yea "just look at the data" lol
ftr that was pasta and my actual sentiment is that you'll never process anything even close to objectively because all you ever wanna do is confbias your own worldview and any amount of actual data or info you process won't change that
beans
SHUT THE FUCK UP
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
OMG WE CAN NO BLOCK BRIDGE
LITERALLY 1984
Carl Jung was right
I have a shadow person and he lives to get angry at yns and numeta posts
- take acid
accept the truth of how little yns and numeta opinions actually matter despite them representing sums of people who as an aggregate do matter because the micro engagement doesnt do anything to actually affect the macro dynamics

isnt it mushrooms?
i watched fantastic fungi and apparently we evolved from fungi and the mycelium functions much like a brain which is really fucking cool
i never knew that shit
either works
but what the psychonauts call ego death is super temporary and theres this ironic aftereffect where some of them get too lost in the sauce and get actually extra egotistical about having experienced the crazy psychedelic mental space

mushrooms are literally our ancestors and they have something much resembling a massive brain that sends electrical signals between then
it’s how they know where and when to sprout, etc
fantastic fungi was very enjoyable tho yes big fan

idk if my trips overall made me significantly more apathetic / detached w.r.t to this stuff because im p sure ive always had this sort of attitude
like im p sure its not my ego fabricating memories that ive been trying to metacommentate on the issues of internet political discourse since the early 2010s, p sure that was real
but empirically, tripping a lot for its own sake does seem to push people towards being more schizoid and detached as a general rule and theres also a lot of anecdotes where 1 bad trip can cause lasting mental damage for months to years so yea idk
also the fact that acidheads tried to form political movements and cults and stuff clearly shows detachment isnt the only direction ppl can be pushed in (recommend this book btw, it's an interesting history of acid https://erowid.org/library/books_online/acid_dreams.pdf )

The State will always use some unjust authority to stop protests that cross some red line in their disruption, no matter what the demands of the protest. Because politically, protests in the news look bad for those in power and they want to appear like they are handling it. So there is no point in taking some principled "all protest and dissent is good" stance. All you can do is throw your support behind a protest and dissent that favors what you favor and denounce ones that favor what you oppose.
pretty sure in todays climate letting people protest stuff is a boost to your image
just not when theyre fucking costing your country hundreds of millions of dollars
