One time while on acid I went to the store to buy candy and the guy in front of me in line was changing some money, but the cashier had run out of a certain denomination coin. And they both simultaneously turn to me and ask if I have x amount of x coin on me and could we possibly do this convoluted three person change maneouver? I had to just leave my candy on the counter and get the gently caress out of there. My heart starts racing every time I think about it lmao.

Take 1 tablet by mouth daily.
I did a shitload the night Trump was elected and my brain went BAD MUST PURGE and I spent the 30mins after his win hunched over the toilet puking.

HOWEVER the worst experience was trying to order a sandwich from Subway. I have tripped thousands of times on dozens of different substances and can mostly handle my poo poo real well. Something about asking someone to make me a lovely sandwich and then choosing what to put on it broke me. "What would you like?" sent me into hardcore decision paralysis so I just stared at them confused. I gave myself a little pep talk in my mind (hopefully lol) and went for it. I ordered sauce first, veggies second, followed by cheese and meat. A sandwich is just a pile of stuff so you should start at the top right? I COMPLETELY FORGOT BREAD. They asked what bread I wanted and I just kinda stared at them for what felt like an eternity as my brain went "wtf is bread? is that even a word?" I checked the menu and sure enough it was! I chose the top one because this was already way too difficult. The bread triggered the part of my brain that knows how Subway works, put ??? on there in the correct order, got home and realized I didn't really want a sandwich.

They have that, it's called estrogen.

Fun fact: estrogen does not directly improve human cognition, but instead supports a symbiotic relationship with Soccus felis, which is the real driver of increased programming performance.

This will definitely be used for good, and not to make skinner boxes as addictive as possible :dumb:

Other tricks to infer cognitive state involved quickly flashing visuals or sounds to a user in ways they may not perceive, and then measuring their reaction to it.

Another patent goes into details about using machine learning and signals from the body and brain to predict how focused, or relaxed you are, or how well you are learning. And then updating virtual environments to enhance those states. So, imagine an adaptive immersive environment that helps you learn, or work, or relax by changing what you’re seeing and hearing in the background.

Sorry, but the people have spoken.



I took an attention psychology course in university as an undergrad and the professor told us about the baseball legend Dock Ellis, who dropped lsd and threw a no hitter game. I decided to drop acid an hour before the final exam in that course to emulate the same success and ended up with a 100% score.

Edit: the moment I saw the power cord tethered to the Apple VR goggles I knew it was going to be dogshit.
