What's up with DMT-Nexus wiki? Why is it not being maintained?

From the chat, today:
08:52:58 ‹Skr9›To be honest, I'm just waiting for my death. I am not enjoying this world of suffering, stupidity, and psychopaths. It's torture to see civilization collapse. It feels like Somalia is everywhere.
08:58:53 ‹Skr9›Nonetheless, i have no depression, i am an optimist and i enjoy my life

Now, I don't want to come across as an armchair psychologist, thoughtfully nibbling on my pen as I listen (or read in this case), but it seems to be that you are experiencing a great deal of confusion about the way you feel internally, based on how you express your thoughts.

Some people simply do not listen. Most need some real-life therapy instead of amplifying their condition with psychedelics.
Nexus acts as a place for integration and some basic advice, but it can never become a true hub for psychotherapy.
I feel for people's suffering, especially when I see my old self in them. However, they need to help themselves.
Opening up about your problems is the first step. When even that is avoided, not much can be done.

Much love ❤️
 
A topic dear to my heart,

Since researchers have been monitoring our outlook on life, they have seen that people consistently think it’s going to get harder in the future and that we have a rosy view of the past. Yet when we look back at the past we can all see that life in general has been getting better every time we measure. I think that, as we get older, these two effects start to play a bigger role. One is called rosy retrospection: the tendency to look back at the past and remember it more positively than it really was. I notice this in myself, but also in people around me. They talk with passion and love about the past, but if I think about it objectively, was it really all that fantastic, nope, but I do too sure do remember only the high peaks of those days.

The other is the negativity bias. When you are living in the present, people naturally focus more on what is going wrong. From what I know it comes from an old survival mechanism, where if you paid more attention to threats and problems, you were more likely to avoid danger. Put those two inside today’s media machine I think it’s understandable that staying positive about the future gets hard. Even I on a bad day have had difficulty finding any optimism about the future, and in general have some fear for dystopian futures, especially the ones where we are ruled by distraction, or a world where the mediocre middle sets the course.

At the same time, Im optimistic about life. As @The Traveler said, by almost every measure, we have never had it this good. We live longer than ever, we have more healthy years, and more opportunities. But that’s not really the story people want to share.

@Skr9 I believe what the world needs most right now is optimism, or better, hope. Hope is what determines whether we use our strength to address the very problems we have created. That is why optimism matters so much. Especially in universities, it is essential, and you have the responsibility to pass this on to young people. To show them not only the challenges of the present, but also the possibilities of the future. They need hope to imagine how the world could be, because without it, there is no chance of repairing the world we live in.

Il add this book for inspiration, it is a very good read and really helped me to understand how the way we approach the world is so important for our future.

The old Wiki is actively being migrated to the new forum's DMT-Nexus Resources subsection. It is a work in progress, though, and as volunteers are few and far between, combined with life happening, progress can be considered slow.

I'm unsure how the migration process for this actually works. Perhaps some sort of guide on the process could motivate a few more active volunteers to help with this project?

I've made up an interim guide on the process, though it's a bit barebones. However, it can be found in the Development subforum, and I'm not sure how access rules work for that one. Here's a link to the main thread - https://forum.dmt-nexus.me/threads/migration-tracking-flow.369787/

Maybe @The Traveler can confirm who can and can't see it?
 
Actually, an example is provided by Trav here - https://forum.dmt-nexus.me/threads/example-with-nomans-tek.369784/ - while my thread mostly aims to organize the migration a bit.

Really, by "migration", we mean copy-pasting everything from the old wiki into the new, preserving its format as much as possible, making it look prettier, fixing typos, etc.

I constantly feel like everything was better when I was 18. Then I think back to how things really were, and am thankful I’m not there now.

When I first was drawn here it was to posts of people like acolon_5 especially and El Ka Bong…I wish I could still talk to Jorkest and antrocles…polytrip, Olympus mon..ice house and a bunch of other people because I miss those people and those times. It felt more adventurous back then and more like the Wild West of DMT. Now the culture is saturated with Reddit groups, facilitators everywhere, DMT carts etc…all mostly facilitated through information that some member(s) here originally posted.
You don’t have to know anything about the DMT nexus but if your into DMT odds are you have been influenced indirectly by this place.

Edot, aya forums and Eboka all disappeared. Trying to navigate the endless sea of Reddit groups is just terrible. Thank god everyone here has not been relegated to that space.

I completely agree with your sentiment here. There are many that I miss just like you would an old friend. Yearning for them to come in and light up the room to just say hello. Not blowing smoke up your butt, but I could add your name to the list of people who drew me into this place, and your short list was most excellent. I have so much respect and hold the members here in such high regard, I cannot say that enough, and it because I really mean it from the bottom of my heart. I wish all the people on the Nexus could see how I SEE them. Although the nexus has changed, I still enjoy coming in here and seeing older members still around and look forward to new names that will come and go.

I understand where @Nydex is coming from, because I had a very negative attitude for years and still struggle with it. For people like me, staying positive is a struggle and a kind of antidote. Being on the negative side is fine as long as you're aware of it and not spreading it everywhere, trying to brainwash everyone into your worldview.
You can read posts from @Skr9 to get an idea of why this issue came up.

It's the nature of our times. Aya-forums is dead, and many sites are in a similar situation to Nexus. Go read Shroomery and see how much quality content is there.
A new generation is into TikTok, Reddit madness, and aya tourism with YouTube channels and small businesses taking thousands of dollars for awakening courses.
We're at a threshold of change. I believe it's going to hit us for real in the next decade.

@The Traveler is just one man, like you and me. Go try making something similar to Nexus. It's far from easy.
This place is just what it is, and we all play a big part in how it's going to look in the future.

We all need to accept reality with all its nuances, but that's a personal project and should just show in your interactions.
There's no need to persuade anyone except yourself, imo.

Peace 🙏

No one should be bothered people go to TikTok or where-else instead of here.
Did you see what happens when something gets popular? It gets destroyed and lose the essence.

Best game I've ever play has only 20 players logged in at any moment and it's going strong for years.

I just made an observation and didn't suggest anything. I'm fine with this site as it is ;)

It's far from abandoned. @The Traveler has been putting enormous amounts of work and care into maintaining the new forum. To say that the forum is dying because there aren't as many people as before is to plainly disregard all of that and focus solely on the negative.

There are more smart and educated people nowadays than there has ever been. The new generations contain brilliant young minds that have the capacity to transform the world. It's just that most people choose to focus entirely on the negative energy of the world, which is made infinitely easier by the presence of social media in our lives.

You can choose to focus on the negative and be bitter and resentful about life if that's what keeps you moving. But please don't bring that energy to the Nexus. If you don't like it here, you're absolutely free to log out and stay away. Nobody is forcing you to be here.

I was asking because I was planning on adding in the work. I may still do that if there's no play to extinguish it.

What I see missing in the wiki is:
Information on DMT salts. All info must be redirected to the same page, not individual articles.

Information on growing big DMT crystals.

Information on jungle spice and how to mitigate polymerization.

Information on plants containing DMT and it's adequate uses (chacruna is not adequate for extraction)

Those are all things I could fix in a few days. Should I do it?
