Now I'm just a humble weed farmer but I've seen "A Boy and His Atom" and it looks an awful lot like waves/vibrations to me. And I'm pretty sure some researchers have seen Lithium atoms collapse into waves near absolute zero. And we know that these waves and particles are effected by observation. And I've also smoked a bunch of DMT and eaten mysterious varieties of mushroom. That's why I believe in m⛤gick.

I've smoked DMT and eaten plenty of mushrooms, and I don't believe there's anything supernatural. And if I did, saying it's because of drugs would be a terrible argument for it being true.

Yeah! It's a fun experiment to ask why a certain molecule dancing on a serotonin receptor makes such a crazy experience occur, but by no means does it indicate magic to exist or anything like that.

I've eaten pounds of cubensis (in total) and smoked DMT until I couldn't physically move my arm to take another hit. I've been on incredible, wonderful trips. But, just like you, I know it's happening inside my brain. Truth is stranger than fiction for real.

I'm pretty sure you're responding seriously to satire :)

As a chaote, it honestly didn't register as satire. But if it is, it's spot on.

It's not, I'm a Chaote myself. Let these guys be content with the shadows on the wall. 93/93

Crowing about how you have special knowledge everyone else is too dumb to see is a sure sign of a crackpot.

Are they though?

If not satire I think they are fully aware they are crackpot, hence why it sounds like sarcasm.

Some kind of belief in absurdism? Like a “i 100% know this doesn't make sense and i don't care cause neither do you make sense and were both close enough to stay living” is a vibe i get

I know similar views do exist but i cant actually tell with this guy.
