No more insular nonsense.

۩, posts further reinforcing the fact that the mainstream media is full of flat-earthers. As soon as that post is made, you know what comes next. It's like poking a beehive.

Word.

I feel kinda bad. I posted the op on the elyria bust sentencing, and a link to an article about some jerk named Diplo, who dates some other famous person and who is a 'dmt smoking criminal.' Surely not trying to promote any kind of tabloid mentality , in fact , I'm so uncultured I truly don't know who most of these people in these articles are.

But to ignore articles like these would be to ignore a trajectory that dmt consciousness is taking into the mainstream, if that's what its doing.

So maybe it's a good sign there is tabloid quality stuff poppin up on the nexus?

In what way is that happening ?

I believe this is in reference to the numerous articles that have been popping up involving deaths (i.e. by allergic reaction) and busts (and of course Lindsay Lohan). It has been ramping up recently.

When ayahuasca enter tabloid consciousness it means that the wider mass cultural consciousness has to confront this thing.

When DMT meets mass cultural consciousness we get edm, visionary art, and burning man.

:twisted:

No need to apologize. We gather here to discuss DMT. When it hits the media in whatever form, it's probably something to be aware of.

My apologies for taking that thread in a less than polite direction. I was sick in bed all day yesterday and feeling a bit cantankerous.

At least you got to use the word cantankerous.

Yeah. I'm a little jealous...

Ufostrahlen, okay, you actually did something quite witty and intelligent with the Lohan thing, nice touch, it's almost not disgusting :thumb_up:

Thanks for recognizing my work as intelligent, Orion. The 15% disgust in the picture went hand in hand with the wittiness, it didn't work otherwise. :d

And I can understand you now, venting off steam is a good thing. It let us know, where we stand. For myself, I don't click on the tabloid news here on the Nexus. I mean, if the news do not resonate with me, I just move on.

Lindsay Lohan was an exception, as I deem it positive in contrast to other members. But yeah, that are all opinions including mine. Nothing to get angry about.

I'm no fan of the Lilo angle by any means, but how may one tell if a topic is of importance to the OP? ... if the discussion that ensues may provide value or knowledge for that person?

Where I'm going here, is... some people don't have a garden full of entheogens. Some are earnest seekers but may be at the beginning of the process. Some people who wind up here may be supremely ignorant of the topic, but interested in a deeper understannding nonetheless. Perhaps these peoples' only exposure and discussion up to this point have been inside that vanilla, tabloid, mouth-breathing world? Better folks ask these things here, than in their Google® browser IMHO. What may seem vapid to many of us may just be the stepping stone someone else needs.

Most times, dung is dung - but I've had some pretty spectacular mushies pop out of dung...

Just my 2 cents.

Much love and many Sunny Days,

Pup

My sh*t does, in fact, stink, but it also smells of mushies!

I am reminded of Robert Anton Wilson: "You are precisely as big as what you love, and precisely as small as what you allow to annoy you."

Well said :thumb_up:

Hehe. I am as big as a cat and as small as hatred and ignorance.


Oh and who the hell is Lindsay Lohan?

I guess. Given 30-40 years.

It seems to me what you get when this happens is that folks need to understand that once the genie is out of the bottle nothing YOU do can ever put it back. Thus, education, harm reduction and more than ever EMPATHIC CARING become paramount.

What you get is an amazing opportunity. Meanwhile, it seems to me that self-appointed celebrity spokespeople such as Leary and Rogan work hard against the opportunities for education and harm reduction, whether their actions are intentional or not. They need to be ultra careful because when they mention the genie, the mediots attend and cover. Yep, they must be very careful indeed, but, they are as human and excited by these revelations as anyone. And, thus things often become rather distorted quickly.

I take it tis Lohan person is someone in the public eye who did aya and now rants about it. . . If so, I can only hope she/he is very careful when they get up on a soapbox.

Damn, so I'm as big as a cube of turkish delight and as small as bollocks. So about an inch and a half.

Agreed what a word really enjoyed reading that there
