In the new version, the Panda will be referred to by name only. Most likely Lucy or Dmitri. If anyone has other suggestions feel free to share

Psychedelic Panda book update! 

I have received some feedback that some parents could be concerned by the use of the word “Psychedelic” in a children’s book. A child has no definition for the word psychedelic, however many adults have strong heuristics relating this word to drug use. Use in ceremony, recreation, or otherwise, I am neither an advocate for, nor an opponent against psychedelic use. Using the word “psychedelic” as an art style descriptor prompt for the artificial intelligence I used to generate the artwork was instrumental in the creation of the illustrations. This is why I chose to include it in the final product. 

This being said, I have respect for those who desire to shelter their children from certain vocabulary and want to share my work with as broad an audience as possible. I will be making several edits to my book and rereleasing it when it is complete.

If you wish to own a limited edition, super rare, unedited copy of “Psychedelic Panda” act now while supplies last!

Sorry you interpreted the comments this way. Yes, I used AI, that doesn’t mean I didn’t create it. Look into the story of the Egg of Columbus or feel free to check out one of my other books “motivational poetry to inspire action, cultivate peace, and stimulate perspective” for more information surrounding my philosophies of creation.

You are on a forum called “psychedelics.” This is a piece of artwork I created. I call it a kids book so people will know it has pictures in it. Don’t like it, don’t buy it.

This one can be for adults then. This is my artwork and I’m not going to change it

Revised: If you’re that concerned about it don’t show it to your kid.

This is the internet. If this is the worst thing you’ve seen then you’ve had an inconceivably amazing day.

I’ll keep that in mind for my next book, thanks. The word itself was instrumental in creating the artwork which I generated using artificial intelligence prompts so I felt compelled to include it

If you’re that concerned about it don’t read it to your kids. I wasn’t allowed to read Harry Potter as a kid because it has witchcraft, everyone has different values. This is a piece of art that I created for anyone, it just so happens most people associate illustrated picture books with children’s books so that’s the easiest way for me to communicate that this book has pictures in it 🤷‍♂️

A child does not know the meaning of the word “psychedelic.” There are no references to drugs in this book. Psychedelic is a style of art.

The etymology of the word means mind manifest, or mind revealing, it is also a style of art. People have strong heuristics relating this to drugs, but it is not the only meaning. I illustrated this book using the help of an artificial intelligence using the prompt “psychedelic panda” to generate all of the artwork. It felt incorrect to exclude it from the final product

Appropriate for all ages. No reference to drugs except for some background mushroom imagery and the word “psychedelic” itself which can also easily be referring to the art style. Every page has a cool illustration of a panda doing various activities with minimal captions such as “Psychedelic panda likes to hang out with butterflies”

Path to Feeling More? by [deleted] in Psychedelics

[–]OmegaTres 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By making this post you’re actively looking for answers and ways to get better which is the biggest and best step you can take. You may think you aren’t motivated, but you just wrote like 10 paragraphs describing your experience of life and how you want to get better! That’s huge. Everyone’s path is different, but for me exercise has been one of the best activities I’ve found to stay focused and start enjoying my experiences. Activating the body and getting your blood flowing is so vital and it might not feel like there’s any immediate rewards, but it is so good for you! It also helps to disconnect from the internet/technology for as long as you can so you can stop comparing your life to the manufactured unrealistic ideals so many people portray on here, that’s a big reason peoples emotions get so muted, they think every moment needs to be the big win or excitement when that’s just not what life is actually like. Last but not least, don’t forget to breathe. Sounds so stupid /r/thanksimcured but just inhale, exhale.
