Are you more likely to question authority?
- Thread starter Fiashly
- Start date
I have always been a sort of fringe person..doing my own thing and watching all the social "clicks" and such from the perspective of one on the outside..this is how I went through school and I saw the same old BS in the "real world" after high school that I saw when I was a kid in high school..nothing changes..
So yeah I am prone to question authority and concentual social values..psychedelics just furthered this ideaology, but I was already going down that road..when you dont quite fit in with any certain group it's hard not to.
I do have more sympathy for the people that before I had no sympathy for, becasue of psychedelics..I can see why people act the way they do and treat other people like they are nothing, and i feel sorry for them because I know that they are that way not becasue they want to be like that, but becasue they are up against the exact same thing themselves and get caught up in the endless cycle of samsara..
So while I was already very weary of authority and social dogmas and status etc, psychedelics have allowed room for a balancing of that ideology to take place in my life and make peace with some of the more angry and depressive times in my life.

Yes, ofcourse, otherwise we would just be sheep, blindly following the leader wherever he may take you.
About the 7/7 and 9/11 cases, i wont add much to that, i have my own thoughts about it, but authorities, and especially the American authorities have been evolved in quite a lot of conspiricies before (not conspiricy theories, but actual conspiricies) so why shouldn't we be suspicious, i sure as hell don't trust anyone of those high ranked criminals, even Ron Paul is fishy, and that's very sad, we need someone trustworthy, but power and compassion don'tb match together it seems.
Those rich elitist don't give a damn about you, they only think about themselves, so why should anyone trust those kind of people?

correlation is anecdotal and speculative at best. you'd be hard-pressed to find a direct correlation between entheogen use and dissenting views. that's like saying people who drink beer tend to favor war.
most folks who question authority likely did so before doing entheogens, if they even did them at all; all psychedelics do is enable a person to take a holistic view of the world.
I questioned authority even as a child... but I did have a belief that adults were good people (maybe because my parents were so I assumed all were), which set me up for disillusion in adolescence. I was always quite thoughtful, pondering over all sorts.
