I'll just leave and find the UFO thread which while based on little evidence, at least posits a cogent theory that makes a lick of sense. It's a consequence of UAPs' parapsychological associability. Hope this helps

Gary Nolan makes this point as well in at least one of his recent interviews, if you are looking for a scientific answer then inquiry will follow a particular framework. Once you step outside that then fully aware of that, i don't think it's really an issue. R&T opened the door by drawing a metaphorical line between "spirituality" (whatever that means in the context of being a priori unknowable by science) and evo bio. if i was to go there, i agree it's a philosophical question and not one answerable by biology and physics. in fact, attempting to recruit scientific inquiry in answering the most fundamentally important ontological question is foolish. occam's razor doesn't have infinite explanatory power.

man i drank a lot of tequila last night anyway i had a crazy rear end dream, where i went to a parapolitics/occult convention center and felix from chapo was there and sold me ketamine for $6 and a coupon from taipei i called a "chiang kai sheckel". so, i was tripping on ketamine, watching ppl that were lunatics, and also some actual intelligence agency people, more or less just openly talking about poo poo, like who would believe anyone that got info from the crazy con so they just blabbered everything. i went down stairs and it was a room full of people, and on the stage, some loa had mounted a bunch of people and were holding court. at one point I went lucid and rocketed the gently caress out of the solar system, and my awareness/sense of self dimmed the further I got from Sol, but I found alien cultures and began to associate to them, and was suddenly living their lives, fighting their wars, experiencing their bonds and social connection. then i found myself back on earth, at the con, I had dropped my wallet, i picked it up, a guy l icked my loving hand, then i woke up anyway don't drink half a bottle of tequila folks

Wrong. I'm allergic to it, making it the worst hard liquor by a country mile (I'm not allergic to any other kinds. I hear you asking, what about mezcal? Are you allergic to mezcal? I'm not sure. I don't think so.)

Hooplah posted:can you conceive of any outcomes in this setup which would satisfyingly convince you the experience isn't generated by the brain? NDE adjacent, but the first time i took a big dose of mushrooms, i had a shadowy spirit guide whatever with me during some of the trip, and this spirit guide would preface every revelation to me by making sure i understood that this experience was going to be, as you said, generated in my brain. it became kind of a running theme, i'd stop to see the fractals in the wood panelling and the little voice would lecture me on optic nerve structure vis-a-vis common hallucinatory patterns. also the spirit guide kind of had the voice of stephan merchant? after that the guide seemed really eager to discuss biblical prophets, so i redirected my trip outside, where it was early spring at 4:30am and it had just rained

if you're not arguing with demons that are trying to attach to you, or being shown occult secrets, or interacting with a spirit guide, the problem is that you didn't take enough psychedelics

Most of my shroom trips have been chill but I got stuck in a thought loop about thoughts on my first go with them. When I started coming up I started evaluating the existence of objects in the room and realized they're always realized thoughts (stupid and sophomoric but I was young). So the TV was a composition of thoughts that we made real and so on. It was my first I guess proper realization that consciousness will always obfuscate objective reality, or perhaps that objective reality as such is itself just realized thoughts*. Anyway I just kept repeating "Thoughts that's what it is. What's the question? That's the answer. Thoughts..." I did this out loud much to my friend's chagrin, who couldn't pose a question or concept without me responding "Thoughts, that's what it is! Thoughts. What's your question? That's the answer." He eventually grabbed me by the shoulders, shook me a bit, and said Please, I need you to stop. You have to stop. You're making me insane. And that was the end of it. *On an acid trip, which was my first acid trip and happened before this shrooms trip this came up in a very fleeting way I still think about often. What I'm getting at here is reality concomitant with thought and co-created by individualized consciousnesses of Mind at Large. A friend, who would shortly after this trip (because kf it) succumb to paranoid schizophrenia, was watching a fly buzz over the kitchen counter about which we were all standing. He said of the fly, "Just like this... just like this, you know? It's here because [mumbling] we all agree. That's why, because we're all saying it's here right now and poo poo."

The only times i've tripped a really huge completely black lizard appears for a little bit. There's nothing ominous about it and it's like we know each other, I got the sense he was keeping an eye out for me. He never speaks or does anything other than just kinda hang out for a few minutes. He also stands like a person and is pretty much a really tall guy who happens to be a black lizard.

endocriminologist posted:by Allah I love him He's good and seems to only come out near the start and only stays until he's sure i'm gonna be fine. The first time he stayed the longest, and that was the time he almost said something i think? But he doesn't really talk cause he doesn't have to? He can but doesn't. And I've never had a bad or particularly crazy trip I couldn't handle (or that many tbh). But he has 100% shown up every single time, even if it's only for a little bit. The Demilich posted:I wish I could buy mushrooms online from one of the newly legalized states. Same. It's worth doing unless there's some contraindication. I don't feel like I'd want to do it more than maybe once a year or two or something.

when i take acid, i always perceive something, it's always in the same spot, very very far away, like by distance, but it's also incredibly imminent, and it radiates euphoria, love, and all the good feels, and it incessantly makes me plot how to implement full communism i'm pretty sure it's God and God wants Marxism i wish i was joking but i'm absolutely not.

When I was dying and on drugs in the hospital I saw Optimus loving Primal standing in the corner of the ICU. I was absolutely sure he was there and nodding reassuringly at me. I am either proud of my brain for conjuring that so convincingly or grateful to whatever cosmic forces chose to reveal themselves to me that day in such a badass form rather than something lame like an angel or whatever I am however inclined to believe that there are less dramatic explanations for many of these experiences since our thinking and sensory input meats are kind of easily hosed with
