It is easier to have pleasant feelings and a pleasant judgement of life if: - one has money and success and other things that meet the personal criteria of a good life. - one has none of the problems related to poverty and failure and frust

Very misleading headline. Vitamins are essential nutrients. It is well known that not enough of a vitamin or too much of a vitamin creates problems. Of course vitamins do not prevent or heal diseases that are promoted by aging or an unhealt

I wonder about your intentions. Stainless steel cutlery for a family costs about 30 euros. This is nothing compared to the cost of living in France. After 1 - 2 years, it is also cheaper than plastic forks and knives.

Multiple cultures are not like multiple dishes for a meal. There are important and often deadly conflicts (e.g. coercion, mutilation, poverty, war) related to cultural differences and (IMO bad) cultures themselves. I am in favor of a prohib

Important cultural differences (not festivities and language but religion and morality and ethics) means that people of a culture can not enjoy or even tolerate another culture. As European, I can only hope the world will adapt a secular ve

The main point was that bad reactions and bad trips should not be underestimated and down played as silly ego problems or rare personal weakness. Set and setting is important. Do not try psychedelics to solve problems. But set and setting i

IMO: - The government should sell all desired drugs for little or no money. - Drugs have no good use except as medicine by medical experts. Maybe you should apply as test subject for studies of the effects of drugs on humans. https:/&

P.S. Positive thinking or a therapy or the right medicine can improve much and might heal or remove a psychological or bio-chemical disorder. Still, psychedelics should not be used privately for fun or to solve problems.

Sounds to me like it put a crack in your ego rather than a crack in your sanity. This is what many so called psychonauts do not understand. A bad trip can be traumatic and can revive other traumatic experiences. https://www.ver

Yes. Too many articles and drug users promote psychedelics as harmless safe easy miracle drugs (for mental problems). Readers might ignore that positive studies were conducted by medical experts. AFAIK all experts warn against the private u

Targets for 2040 and 2050 are required. The problem is what targets will be determined for 2020, 2030, 2040 and 2050. Several Trillions of dollars have been wasted just to finance war in the Middle East. Support of the fossil fuel industry
