Reply to A more mystical and insightful psychedelic drug experience may be linked to an enduring reduction in anxiety and depression symptoms, according to new research. The study is the first to characterize subtypes of the subjective psychedelic experience and link them to mental health outcomes. by memorialmonorail

Thankfully, I have yet to have challenging trip because I don't play around with set and setting when it comes to psychedelics. But, I have enough evidence that life is so much easier to navigate while mezzo/macro dosing than when I am not.

Reply to Reason and emotion are deeply connected. Understanding the interplay between them can help us make better sense of the world but eliminates the promise of objective rationality. by IAI_Admin

If emotions and reason are deeply connected, then maybe we should stop placing so much on the promise of objective rationality, especially since the concept of reason itself isn't entirely objective in the first place.

Reply to The Persistent Problem of Consciousness: an astronaut's epiphany by simsquatched

I am beginning to think that human consciousness can be reconcilable if there is no attempt made for transcending human-ness; but, a serious attempt made instead for obtaining a good and informed human existence. I think this also means accepting that human consciousness is not fundamental and primary to all else; there is nothing exemplary about humanity and its particular kind of consciousness despite what our history suggests.
