  • Psychedelics are like retreats or intensive sessions. They can be awesome and they can feel amazing and productive. And if you’re doing the work beforehand or they inspire you to change after they’re exactly it. But they won’t force you to actually change. Additionally some people just do these things because they enjoy them and may or may not be well adjusted

    I haven’t tried shrooms, but idk. LSD had me find religion and got me to face and quit my bullshit basically every trip I’ve had. Acid trips are long and have different stages.

    The biggest difference with shrooms from what I hear is that it isn’t all fucking day with time hallucinations to result in it feeling even longer.









  • In this case it was just a decent gen ed literature paper but yeah I once literally couldn’t stop reading the Wikipedia article about the evolution of plants when I was unmedicated.

    I’m more likely to talk of hyperfocus when it’s things theoretically people would think are good to be unable to stop focusing on like school, work, or learning. This is largely because crashing on the couch doomscrolling instead of eating is something even neurotypicals do these days and because talking about all the nights I spent playing binding of Isaac or civilization with zero capacity to stop and do my damn homework or go to bed make it sound like a failing and like I’m blaming my mental illness.

    But yeah, it’s inability to regulate attention and we live in a world in which sophisticated tools for catching and maintaining attention are extremely commonplace and should be more regulated.








  • Idk I feel like if it actually worked that way we’d get pretty firm negotiations that home and work get separate metalminds at least at decent jobs. And much like how zincminds don’t make you smarter, they just make you equally smart faster, these won’t make you good at your job, just make you solely focused on the stupid thing your boss told you to do.

    Also I feel like given how hyperfocus is attention would be more like weight or senses than strength in that filling has benefits too by allowing you to task change and a sudden jolt from tunnel vision
