Because I'm tired of arguing with nerds talking theory over matters that ultimately are experiential, I'll say the following two points and I don't mind being downvoted. 1) Whomeve…

The psychedelic experience is the most intense experience anyone can have on this planet, and it cannot be compared or described by anything else one has experienced in his/her lif…

Well, apparently we will all at some point :-)

There are several parallels depending on how far down the rabbit hole you want to go. Reports of feeling accepted and loved, and the "tone" sound in the beginning which seems to me…

DMT no. These are all coming from reports (and from Terrence himself) which I have no problem believing since I've witnessed my fair share of weird shit in general. I've only done …

It is weird because it is present in many "mundane" plants and in the human organism, allegedly released at the time of death. It lasts 10 minutes which is strange for a psychedeli…

Argentina 2001.

Agreed. I'm Greek and I predict machetes in the streets in less than 1 year. If not that, the far right rising into power. Not sure which is worse.

Allen Carr's Easy Way to Quit Smoking. Be careful cause it works like magic only the first time.

Doing ten pages of mathematics a day is not realistic. Unless you already have been doing mathematics for years and are still relatively young. How about a paragraph per day ?

All this seems like a slightly more socially accepted way of hating yourself and cutting your forearms. It's not a surprise to see goths in every single video/article about body ha…

But mindfulness is not about re-framing or answering back with an argument. Its exactly the opposite!

Dunno, maybe practice Zen Buddhism for a decade or two.

I think the author of this article confuses consciousness for the interpretation of things that occur in consciousness.

When I was writing the chips from nand2tetris in HDL I noticed how cleanly they could be expressed with function composition in SML. I dismissed the ideas as a bit weird, if cool, …

Actually, something akin to that is already being done. Take a look at this http://www.persado.com . The co-founder is a guy from Upstream (a Greek mobile marketing company)

Tibetan Buddhists and other weird occult folk knew about them for ages, and required years of training before approaching them as a subject. They considered them as highly dangerou…

It's just a larger scale of leaving high-school (or leaving any significant period in your life behind). Things, people, problems from back then don't bother you anymore and you re…

I think people commonly fear the process of dying (especially if its long drawn out and painful) than the actual state of being dead.

Apart from the foundational sleep well, eat well and moving your body I combine the later with nature and certain perceptional practices (largely of my own devising, but it's nothi…

I would say this would be the "smart way" to "disconnect from nature". My idea of connecting with Nature is with your senses and your body, not by tapping into some mobile app to w…
