Paradigm shift

[Cramulus]

I think altered states can be good antecedents of personal Black Swans - unpredictable events that profoundly influence the future.

I think there's a lot of personal development that substances can aid with. But it's just one path, and it leads to one type of personal development.

I really do appreciate, however, what Roger's saying about drugs being part of a trap set by the Con. -- They get you distracted by base things, they can make you complacent, and that they can become a type of prison.

Bingo.  While you're getting "enlightenment" by fucking with your brain chemistry, THEY'RE fucking you up the ass.

End of story.

I hate people who think drugs can't expand your mind. Fucking idiots.

I'm assuming you mean, expand your brain causing to bruise it as it pushes against the inside of your skull.

Mine does that without drugs.

The hate backs up into my skull, you see, and squooshes my brain.

In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

Actually, they take it so they can go to work instead of driving their SUV through a crowded shopping mall.

Hey, no derailing in my thread >: (

Excellent! At least someone here thinks I'm funny.

Um, she was laughing AT you, not WITH you.

TGRR,
Dispensing clues for the clueless since the Nixon Administration.

Rog has the right of it, beg pardon.  You see, the irony is rich, and I'm a po mofo.

Rock on, however.  I'm doing my damnedest to get a giggle or two out of the latest slew of trolls PD has attracted.

My guess is they're vengeful former mods from CoG. 

Fits with their version of "intellectualism".

I see... Your loss I suppose. Roger can't really prove to me that there is a difference between being laughed with and laughed at, can he now?
Maybe he could if he read all of my shit and figured out my "hidden angle"

I'm getting to trolling CoG as well, but not until you guys prove to me you can piss me off.

[Jenne]

Eh...I think you're just trying too hard after getting here too soon.

Lurk moar, read moar, assume less.  That's my advice.  It's commensensical, you'll have to pardon me again, please.
