  • Seriously. And before anyone says “well you need a lot of money to do things”…

    There is nothing stopping you from getting out of your room and exploring. Even if it means a quick adventure at a park nearby. Or go to some small town you’ve never been before. Explore the local shops and parks. Go to a local art exhibition. Sit somewhere and experience somewhere new.

    None of this requires much money at all.








  • While I agree with the sentiment…there are workers who are fighting for things like safe working conditions, access to clean water, above poverty wages, etc. …and then there’s Billy Bob here drafting (and subsequently screenshotting and posting for all to see) a temper tantrum because his potential employer uses an operating system he doesn’t like. They’re welcome to turn down an offer for whatever reason (assuming this is even real in the first place), but I’m sorry, this is entitled as fuck.

    Why not turn down an offer because a company is supporting the military industrial complex? Or has ties with black market business? Where are those screenshots? Those would be much more apt reasons for turning down an offer, rather than this shit 😂.



  • Let me tell you a story. For as long as I could remember, I was always externalizing my happiness on set conditions.

    I just need more money, then I’ll be happy and at peace.

    I just need a new car. Then I’d finally be fulfilled.

    I just needed to be in a fulfilling relationship. Then I’d finally be whole.

    I just needed excitement. Adventure. Change in my life. Then I’d be happy.

    I just needed to find “meaning”. A purpose. Religion maybe? Some kind of metaphysical concept or something. Then I’d be happy.

    And on and on and on and on.

    And when I did achieve what I thought would finally make me happy, it was always momentary and hollow. And soon the background dissatisfaction would come back.

    Realizing that there was nothing external that could keep me at a consistent state of peace and happiness was one of the biggest realizations for me. There is nothing that can “make” me happy. Happiness must come internally rather than external. You must be happy to just “be”. Just your “being”, your awareness, should spark joy and happiness in you all the time. This is a difficult concept to put into words.

    For me, mindfulness and meditation allowed me to be aware of my thoughts and mental forms. Which allow me to more easily stay only as an “observer” to any negative thought forms. I had been mistaking the clouds for the sky. When they are in fact, only clouds that will pass eventually. And the sky is very beautiful and bright indeed, and is always there for you to access, even if it seems obscured by clouds.

    Once I was doing pretty good, I used psychedelics to enhance my understanding (shrooms, dmt mostly). This has allowed me to “be” with the universe itself. To realize that I “am” the universe experiencing this dance called “life”. And that’s exactly what life is. A dance.

    And then eventually, I don’t even need psychedelics to experience myself.

    Realizing this, I have more fun. I don’t take things too seriously. I am much more at peace and happy. I don’t attach myself to unnecessary wants. I still feel negative emotions, yes, but I do not attach myself to them. I allow them to come and go, and I can finally live life the way it was meant to be lived.



  • Yesterday I was just driving home from the grocery store and the sky was a beautiful shade of pink. Light snow on the ground driving by a state park. In that moment I knew everything was Ok and I was at a state of peace I never would’ve thought possible even 1 year ago.

    Ever since that DMT experience I had about 8 months ago, I have had more and more moments like this. And overall a profound sense of peace and joy. I have never been more grateful for a drug in my life.



  • I’ll never understand this pursuit for wealth and power. It really doesn’t take that long in life to figure out that accumulating material wealth is not what makes you happy. You get momentary pleasure from obtaining that new car, but it quickly fades and the baseline shifts, and you are back to being miserable. And the type of pleasure you get from it feels so fake anyway.

    Do these miserable cunts really think that getting the next billion dollars will finally make them happy and at peace?


  • At what point do brain cells develop the complexity for consciousness? Is there a specific number of brain cells which produces self-awareness?

    I have a difficult time believing that consciousness is some artifact that arises from material “complexity and structure”, and tend towards the nondual view of reality.

    But that is just my opinion, and what makes consciousness such a fascinating subject imo.
