I love astronomists and scientists of all kind, i really do. But i somehow find it laughable that these persons spend so much time looking through a big sky microscope for clues about the universe. Looking up to the heavens is great. It's pretty cool to know that the earth is round. But where i dont get it, is the general idea that science will ultimatley give us the final meaning of everything one day. I dont think it will. Our society seem to put aside every phenomenon that we cant mesure with a ruler. You know, even if we can measure stuff, it's not telling us the full picture of it. Doctors can open a brain, measure almort everyting, and yet, we dont -scientificaly- know what happyness or hate is. It's great that we can measure serotonin and everything. But i dont think it will ever lead us to explain -scientificaly- what a human emotion is. The funny thing is that we all know what happyness is. When i hear someone says something like '' we ( that means modern scientific paradigm) dont really knows what dreams are '' i am shocked. This is not true. Humans have dreams for thousands of years, and we dont know what it is?! Of course we know! It's not because we can put them ( the dreams ) in a scientific very precise scale that we cant ''know'' what it is. That's just ridiculous. The same goes for the psychedelic experience i guess. That's why when people tell me stuff like '' dude, you are experiencing entities, hyperspace and all because there is a molecule that bounds itself to your serotonin receptors'' . My answer is : '' of course ''. I dont get how they can invalidate the experience this way. If i tell to someone grieving about the death of a familly member something like '' dude, you are only sad because of a chemical reaction in your brain'', i dont think that anybody would agree. And there is something bizarre about this whole scientific community. I'v done some science in college. It's weird, you got a whole lot a people, typically some really smart and nice persons, but usually, they havent been ''outside'' alot. In the sense that they pretty are ignorant of anything going on outside the university's walls. Lots of them has never even smoked marijuana. They have not been around the block. That's crazy that the worst kind of drop out, stoned, womaniser and heavy metal enthousiast ( that means me i guess ) gets to know some cutting edge truths with psychedelics, and that the lab people dont even remotly know about it. I guess they dont care, if we cant put a medical knife on it, then it's not real. It's like the music sections of university. They really are in their own world. To be a orchestral compositor, you need to be recognised by the scholar establishment. You have to compose a very specific type of unknow modern music. And these musical people almost completly disregard anything else. And they attend each others concerts. But you go outside of this circle, and there is a big rock show in an arena. There is something i dont get here. Albert Einstein said : '' science is only an extension of common tought ''. Or something along these lines. I guess that the microscope addicted folks out there should spend a little less time studying the dark matter or whatever in the sky and began to explore life. The truth is out there or so they say.
