I was reading this interview with Charli XCX and I stumbled upon this:
Nobody could accuse Charli, 22, of being average. Having begun her career aged 14, playing East London warehouse raves accompanied by her parents (her dad was baffled when a clubber attempted to sell him MDF, until Charli explained that it was actually MDMA), last year her brand of bratty synth-pop went stratospheric.
Your brain’s inherent flexibility is highest when you’re in your mother’s womb, after which it gradually declines. If you get to expose it to things like MDMA when you’re a teenager at a party with your father and it is still relatively flexible, then you’re going to move it towards a very socially connected manner of approaching the world. Your world will revolve around people.
If you don’t get that opportunity, if your parents force you to spend your days memorizing Latin words or other crap so you get good grades, if you retreat to discord channels with esoteric memes because you can’t connect to the people you meet in real life, then your brain just becomes wired in a different manner and you probably end up surrounded by low status white males who want to complain about “climate hysteria”, brown people and/or Jews. I had this realization a few years ago at a New Year’s party and it just stuck with me.
Magic is the alteration of reality in accordance to will. And drugs are ultimately just a very potent form of magic, as is all science. A witch will log off tumblr, go to her local hippie store and buy a pink crystal to introduce more love into her life. Others will buy a magical pink crystal that introduces more love into your life and refer to it as MDMA.
Often it goes wrong, you’ve probably all seen the meme of a Mesoamerican 6d demon rearranging some turbonormie’s mind on Ayahuasca to quit their tech job and become a circus pole stripper. But what goes wrong just as often, is not taking drugs. You can see Japan and South Korea as good examples. The teenagers don’t have drugs available so they just kill themselves.
We’re all getting constantly infected by SARS-COV-2. Even if you think you’ve never had it, there’s at least an 86% chance you’re wrong. It causes serotonin levels to plummet. As a subjective idealist I think this contributes to just altering reality at a fundamental level, disconnecting people everywhere from each other. Cannabis taken in small amounts increases serotonin levels, in large amounts it leads it to plummet.
I am in a sense, a Western cultural supremacist. The other day I read about how we now have an entire demographic of African girls in the Netherlands, who were mutilated by their own family. It’s not so much the case that I want drugs to be legal. No, I want a kind of aggressive cultural imperialism, a kind of hippie supremacist ideology.
I want to have cannabis, mescaline cactuses, psilocybe mushrooms, MDMA and LSD dropped from airplanes and drones above non-Western countries. I want Singapore to just be drowned in cannabis and psilocybe mushrooms, to the point where you can’t open your window because the mushrooms and cannabis flowers will just pour into your house.
I am unironically a Bush era neocon, who wants to shove Fukuyama’s end of history down your throat. And once I have succeeded at that, I want to forget about everything and just be happy and dumb.
Dude, Bush Jr was horrible.
He spent trillions of dollars and killed a million people to make our national security WORSE. And it ultimately led to Europe being flooded with Muslims and Africans.
But Biden/Harris may have actually surpassed Bush/Cheney as worst ever.
Btw the 18 year-old Indian kid just won the world chess championship! Ding made a terrible mistake just before tiebreaks and suddenly it was over.
And the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department is reporting all kinds of weirdness with these “drones,” such as 50 of them “coming in off the ocean.”
Love is not an emotion, it’s not a chemical, it’s not a substance, it’s not a fluid, you can’t buy it with money, you can’t induce it chemically, it’s something spiritual and entirely transcendent to this world. To truly love someone, in part, entails valuing their freedom and well-being in a way that’s entirely independent of how you feel hedonically. It’s important to understand this, because when the machine elves manipulate the fabric of reality to convince you that they can give you love through a drug or in the form of a hedonic experience, you won’t get trapped within their world by blindly trusting the devil.
When you believe that you’re a machine, entirely subject to the whims of biology and natural selection and to the rules of biochemistry and neuroscience and mass-psychology and economics and so on, you become more like a machine as a result. You abnegate your own transcendent free will through belief. Our true nature is actually that of spiritual beings whose existence transcends this reality – we are not our bodies, we are housed in bodies temporarily and have existed before this life, and will continue to exist afterwards. This is why there will never be a materialist explanation for phenomena like qualia, or dreams, or the experience of being conscious more generally. These things do not have a materialist explanation, the material world is a subset of them rather than the other way around.
You have an enemy in this world, and it wants you to be more like a machine. It whispers lies to you, through the glowing screen in front of your face and in other ways through the fabric of the industrial-capitalist society you live within, that everything is a machine, and so are you. It does this, because a machine can be programmed and controlled, and psychopaths are always driven by a need to control and dominate others. It wants to assimilate you into its machine-world, so it tells you that you are nothing more than a biological machine living within a social machine that exists inside of a world-machine, and that the only way to view the world around you is to relate to it mechanistically. That if you want love, you have to alter the neurochemical pathways in your brain. That if you want freedom, you need to be in a certain socioeconomic strata and take a particular political stance and adhere to the norms of a particular social group. That if you want justice, you need to cast a certain vote in a ballot box and follow the laws of a particular government and appeal to the right bureaucrats. In this way, everything becomes just another output that is accessed by interacting with a particular machine in a certain way. This is why I say that modern people believe that god is a vending machine that dispenses blessings in exchange for devotion. You all have a degenerated view of god, of the world, and of yourselves. Cast aside the machine. Your values, your feelings, your hopes and dreams are not just the result of what ratios of neurotransmitters exist in your brain or what haplogroup you belong to or what socioeconomic background you come from – they come from a space that is ineffable and sacred. To reduce everything to a mechanical operation is to negate what is sacred, to debase it.
I don’t know why I’m posting this, I think something in your post must have triggered my autism.
You are correct and I’m glad you pointed it out.
But I don’t think we contradict each other here.
We’re both just observing the elephant from a different angle.
I prefer the people who spent their teenage years getting into esoteric memes as teenagers, and then got into psychedelic drugs in their twenties. If you do drugs as a teenager that seems to make you a artist, but also a naive libtard.
Didn’t mean this as a reply.

>If you do drugs as a teenager that seems to make you a artist, but also a naive libtard.
Do you never wish you could wake up as a naive libtard?
Nah. I’m kind of a bastard.
> Do you never wish you could wake up as a naive libtard?
I often do.
I say this because it seems to me that libtards “know which way the wind blows”, they have a social-sense which intuitively knows where to place their energies and efforts (on the strong horse).
The “strong horse” being the “Machine”, “Society,” “Deep State” that weirdos and contrarians have railed against since time immemorial.
Weirdos like us are the only ones who insist on something called “truth” which is meant to serve as a bulwark against the “herd behavior” of our fellow man.
But what if there is no rock-solid “truth” with a capital “T”?
Then we are just fools.
Our lives would be far easier and more pleasant if we “went with the flow”
Some might object, “But no, you may get away with believing lies and enjoying friendship and camaraderie and sex, but the Truth and Reality will eventual show itself in the midst of your self-delusion”
To which it could be said: “so what? My life is just a blink of an eye in whatever centuries-long arc of Truth you are proposing”
Gene Simmons once said:
“Life is too short to have anything but delusional notions about yourself.”
Rintrah, do you follow Sam Kriss? His latest article on hippies seems right up your alley.
Is this just a matter of life experience, or are young people losing cognitive capacity faster than old people?
“You know those scam calls where the caller— who often possesses a foreign accent and a frantic manner of speech— claims to be from the IRS? It’s often thought that most victims are vulnerable senior citizens, but a surprising new study finds that millennials are significantly more likely to fall for their tricks.
First Orion, a telecommunications solutions firm, surveyed 1,000 Americans of various ages, hoping to learn the true prevalence and nature of calls in which the caller claims to be from the IRS. . . .
Among those surveyed, it was found that nearly 40 percent had been contacted by an IRS impersonator.
Overall, 73 percent of millennials, 83 percent of gen Xers, and 84 percent of baby boomers reported to having received any sort of scam call.
Although millennials were more likely to escape pesky phone charades, they were six times more likely to provide their credit card information (2.4 percent) and twice as likely to provide their social security number (1.6 percent) over the phone.” (https://studyfinds.org/millennials-irs-scam-study/)
Six times!!!!!!!! It was not a huge study but it wasn’t a tiny one. Phone scamming is clearly a profession with promise in years to come.
What is going on in Finland????

You have to scroll down a little. It’s the kids and the young people.
1:18:54 “things don’t affect people they way they used to. It may be that 10 years from now people will pay 10,000 dollars to be castrated just to feel something”

Bro this is pretty weak. Western civilization is dying.
We still produce beautiful things. But twerking and drug taking are sign of terminal decline.
