my dude watching him work like it meant life or death trying to get his daughter to wave back when she was a baby cuz it was the first test they told him they would do to try and diagnose why his daughter wasn’t developing like other kids.

    Fuck my bad I went full tails pin tangent there but what I mean to say is, who are we to determine what defines a generated independent thought when the industry of doctors, educators and philosophers haven’t done all that much understanding our own cognizant existence past "I think, Therefore I am.

    People like my buddy’s daughter could go their entire life as a burden of the state incapable of caring for themself and some will never learn to talk well enough to give any insight to the thoughts being processed behind their curtains. So why is the argument always pointing toward the need for language to prove thought and existence?

    Like is said in NY other comment. Not trying to prove or argue any specific point. This shit is just wildly interesting to me. I worked in a low income nursing home for years where they catered to residents who were considered burdens of the state after NY closed the doors on psychological institutions everywhere, which pushed anyone under 45y/o to the streets and anyone over 45 into nursing homes. So there were so many, excuse the crash term but it’s what they were, brain dead former drug addics or brain dead alzheimer residents. All of whom spent thw last decades of their life mumbling, incoherent, and staring off into space with noone home. We’re they still humans cababl3 of generative intelligence cua every 12 days they’d reach the hand up and scratch their nose?
