It's not unreasonable for a person instigating something through negative posts to receive negative reactions in return. That seems self evident.

This is a great perspective on it, thank you! I'll be sending this around to a few folks

I have a personal theory that we enter into a "crisis" of some sort roughly every 5 years. Essentially 1-2 years of definition/growth/change, 2 years-ish of normalcy post change, 1-2 years of redefinition as things become old and others become new/interesting.

A perpetual cycle of shifting identity as we change internally and externally. I think it's a good thing to have and understand, but can be overwhelming as well.

I have zero evidence of this, it's just kind of based on my own observations. It's helped me to not be so hard on my self though when I find my tastes, interests, and identity changing over time.

I think there's a clear case for limiting the tactics currently employed by social media. They are using a clear strategy and deploying it to millions/billions through the use of algos. There are multiple ways to attack that and I encourage it before the world collectively loses its mind.

This, in my opinion, overlays very well with doom scrolling partisan entertainment on facebook/instagram. No one enjoys it, but the intensity drives them back.

There's nothing wrong with this. I'm glad they're doing it. I've seen too many people go feral and insane over misinformation. Good riddance.

They drew guns on her and her kids.

I'd say we should be outraged, but we're awash in outrage because the rule of law has become a one sided bludgeoning instrument for the government to suppress dissent.

I can't wait to get out of here. To hell with this place any more.

What a stark contrast to America. A country of "Personal freedom" that utterly entraps you to work and shames you as a socialist for asking for support from your government. Ironically, the cut throat work environment that has trained me to always keep an eye out for a better deal is drawing me to immigrating away from this country to the EU.

(This is a throw away comment to vent my personal frustrations. I'm quite afraid of the terrible responses this will draw from my fellow Americans so pardon me if I skip out form here.)

This right here was such an infuriating discovery for me. Math never made sense to me until I had a kindly old teacher who insisted she watch me write out every step of a problem (in community college). She pointed out that the logic was fine, I was just being sloppy with my notes which led to errors.

It was like a dam broke over night. Everything clicked and I was so pissed off that it took so long to find such a stupid issue. Better late than never I suppose...

Abandon this thread, all ye who enter.

Here's my issue with that:

Who are the service providers of the treatment and what training have they taken to do so? There is some available through folks who did original research (eg: John Hopkins) and now do talk and demo circuits but otherwise it's all largely undefined.

I'm paranoid of what this might lead to without strong community standards and ethics. A good first step, but lets hope it doesn't ruin it for others.

+ With (exceptionally) long term, positive effects when coupled with therapy before, during, and after strong psychedelic trips.

Ultimately, the research results (and anecdotal evidence) for psilocybin are too great to ignore. The next question is - How does it get legalized (which we're seeing the stirrings of) and who gets access to it and how when it is?

Cruz was putting on a disingenuous show for right wing audiences. This was a waste of time and further demeans the procedure, and congress.

1,400 acres none the less. The ACLU is right to sue, this seems absurd.
