Ideas are like organisms. They defend themselves in a sense, acting through the human collective mind but somehow beyond it. They grow, resist, and reproduce. But one way in which they are different is that ideas live much longer lifespans than humans do.
For almost two months I've been living in Canada as I begin my graduate education in psychology at Queen's University. But there's a lot more to university than school alone... here I am spending time with my newest friends!! 💛
Stare into this photo for 60 seconds to contemplate your existence. Repeat the mantra "become the universe" four times as you gaze.
Amazing work!
The answer to herd immunity is 42.
Guess what I got guys
By far the most shocking thing about Fauci's emails is how many of them he answered.
If you get covid you are still "the research"
"1 in 100 people dying from Covid-19 doesn't concern me, but one in a million getting blood clots from the vaccine does!!"
When vaccinated people stop getting covid right before our eyes, the antivaccine position will crumble and vaccine confidence will be the highest it has ever been.
People who say they aren't antivaccine but pro-safer vaccines have a lot of explaining to do if they are against mRNA technology, especially considering its lack of adjuvants.
Merck is a manufacturer of Ivermectin. Here it is saying there is no justification for its use in COVID-19: merck.com/news/merck-sta… Please consider how strong a statement this really is: they make the thing. They have every incentive to push it out. They are choosing not to.

This is very interesting
My boyfriend got his covid vaccine yesterday and I can tell you the most prominent side effect is the inability to shut up about getting the covid vaccine

"During the collecting of the bark from several species of Virola, this Witoto assistant informed me that the Witotos of his father's generation ate pellets made of cumala [Virola] resin when they wanted to 'see and converse with the little people'." -- R. E. Schultes, 1969
Reaching and exploring these new worlds would then be as simple as lying down and inserting a canula to deliver the programmed infusion of the appropriate molecules...
Accessing a particular — never before seen — region of the World Space might ultimately be as simple as dialling coordinates into specially designed software to calculate the appropriate receptor stimulation pattern and generate the vector into a desired World Space location...
However, with a deeper understanding of how psychedelic molecules interface with the cortex's world building machinery, it might be possible to control this reconfiguration of the World Space Landscape such that any desired World Space location becomes accessible to the cortex.
Owing to the extreme complexity of the cortex, it’s not currently possible to design a molecule that will deliver the appropriate perturbation to restructure the World Space Landscape in a controlled way, gating access to particular regions of unexplored World Space...
However, the World Space landscape is truly vast and it’s likely we’ve only just begun to explore its vast and practically limitless terrains…
The DMT experience is an entirely new “behaviour” of the cortex, represented by a set of states entirely disjoint from those representing the normal waking world, and elicited by this temporary restructuring of the cortex’s World Space landscape...
However, when you smoke DMT, something quite different (and remarkable) happens. The world isn’t merely altered, but is replaced by one altogether stranger. It seems that this flattening of the cortex’s attractor landscape is merely a transition phase…
As such, the cortex is able to reach formerly disfavoured states and explore the landscape more freely: the subjective world becomes more fluid and dynamic as the structure and identity of objects change before the eyes.
Studies have shown that, when you take a psychedelic, such as psilocybin, the attractor landscape flattens, meaning the “energetic gap” between high and low energy states is reduced...
Your cortex is constructed as a mosaic of cylindrical structures built from these neurons — these are your cortical columns...
This world model is constructed as a complex unified pattern of neural information by your cortex, which is itself an inordinately complex network of neurons...
The most familiar of these worlds, the normal waking world is, in modern scientific parlance, *a model of the environment built by the brain*. The purpose of this model is to provide you with a “simulational space” that you use to navigate and interact with the environment...
Being immersed in a world is a fundamental part of what it means to be human: whether you’re awake, dreaming, or at the peak of a DMT trip, there is always a world in every direction...
Switching the Reality Channel How might we use psychedelics to discover and explore entirely new worlds? 🧵 (art by Paul Robertson)
Do we agree with David Chalmers?? "Dreams never give you something absolutely new. If you dream of a head/body, it must be based on your having perceived heads/bodies... Or at least the shapes & colors in the dream world must be based on shapes & colors in the real world..."
Neil deGrasse Tyson appeared on The Highwire, an antivax video podcast, to “debate” its host, antivax propagandist Del Bigtree. This incident demonstrates why it is almost never a good idea for a scientist to agree to “debate” science deniers. respectfulinsolence.com/2023/04/17/nei…
