“Your past isn’t really your past, it’s just what you remember.” – Courtesy of some dank edibles.
I was tripping shrooms with someone, and at one point I just looked at her and said, “The Cosmic Joke,” which was an entirely new term to me but we somehow both got it immediately and laughed about that all night. I have no idea what exactly The Joke is, perhaps the tumultuousness of life. I do know that The Joke is on us, and we have the choice to laugh along with it.
I believe that is textbook definition cosmic humor
It felt that way, too. Never really looked into it, but that’s the feeling I had at the time. I should also clarify that all that I said verbatim was, “The Cosmic Joke,” with no elaboration. It was quite humorous at the time.
The archetype cosmedian
I had a tech idea, which filled a gap in the market, something the world desperately needs but no one has ever thought of doing it. Instead of more money grab addictive tech junk, this would help people and would benefit society.
It was on ketamine. I forgot what it was when it wore off. I’m truly sorry. I hate myself.
If it makes you feel better, I used to have similar insights when I took ambien to help me sleep. I would be so confident that the ideas were world changing tech, or fantastic ideas for a book, or whatever. Sometimes I would be smart enough to write them down.
The next morning, they were almost never actually good ideas. I can remember exactly one book idea that is actually vaguely interesting.
When under the effects of certain types of drugs, we’re far more likely to think of ideas as brilliant. It doesn’t mean they actually are, though.
Oh I know it was good. I often think from different perspectives when on ketamine and always I see things rather well. The only issue is my memory, sometimes I just don’t remember. But the moments I do remember are really good ideas, but sometimes they are too hard to realize (I had a great idea for an app, but I lack the programming knowledge and I don’t even know where to start). A friend of mine wants to develop it, some others are interested to get involved too. So other people like my ideas too.
My ideas make me create new music, helped me to start learning CAD and buy a 3D printer and laser cutter. Also some things I created were products of a ketamine trip. It helped me create a music tower for all my synths which is made to perfection and makes everyone’s jaw drop when I show them. People are even telling me I should build music studio’s professionally. It was all a product of my brain on special K. I created the perfect synth tower while I never even touched a synth 6 months before I started or knew how one works. Heres a picture. It’s foldable and on wheels. Perfect cable management and everything.
My autistic brain is capable of some nice things but in general it’s unable to perform as I want it to. But ketamine helps breaking through barriers and reach otherwise locked potential. Different perspectives, able to see the bigger picture while at the same time taking all the details into account.
I had taken an unmeasured handful of goldcaps and stems. My buddy used to sell them on college and he brought an entire sack for just eats on break. I laid in my bed while my buddy and my other friend exchanged stories while the imagery around my room evolved from scant to vivid. My fan became the root of a tree, and the blankets on me started lapping like waves with faces. For whatever reason, I stared at this scene and felt how all things are connected in life. My vision took me across a myriad of animal and insect lives to experience this. I felt this feeling with every cell of my body. Thats the moment I really realized why the call it the web of life.
The true meaning of life is appreciation.
Also, my dog is so stupid and stupid I love him he’s so me I’m a big stupid smelly idiot dog too
I’ve also discovered I am literally immune to bad trips. Something about my mentality just outright prevents spiraling. I’ve tried. I have a rhythm and it can’t be tripped up.
I wrote this down, this is verbatim:
I wonder if there are bad drivers in Star trek, like you’re just cruising along in your Galaxy class starship minding your own business and all of a sudden there’s like some fucking romulan right behind you with a bird of prey highbeaming you because you’re only doing warp 7 in a warp 5 zone.
You keep hailing them on subspace frequency telling them to go around, go around and they will not go around you no matter what.
What does a Starfleet captain do? There’s only one correct answer and it’s the same answer that I wish we could do it here on Earth which is to fire photon torpedoes, disable their life systems, board them, kill the survivors and rifle through their pockets.
But they won’t let you do that in starfleet for some reason
Needs a special kind of Captain to commit a war crime due to a traffic conflict.
Janeway?
Oh, Sisco does war crimes too!
Did that Romulan steal the bird of prey from a Klingon or something?
Romulans have bird of preys also
Huh, thanks. TIL
“I should take lsd less often”
yeah you should, your body builds up tolerance to it crazy fast! give it a month’s rest and then it’s perfect!
jokes aside, as probably Watts said - once you get the message, hang up the phone. Psychedelics can be both good fun and very insightful, but if you focus solely on the fun part that’s just escapism - and the drugs will likely and bluntly point it out to you
wish I could remember. all my best epiphanies go faster than I can even write them down.
We’re all just biding time for the trees
“The only thing we can hope to do, as we grow older, is to do it gracefully.” — Me!
I was drunk a total of one time in life, during my 21st birthday. My friend said drunk me tried to give away all my gifts like Oprah.
Also was bored and sleep deprived and thought “what if Charles Darwin is simply Socrates pulling a Clark Kent, I should make art of that” before drawing Nietzsche and Tesla in the same roles instead.
I invented a gelato store called gelottery. You order by number but you don’t know which flavor is which number and it changes every week. You have to just risk it or go see what other people have posted on our social media.
This is absolutely brilliant. Why does this not exist yet?
🤷 i have no money and i didn’t know how to make gelato. Also, my family doesn’t see the potential in it that you and i see.
I was DEEP in a K-Hole in my early 20s, laying in bed, floating through space, watching scenes from my past on tiles attached to a huge structure floating through space.
I realized that if I don’t like someone, I never have to see them again; I can just delete them from my life. If I don’t want to do things, I can just say no. If I don’t want to go somewhere, I can just… not. If I don’t like where I am, I can just leave any time.
It changed my life completely. I now only see awesome people and I stay home almost all the time with my partner and cats. I love it.
shit thats horrifyingly relevant
I’d legitimately rather be a housecat.
hell yea
That you can be at a city park, minding your own business while drinking a beer, and every now and then some totally sober Karen will come up all belligerent threatening to call the law, just because I’m drinking a beer.
For reference, the cops don’t care if people drink beer at our park, as long as nobody acts a fool and people clean up after themselves. Hell, even our city mayor will occasionally host events out here and he’ll drink a beer or three.
Pretty ironic that a sober person would be belligerent and threatening to a guy just sipping on a beer and not saying or doing anything except maybe browsing Lemmy or watching YouTube videos.
Like, how is it that me drinking a beer peacefully can cause random sober people to act a fool?
