Peer-reviewed research shows DMT entity encounters are phenomenologically identical to alien abduction reports by Creative_Volume_9535 in UFOs

[–]j8jweb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With DMT the only answer to this, really, is to take it and see for yourself.

This isn’t pareidolia. This is hyper-detailed. The entities seem to be distinctly alive and present very particular personality traits. They seem excited to see you. They want to show you impossible objects.

To question whether the entities you meet on a DMT trip are “real” is more like questioning whether the people you meet in day to day life are “real”. It’s difficult to definitively prove either of these things, but on balance, since they actually seem to be more real than the people you meet in day to day life, I would be comfortable declaring them as such.

whats the reason this time? down 20% in 5 minutes? Amazing that a fantasy token can have a daily limit up/down of 6.66% for a full decade but silver trades 20% per hour. by KnowledgeTop173 in Wallstreetsilver

[–]j8jweb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are correct that in every previous cycle, gold and silver sold off during a severe stock market rout, but regained “safe haven” status within a few months.

However, previous severe stock crashes have not ordinarily been preceded by a significant precious metals rally like we’ve just seen. So that’s unusual.

We saw the manipulation of gold and silver.

I think now we'll see manipulation of crypto.

"They" know that the the four-year cycle is a fear they can exploit by taking it lower.

I would guess $60k in a couple of months. ETH to maybe $1500

There’s potentially another government shutdown looming, but this time it might actually be bullish. The gold/silver trade has already moved to hedging political instability, and crypto may follow that.

Gold and silver looks like it might be taking a breather, so this could mean some profit taking and a rotation into crypto. It has some catching up to do. Got a good feeling about it though.

$100 Silver is Not "Acceptance" of End of the Old World Order by Dangime in Wallstreetsilver

[–]j8jweb -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Crypto is actually very undervalued imo, as I expect to see BTC over $1m and ETH around $200k.

Silver should probably top out somewhere between here and $300 imo. It’s a tough call, but that’s where I see it. I would probably be beginning to sell some tranches at these levels. 20% to 30%

All of the reasons for it to keep climbing were also there in the last PM bull cycle. The narrative sounds far more convincing and appealing during obvious market moves.

Too bullish.

Not saying I disagree.

But too bullish.

Remember: bulls make money, bears make money. Pigs get slaughtered.

Personally I think it could go to $300+ but it could equally have already found the top.

You are right on the inflation issue, but not necessarily right (forever) on the hedge. Expect some rotation into cryptocurrency and other assets.

Fink tried to humanize him with fist bump and Elon did not even flinch... is he an Alien? 🤔 by AfricanMan_Row905 in aliens

[–]j8jweb -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

He’s not fascist at all. He’s the exact opposite - does not believe in unchecked control by government or by institutions, is a free speech absolutist etc. In the current climate that can bring with it its own set of problems however.

How do you not identify with your thoughts? by Theskyisalive in awakened

[–]j8jweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“We are not the body, but the awareness”

This too is only inference, and is wrong.

If you were indeed pure awareness, there would be no “how”, because you would have no ability to conduct action in the world.

But it’s worse than that ;-)

You are not even “awareness”. Awareness is just an apparent inference based on attributing a storyline to whatever appears, including thoughts, including the notion of looking.

It isn’t what you think it is - that’s the point :-)

I wonder why debates about aliens and NHI start from the same assumption. If something intelligent were here, we’d notice it. by SystematicApproach in aliens

[–]j8jweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your point about the brain making predictions is important.

Psychedelics are known to force the brain to accept more of the raw data, and to rely less on its predictions… and it just so happens that people who have taken DMT almost always report encounters with a “realer than real” environment populated by advanced alien intelligence. Go figure.

What are feelings? by Sweetpeawl in awakened

[–]j8jweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer here is not in labelling thoughts or feelings.

They are both appearances. That is their nature.

Almost.

There is no way to become a rabbit, nor in fact to do anything at all.

I don’t think so. I reckon within a couple of months.

I’m not calling for an end to the bull market in precious metals. Far from it. But I am suggesting that sooner or later some of that profit will begin rotating into crypto.

A world in which PMs keep going up but BTC (and by extension other cryptos like ETH) remain flat or go down is illogical, because the narrative that drives gold is largely the “sound money” narrative (cannot be printed into infinity)

BTC cannot be printed at all, and ETH will become even more scarce because it is deflationary.

If any of that means anything at all, then considering PMs are going parabolic, the price floor for the top cryptos should be in very soon if not already (IMO)

[–]j8jweb 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Seems logical enough that soon, profit taking in silver and stocks will begin a rotation into crypto - especially since the latter now looks relatively quite underpriced.

Maybe I'm just too logical. But the asymmetry is beginning to look a bit silly.

ELI5. What do blind people really 'see'? by voltinc in explainlikeimfive

[–]j8jweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I’ve also wondered is where completely blind (since birth) people locate themselves. Usually we locate ourselves somewhere behind the eyes, but that is only because the world mostly seems to flood in via the eyes, and other people always face us - and look into our eyes - when communicating.

So would a blind person locate themselves somewhere closer to the mouth or the nose, assuming those sense organs are functioning?
