What a strange time to be alive.
I will be interested to see the reaction of his IG fans showing up and wondering what the heck is going on with the regulars here.
This is such a vivid fever dream š¤Æ
Great suggestions here. Music that you have a deep personal connection to will really be something special. One of my first bigger shroom trips (around 4 grams) I just laid on my bed in the sun and listened to bob Marley. When buffalo solider was playing I sobbed happy tears.
So yes I would recommend music š¤
Look guys Iām gonna be honest. The gringo papiā¦.itās just not very good
anytime i listed to music on acid i am 100% convinced the person making it was tripping too because everything sounds so perfect and intentional
I feel the same. My best hypothesis is that acid (psychedelics in general) bring you fully into the present moment. And I think the present moment is exactly where great and timeless art is created. So I think whether the artist was on drugs or not, I think they were creating something from pure inspiration in the present moment and I feel like that shared connection becomes more relevant on psychs. Thich Naht Hahn has a great quote thatās something like āeverything and everyone that has ever existed is right here in the present momentā
Man, I'm so jealous cause I don't understand what you mean. Psychadelic drugs and their culture (as in music, art, psychonauts etc.) have always fascinated me, but I've never felt ready to try Acid/shrooms myself. It's gradually growing on me, though. How do I know when I'm "ready"?
I guess Iām the boring old guy now but I always gently recommend that being in some form of therapy first can be very helpful. At least for me it got me very used to being more grounded/present/introspective and it taught me many tools that helped me navigate those first few trips. Aka there were moments on my first 2 lsd trips were I think the trip would have gone ābadā without those therapy tools and instead they became positive, transformative trips. That might be me being over cautious though. Read about it, watch the psychedelic documentaries and if you want to dip your toe it in agree, start with low dose mushrooms and as mentioned about set & setting are huge. Trust your intuition and donāt rush it. You never feel āreadyā but youāll probably have a sense of when youāre āready enoughā
Iāve met enough old men who realized far too late that they shouldnāt have bottled up their emotions for their entire lives. Iāll take my chances crying too much vs crying too little
I think the best counters to the style will be the strikers with exceptional TDD/stand back up ability (think Aldo or Bobby knuckles) or elite level jiu jitsu (how burns was able to slow khamzatās pace down by threatening the armbar)
I think both would submit him. Especially on short notice. If he got a full camp Iād still favour Islam or Charles but itād probably be closer
Agreed I think if he had a full camp with Craig Jones like he did for the Ortega fight Iād like his odds a lot better. But yeah I think short notice against these guys would be rough (Not impossible though-volk still poses a really interesting style match up vs both guys)
