      I'm pretty sure the cringe part is the "as the tool of mind expansion" bit.

        For someone whose mind is presumably so expanded I find it ironic that you struggle to conceive that different people have different experiences.

        He also doesn't conceive that maybe their mind was retracted rather than expanded despite the lack of specifics of "expansion" and adding a belief in own mind expansion being a contraction.

        Given that I have not mentioned of my history of drug usage in any form, you and the sibling commenter make a lot of uninformed assumptions. Since the dawn of time we know the effect of hallucinogens, so only someone that doesn't know what they're talking about, like you, would dispute this fact. But please do offer your invaluable insight on the matter.

        As someone who has taken a lot of drugs of all sorts, I also find it a bit 'cringe' to post a list of them with no context on your public website. To me, it comes off as a humblebrag for having some specific personal hobby, but without anything interesting to say of it. I view it like posting a list of the different ethnicities of women you've bedded. But I found the collection of quotes page decidedly more 'cringe.'

        >never taken an heroic dose of hallucinogen Please explain what is heroic about hallucinogens?
        Gooblebrai 3y ago
        It is called "heroic" due to the amount that you take. Usually taking >5g is considered a heroic dose.
        sph 3y ago
        You don't even need a heroic dose, to be honest, for your mind to be altered.

    How is that "cringe"?
  - throwuwu 3y ago
    It’s cringe that you think this is cringe.
  - sph 3y ago
    It's certainly more cringe to link to a post on someone's personal website and point at it, as supposed proof of their idiocy, for internet points. And psychedelics are fun (in moderation). Try some, they might expand your mind a little.

Yeah, I REALLY revulsed at this one: https://eftegarie.com/epub/ https://eftegarie.com/epub/ So, I am working on an e-book reader myself and I love e-books as well. But the problem with e-books is not that they don't have "smell or feel" but rather DRM issues. Unless you get all your books in a DRM-free e-pub format, they can be taken out of your library at any time for any reason. Also its nice to have something to pass down from generation to generation. I am personally an avid supporter of both digital and physical books, but to say that physical books are an "inferior" choice is incorrect because people choose those for entirely different reasons than they might choose a digital copy.

  DRM isn't an inherent trait of ebooks. Most of the time it is actually easier to find a copy of a DRM free book on Anna's Archive than it is to find a DRM copy... This is more an argument against DRM than it is against ebooks.
  - danjoredd 3y ago
    Good point. Thing is, most people get their e-books from Amazon which has a history of harsh DRM restrictions and removing them from libraries when licensing issues arise. I fully support DRM-free ebooks. That is part of the reason why I am working on my e-reader...once I am done I plan on writing a book repository software to work with it to make getting e-books easier. However the fact of the matter is that people who buy them DRM-free are a minority. The majority of people prefer the convenience of just downloading from Amazon over grabbing one from a DRM free store and porting it to their e-reader of choice. My complaints about DRM aside, my biggest problem with OPs article on e-books is thinking that one is "superior" to another, when different people get different formats for different reasons. Some may like the idea of being able to carry tons of books around with them on a tablet, or being able to search text. Others might dislike these features, and prefer physically turning pages. Neither is "better" than the other, and I dislike people that DO think one or the other is inherently superior for whatever reasons.
