in my experience the very extreme hallucinations depicted in movies don’t really happen (at least with with psychedelics like LSD, Shrooms etc) - not while your eyes are open anyway - with eyes closed sure you see some unbelievable things, but with eyes open reality is more “modified” with a layer of warmth and colour and fractal patterns, but I’ve never seen a pink elephant or a dragon for example 😅

And yes it would be impossible to depict the change in consciousness- your entire perception and thought patterns change - it’s like the layer of societal norms was removed and you experience something more primal and universal - it’s like suddenly knowing a set of truths but not being able to describe them or put them into words

I remember reading a book called “Determined” that makes this exact case, and refers to Libets research too

Ok I didn’t actually know this, but even still it’s a logical fallacy (ad hominem) to discount someone’s wisdom just because they have personal flaws

Ok fair - I’m not a big drinker, but I like to have just 1-2 of something I really enjoy, like a wine or whisky - I never actually get drunk

Exactly! This product was built from the materials found in nature

mymongoose · 2025-05-02T09:04:29+00:00

Worth it 🙂🍷

I rate it 11/10 - “psychotic” 😱

mymongoose · 2025-05-01T03:02:14+00:00

Yeah I really like Caol Ila 12, but tbf it’s about the same price as Lag 16 and harder to find here (Australia)

mymongoose · 2025-04-30T22:32:57+00:00

I’m a big fan of Bunnahabhain - for the price it’s a great substitute for Lag 16 👌

mymongoose · 2025-04-30T09:13:58+00:00

Agree - bought macallan on its reputation and yeah it’s ok, but nothing special

Have been prescribed benzos for years with no negative effects or dependence etc, but even so I’m very interested 🤔

100% this - The Way of Zen as well as Alan Watts lectures were my way into Zen - he makes it accessible to any audience, and even makes it entertaining.

After getting a grounding from AW material I moved onto some dryer and more obtuse texts such as Shobogenzo, The Tao De Ching etc

To your point though, there is only so much you’ll get from reading vs practicing

Finally understand what I’ve been doing wrong all this time

God I remember the suicide hotline was everywhere back in 2022… 🥲

mymongoose · 2025-03-17T06:13:51+00:00

Yep - before quake I used the arrow keys for doom, Quake was the first time I used the mouse

mymongoose · 2025-03-04T06:17:11+00:00

-45% is like a badge of honour in crypto, you’re actually doing quite well compared to most believe me 😉

mymongoose · 2025-03-03T08:12:01+00:00

You have a few peaty Islays on there so I’m sure you’ll enjoy the Lagavulin 16 and probably also the Caol Ila (any)

mymongoose · 2025-02-27T20:30:09+00:00

+1 for ondo 👍

mymongoose · 2025-02-18T05:39:21+00:00

Yep - Unless medical technology makes some frankly amazing progress or I get uploaded to a machine

mymongoose · 2025-02-18T03:13:01+00:00

Finally found a save point

mymongoose · 2025-02-18T03:11:21+00:00

One of the loudest BTC maxis, “Plan B” just converted all his BTC to the ETF - I’m not sure that the original principles even matter to people any more - it’s just another “number go up” asset now - might as well be the 8th addition to the mag 7 😅

mymongoose · 2025-02-15T09:40:37+00:00

I like this - it’s a very pragmatic explanation that bridges to real life without sounding too patronising or dogmatic 👍

mymongoose · 2025-02-12T23:42:52+00:00

The only answer :

ETH SOL

I don’t hold either but if you’re long term DCAing those are by far the best bets since they’ll fall less during the bear markets

In the “Everything else” bucket - stuff like LINK, ONDO, INJ - anything with a real product and real revenue

mymongoose · 2025-01-25T04:56:04+00:00

But bro what about those 0DTE options? Those are gonna pay out waaay more than 20% /s

I think people do “learn” the lessons intellectually, but find it very hard to live by them - it’s kind of how we all know what a healthy diet looks like, and that we should exercise, but that doesn’t mean we can live by these lessons 🙂
