Even in the realm of unverifiable anecdotes, there is still a difference between a first party anecdote and a third-party anecdote. In the first party anecdote I only have to put my trust in one person, where in a third party anecdote I have to trust 2-to-infinity people.
For whatever reason, negative anecdotes seem to be overwhelmingly third person, at the very least all the ones in this thread have been.
- generalizations 6y ago> negative anecdotes seem to be overwhelmingly third person Based on the anecdotes in this thread, I'm getting the impression that when you have a really bad trip, you don't make it back to tell the story in the first person. The only people left to tell are the observers.
- eurasiantiger 6y agoThat’s preposterous. Are you a stock shill trying to devalue the rising psychedelic industry or something?
- Talanes 6y agoThe observers also have not made it to this thread. They would be second party. We are hearing from people who have heard from observers. At least two links of trust necessary.
