Hmm. Maintaining your health in the standard ways is really good. Please keep it up. I'll try, too.
But it bothers me a little bit when you seem put it as if LSD fails at being some kind of neo-caffeine that makes people smarter, more productive, etc.
It really does fail to do that. But that's not how it helps. It's not necessarily that it gives you the answers to the questions you're asking -- it's more like it helps you get perspective and perhaps realize you could be asking better questions.
To me it's as if we typically get kind of tunnel vision of the mind. Imagine if, for a few hours, you could zoom out from your current vantage point, see it compressed, as if from a great height, or maybe at high speed, and suddenly it's much easier to see structures that were much too big/subtle/slow to appreciate before. Or you at least get an inkling that such things exist and that you might want to look for them.
It's very frustrating to evangelize LSD sometimes because it probably will not help you in the ways you care about right now. But it very well may help you in ways you literally cannot understand right now.
- droopyEyelids 12y agoI'll take a step back even from your more modest assessment, and say that well-rounded people are better at programming (among other things) and an LSD experience can add a bit of roundedness to someone who already pushes their comfort zone-- and thats the real extent of LSD's benefit. Just another way to step outside yourself, with all the limited benefit and risk that entails.
