the cluttered minds
of a thousand retarded magical penguins
swatting flies
in the shadow of stardom

follow me, snowpig
into the satanic waterfalls of yesteryear's ponytails
and scribble smutty poetry on the walls
like grasshoppers

incessant humming
nairobi palaver
snot parkour
oh sonic pastrami!

i, demigod in neanderthal land
sorcerer in unmagicstan
cosmic, conscious, breathing being
in a yellow caravan

Festing Breathiful, Lenun! zazan zazan

This is only applicable going forward, right? Because if it was applied retroactively, a full third of the website would be consolidated in this one thread.

THAT DOES IT!
I'M SECEDING!

Mitt Romney's facebook page seems to be losing about a thousand likes an hour. :lulz:

:lol: A friend mentioned that. It's like -2 per second.
Obama's is about +1 per sec

Well, for example for me, studying geology does both. Most hobbies build your knowledge about that hobby.


Oh, my goodness!  How did the goalposts get all the way over there!?

That was re: Things that give pleasure and knowledge. but i get now that that wasn't the point being contested.

In re: Drugs helping someone learn... Look at caffeine for example. Tell me that can't help you focus and learn. In re: Certain other/hallucinogenic drugs, it's just going to come down to anecdotes > anecdotes, so yeah fuck that...

In re: OP ingesting unknown drugs in quantities greater than advised by the damn dealer... FUCK THAT TOO.

there's not such a thick boundary between acquiring Pleasure and acquiring Knowledge like you're pretending there is. plenty of activities achieve both.

Yeah?  Sitting around taking anonymous pills, as described, and then doing some yoga?

I call 169% bullshit.  Absolute rubbish.

Well, for example for me, studying geology does both. Most hobbies build your knowledge about that hobby.
Let's look at another perspective-changing activity - for example, once when I posted a piece, Nigel reminded me to look at it as the audience is seeing it, not as I'm seeing it. That's a technique that helps me learn every time I do it. It's not automatically/directly bringing me knowledge, but it's changing how I look at things so that I might pick up some new knowledge based on how effectively I use the technique. Usually that is a pleasurable experience, too.
There's no reason the experience of learning can't be accompanied by pleasure or vice versa.

But another thing is that they tend, in large (or in the case of the OP, UNKNOWN) doses or types, to fuck your head up.  Depression-fueled cynicism, dementia, and general lassitude towards accomplishing anything in your short existence on this planet.

And what if a dose did the opposite? Clarified things and inspired someone to get off their ass and accomplish, well past the duration of the high?
