most of what you said is fair, but as a Taoist, I do not see a semi euphoric state as being a normal condition, or even a condition that can be a sustained for a long period of time. There’s a saying, that a strong wind does not blow all day.
With these rushes of neurotransmitters, the receptor density on our neurons changes to adapt to them. This is a truth that we all need to understand. This is how the strong wind ends.
I’m afraid that people will be obsessed with trying to sustain this type of bliss when a more healthy approach would be to look for a neutral state. Absent of the constant highs and lows.
- swatcoder 4y agoI admire your concern for people, but you might be getting a little bit ahead of the data when you start imagining others getting obsessed and develop your own fears for their sake. But I’d also mention, as a fellow student of balance, that it can be found amidst great highs and lows and not just in the absence of them. Acrobats exhibit tremendous balance. :)

- FollowingTheDao 4y agoThanks. Better now. Took a bunch of klonopin, managed to talk to a friend who is a therapist.
- mathgladiator 4y agoKetamine has a nice rate limiter of $500 per session and at most once a month. I just had a booster, but I can't imagine myself doing it again for a while. I do believe a neutral state is ideal, but that requires highs and lows to define. For a variety of reasons, it's very easy to get stuck in a down position for a variety of reasons.
