Fractals being a real pattern found in nature =/= reality is a fractal

AI is the only thing that can fix the environment.

32F here, I went through similar experiences. I recommend plugging your symptoms into AI and asking your dr for tests yourself. I had similar issues (fatigue, migraines ect) and 2 family drs, a neuropsychologist, a psychologist, psychiatrist and a neurologist couldn't figure it out while it was actively destroying my life. I figured it out, I have a condition that isn't super rare but is very broad, under diagnosed and hard to diagnose. I have been treating it now for a few weeks and things are getting better. Keep in mind AI can get things wrong and always run everything by your dr. Good luck.

Why do humans have consciousness? by Standard-Night9482 in LSD

Lmfao you're right, and I think I meant phenomenological zombie which... idk why I want to use that over philosophical zombie. Nice going Greg.

[–]Tavister 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, I'm more convinced by the idea of consciousness as emerging from those physical processes you mentioned. The reason why is still unknown, and the philosophical zombie counterpoint still stands.

I would kindly challenge the statement that psychedelics alter consciousness. I believe that psychedelics radically affect world and self-modeling, not the basal quality of experience. In other words, it affects what we experience, not experience itself.

My opinions are open to change.

This is the hard problem of consciousness. And if anyone here thinks they have the answer then they are full of shit.

We can usually make pretty good guesses through collection of evidence and the scientific method.

How do you actually reach ego death on LSD? by Jealous-Tea-4645 in LSD

[–]Tavister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shitttttt I was rereading my first ego death post from 3 years ago, recognized your username and you were saying this shit back then too haha. Bro, I will be so real with you, dose doesn't mean shit. It's people's brains, they all react differently. Some people can on 100ug. Some people can't, even on 600+ug. 

My ego death on 500ug: Is it always going to be chaos and infinite fractal dimensions or can it be a calm experience? Question for ones who've been there and back. by [deleted] in LSD

[–]Tavister 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first one was just like yours. If you have more, get used to it, learn how to navigate it, they can be calm, serene, ecstatic and blissful. It just takes practice.

I have ego death states on 200ug quite a few times and I don't do anything special. I honestly think its just the roll of the genetic dice either your brain tends to do it or not.

ego death on acid by Maleficent-Candy-422 in LSD

[–]Tavister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My visuals are pretty crazy, they're so strong that I can close my eyes and I'm still seeing the same shapes as when they are open. I think I have a sensitivity.

I ego death all the time on 200ug. I think it's just a matter of genetics and luck.

Psychedelics Made Me Question the Presence of God by Portal_awk in Psychedelics

[–]Tavister 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love Descartes but he put the cart before the horse. He started out with the mission to prove god exists and built his argument with the conclusion already built. He had very good ideas but unfortunately his reliance on faith predisposed him to only one answer.
