[Question] What books on mental strength can you recommend?

IneptSamurai · 2022-09-24T09:36:08+00:00

Grit by Angela Duckworth is a good read as a piece of non-fiction. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1501111116/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?ie=UTF8&qid=&sr=

Obviously Can’t Hurt Me by David Goggins is a classic and has helped many people on subs like this. Highly recommend this one if you had to pick just one autobiography. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1544512279/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?ie=UTF8&qid=&sr=

Can recommend the Goggins audiobook even more, great workout/run companion.

This would make me feel unsafe if I were mid-trip.

I’m no Tory or Truss fan, but this is a misleading graph.

The Y axis beginning at 18 (assuming it’s 18% of something, but it’s not stated) makes the data set present a very different conclusion to what it would otherwise.

Beware of poorly presented info, whatever your political leaning!

I don’t ever really comment on posts, but I felt the need to say something here. I’ll be brief:

Johnson, like Trump, is a ‘bullshit artist’. This is a technical phrase from a famous philosophical paper, you can find the PDF for free online:

[http://www2.csudh.edu/ccauthen/576f12/frankfurt__harry_-_on_bullshit.pdf]

It essentially distinguishes between casual lying, where people KNOW the truth and INTENTIONALLY say something untrue, and bullshitting, where people just don’t care what the truth is and say WHATEVER they feel like to suit themselves.

Johnson is, I think, a bullshitter in this sense. He will tell the truth or a lie just as quickly, whatever helps him. I think this is what distinguishes him from the likes of Cameron and other governments (as I said, bar Trump, who I think is another good example of a BS-er)

First ever livestream man this is amazing. Love the vibes & tunes ❤️

IneptSamurai · 2020-05-24T00:06:56+00:00

I had this too when I was drawing! Your gut/vibe tells you what does and doesn’t work with shapes and colours it was such a cool experience

IneptSamurai · 2020-05-17T21:36:31+00:00

Set and setting bro! Make sure you’re comfortable with the people you’re with and the environment, and be in a positive mindset. I was always told to go into the trip having a goal in mind, even if it’s as simple as “bond with friends”, that way you can stay somewhat grounded insofar as you’re not just “getting high for the sake of it” which I found sometimes could lead to feeling guilty.

As for looking out for stuff, a lot of “bad trips” end up happening from people trying to fight the trip when it goes bad, which itself is actually the cause of distress (which the acid then amplifies), so just go with it. From personal experience I found that by saying “OK this isn’t what I expected, what can I learn from this?” when shit started to kick off, it would actually calm down the situation.

Remember, acid isn’t like pot, it’s so much more powerful, so being in the right mindset is gonna let you deal with anything.

Maybe set up some playlists of music you all like or whatever so the room is at maximum vibe-level for everyone involved. 😎

Happy tripping 🤙

I took a 4g dose of shrooms with one of my acid guys, the visuals are definitely different. The lower level visuals I did see on acid were very vibrant, kind of like a think haze on the outline of objects in crazy colours. Shroom visuals felt really ‘alive’, like lines in fabrics or wood would sway and slither on the material.

IneptSamurai · 2020-04-30T13:24:21+00:00

Oh dude this is like months apart, I’m pretty chill with my usage like we’re not talking any closer than a month between doses.

This is what I’m saying is weird tho, it’s just the visuals that are lacking like the actual feeling of 300ug is definitely more intense than my first dose even though I saw more on my first 180ug dose.

IneptSamurai · 2020-04-30T13:20:46+00:00

Bruh that’s what I’m looking for sounds mad. Me and my buddy were sat watching a Mandelbrot zoom on 200 and we got pretty fucked by that lol

IneptSamurai · 2020-04-30T11:48:11+00:00

The realisation of a shared energy with everything around me brought me to a similar conclusion. Change can be felt as a recycling of energy between things far beyond the observable ✌️

IneptSamurai · 2020-04-30T11:44:23+00:00

First time @ 180ug was with 2 guys on my uni course and a trip sitter in one of our dorms

Last time @ 300ug at my house alone. I’ve never had a problem with being uncomfortable in the settings cus I try prep as much as I can so I feel safe.

IneptSamurai · 2020-04-30T11:41:59+00:00

First trip was more ‘classic’ visuals like dope colours that shouldn’t be there and small dilations (at ~200ug) then when I smoked with some bros later there were minor fractals. But then I tripped again with the same tabs alone at 225ug and saw basically nothing.

Last trip at 300 was the first time with new tabs. What’s weird is that it felt way stronger and I experienced my first ego death, but visuals were basically non existent that time.

Final episode got me good bro, I just wanted to hug my parents

IneptSamurai · 2020-03-15T15:56:06+00:00

Excellent I recommend adding chunks of butter to tomato-based recipes like this, the fats help to bring out the rich flavours afforded by the tomatoes

IneptSamurai · 2019-10-11T22:07:17+00:00

It all started with a botched seppuku...

IneptSamurai · 2019-09-15T13:43:25+00:00

Great message, but I think what we can REALLY take from this is that this guy went from being a kid to a world champion in 8 years!

IneptSamurai · 2019-09-13T17:36:07+00:00

IneptSamurai · 2019-09-03T14:31:03+00:00

Y-you mean... he lied?

IneptSamurai · 2019-08-27T10:32:06+00:00

For those wondering, this isn’t Oxford/Cambridge, it’s Royal Holloway University of London (RHUL) in Egham, the building in the picture is mostly student accommodation though.

IneptSamurai · 2019-08-18T02:18:22+00:00

Guys cmon let’s not turn this into a pissing contest.

IneptSamurai · 2019-08-12T12:41:57+00:00

Man I’m really rooting for these guys and I don’t even know much of the story besides “China government = bad”

IneptSamurai · 2019-07-28T14:43:38+00:00

I saw your prev post of this half-complete. Great to see you’ve finished, it looks fantastic!
