I am a cognition scientist. When you do drugs, your brain science index significantly decreases and your electrochemical bleep bloop is outside neural parameters associated with neutrino detection gland output quantum entanglement holographic temporal resonance scalar waves.
BUT WHAT DOES THE PEEPEE IN THE POOPOO MAKE???
This is simultaneously really funny but also really depressing that there’s a significant chunk of the population that needs to take extremely powerful psychedelics just to come to the conclusion of “I hate my job.”
Self-deception is a hell of a drug, but high doses of psychedelics have a way of cutting right through it.
Silicon valley drug dealer’s have tough jobs if this is who they have to deal with. I dunno if I could interact with this human and you can tell he’s the talking type.
Based on my one experience i’m pretty sure shrooms influence your brains pattern recognizing and association bits so you’re seeing stuff in novel ways. Like things melt together bc the part of your brain that recognizes patterns and links them to things you know isn’t quite working so instead of seeing an apple you’re seeing shape and color and texture and not immediately linking it to “apple” so you really are sort of experiencing it for the first time.
That’s the high temperature annealing.
This is exactly what I’ve read on a study researching the reasoning behind LSD effects lol, how are you always posting the smartest things
Freakishly high verbal intelligence and a chronic illness that leaves me with a whole lot of time to read.
“Ew empathy, no thanks, none for me please” - these dorks
brb going to local water plant of silicon valley and dumping in lsd
that would be awesome… standing by to report on the effects as they unfold
why do they talk like this? like, i’m enough of a stupid asshole that i understand what they’re saying, but what does it do for them to rp a dr who villain with a thesaurus? if you read books by smart people, or even by stupid people with degrees, this isn’t a normal mode of expression. do they actually think that everything is Just Like Computers or is it a pretense? and if they do think that, why are they universally so stupid about computer things? successful, talented, and intelligent software devs, even if they happen to have reactionary politics, don’t act like this. it’s unique to the ssc/miri/effective altruism perverts.
Marvel, the BBC Sherlock show and other pop culture representations of intelligence being demonstrated through overly verbose soliloquies.
Because it works and it works well. Most people aren’t us
They have a vision of themselves as STEM geniuses, even though many of them have no real background in science or higher math. Because they think those are the only things that could possibly matter, it’s important that they signal that they know lots and lots about them, even if that knowledge is really shaky and not very sophisticated or deep. Using phrases like this is a kind of in-group signaling.

Never before has an opinion been so discarded so fast

Yeah here’s a cat who glanced at the Wikipedia article for PCR once

Maybe because I’m already woke enough, but I did ayahuasca and didn’t changed me a bit. It’s was a great high, but wasn’t really that different than other LSD or MDMA parties (except for the music, that was a live band singing traditional afro-brazilian religious music, instead of EDM)

His idea seems to be that psychedelics randomize your neuron connections (either metaphorically or, judging by some of the follow-up posts, possibly literally), and that if you’re an Alpha Tech Company Founder, that’s almost certainly going to result in worse performance because you’re already close to Ultimate Human Performance.
This makes the tech bros commodify psychedelics trend seem awesome actually
Eh I kinda get it, some of the work I do is fun and rewarding and brings meaning (such as it is) to my life. However I had a dalliance with some strong devil’s lettuce about a decade ago that led to a hospital visit and general de-realization and such and it did send me through a “this is all pointless and stupid and life is a joke” nihilistic spiral for a few years. I’m now in a fairly happy place and wouldn’t want to risk fucking that up by going on a wild trip.
Weird; for me it was like it temporarily shut down the part of my brain that was sort of controlling which aspects of my personality/self were “allowed” to be at the forefront, and all of a sudden it was like I had these disparate personality fragments all competing for the proverbial driver’s seat. Well, that and some really bizarre memory recall episodes back to my childhood – vague sensations of being in places like my old bedroom when I was a kid, etc., like a tarp had been lifted off some old memories that were tucked away in storage.
At any rate, the aftermath of that experience was the realization that I had been actively suppressing feminine aspects of my “self” (due largely to conditioning that was quite literally beaten into me as a kid) and that got me to more closely examine my relationship with my own gender identity. In other words, take enough D8 and/or D9, and you might just come out the other end of it realizing that you’re trans. lol
