  • It’s not news, it’s infotainment.

    It’s not a lottery, it’s sweepstakes.

    It’s not a media company, it’s a technology company.

    It’s fucking crazy how we write laws to govern entities, but we miraculously ignore any potential for legal criteria to define what constitutes each entity. At minimum, enough so that those entities can reclassify themselves with a wave of the hand to avoid the regulation.

    Fucking word games. That’s what our legal system has succumbed to. The same kind of shit your parents used to yell at you for.



  • Classes need coherency and leverage in order to make demands, which is typically done by coordinating leadership. We have leverage, but how are we supposed to realize any of it without class coherency? If you can’t, then it sounds more like you’re aiming to create a new political party… right?

    In another world, the government would help curate a coherent working class by strengthening and encouraging workers unions and coalitions between them.










  • That one was sadly still on my bucket list prior to having left the scene; I may never experience it now. Though, I had quite the experience with 5-meo-mipt. Inspired by Alexander Shulgin, I chose administration via vaporization and inhalation. It’s probably the most intense psychedelic trip I have ever had by far… and my buddy and I used to take 10g of golden caps at the beach all the time. A little bit of that stuff goes a long way.

    Interesting too, the chemical transitions from a translucent white to a deep profound red after vaporizing it. Quite the effect.





  • Outlooks, is that what’s inside of me?

    See, I’ve been thinking a lot about this. What am I? What aren’t I? Am I composite or irreducible? These are hard fucking questions.

    I think about why I care in the first place… unlike dogs, cats, kangaroos… the behavior of these animals don’t demonstrate contemplation. It’s as though they exist in a sort of “spotlight” consciousness—aware and responding to the spotlight of qualia in their field of awareness. Why are we different?

    Psychedelics are rather interesting because they have this profound capacity for instigating the feeling of deep insight. How is it that some mushrooms can make me feel like everything suddenly makes sense, when I have not actually learned anything during my trip?

    I get the feeling that the quality of an insight can be approximated somehow, and the brain likely uses this to make me feel the “aha” moment I know from true insights. That’s to say, insight is a feeling—and it can be triggered independent of actual insights having occurred. Fascinating idea, no?

    How might my brain approximate the quality of an insight? Well, if I’m not full of shit about this, then I think the answer here is an architectural one. Something about the structure of concepts should, perhaps necessarily, allow for related concepts to be graded by the quality of their relationship. For example as when you learn a new form of mathematics, as your brain realizes the strength of connection to prior learned forms of mathematics, it can make you feel “aha.”

    The “aha” feeling is tethered to my reward incentive, which helps structure my self-prescribed purpose. I want to learn, understand, grow… these are all endeavors that help mankind, because it is in mankind’s personal interest to levy control over nature. It makes sense, in this way, that I am how I am.

    But outlooks inside me? Hmm… I need to think on your theory more.
