If you can't discover #2 without drugs... I don't know if you're really understanding anything.

  Yeah, I find this whole meme quite weird. There seem to be a fairly large group of people that are convinced that some or other drug will 'open up' the minds of the populace, we'll all somehow 'realise' that we're being screwed by the man, suddenly everything will be awesome and we'll all live in harmony. It's about as convincing as "and they all lived happily ever after" at the end of a fairytale.

    i am one of those people who believes that, only I don't think it's as simple as 1. take drugs, 2. figure out we're slaves. 3. ??? 4. Profit. There are a great number of activities which slowly, in turn, help reveal that all power is within ourselves. Basically, any activity which takes us by surprise, including psychedelics but also including extreme sports, international travel. Hell, reading a good book. and it's not as easy as realizing it to get out of the trap. that's like saying is easy to become an entrepreneur. it's about spending the rest of one's life devoted to seeking reality....

      Personally I think that psychedelics, particularly the very famous ergot derivative, are very good at inducing a false sense of the profound. >>All power is within ourselves >>Spending the rest of one's life devoted to seeking reality... And these are exactly the sorts of meaningless profundities I was talking about!
