Okay, but on a timeline measured in years instead of quarters, it's really fucking stupid to punish the factory that churns out engineers for your war machines, right? The government funds STEM education, yielding STEM experts, yielding STEM productivity. Stop funding it, stop making STEM experts, vastly reduce STEM productivity. Pair this with massive reductions on immigrants (and torch the economy to lower desire to come here also) and how does this not lead to brain drain dark ages and empire collapse?

Is it more complicated than this? Am I missing something? Because usually when somebody thinks that everybody else is a fucking moron, they are the fucking moron, and I'm worried that maybe I'm just such a dumb fucking moron that I can't see what a dumb fucking moron I am.

Having a trip sitter would be ideal, but isn't fully necessary so long as you start small. Don't take more than 2 grams (assuming you're an average size adult male) and you'll be fine. You'll have some nausea which is normal, so don't eat a ton or drink anything acidic or bubbly before. The part of your brain that gets tickled for psychedelic effects is either the same or next door to the nausea part of your brain, so just get through the first wave of tummy gymnastics and the rest is therapeutic meditation. Watch clouds, look at bugs in the grass, touch tree bark. Be in our natural world. Just be somewhere safe and comfortable where you don't need to be concerned about being judged. Idk how people can enjoy it in a public setting lol. Or more often than like once per year.

It's been a while for me, but you bring things back with you from a trip. It helps you to tear yourself down so you can rebuild a little differently.

[musk] -Has contributed very little personally in his field of expertise

What field of expertise? All he does is spend his daddy's emerald mine money on companies and then lie about what the companies are gonna accomplish. With the exception of nutting into mistresses, he's basically a subpar 14 year old trapped in the body of a divorced high school history teacher, but riddled with drug addictions. Money is the only thing keeping him out of prison and off the streets. He has lucked his way into everything he has, and there is absolutely nothing to admire about the "man". There isn't a single goddamn thing that I would trust him as an "expert" to handle for me.

He is a pile of money. Nothing more, nothing less.

This is true. Teenage me only got snippets. I noticed the standardized metal road behemoths that people commanded at life-ending speeds, but otherwise just "plants pretty".
At 30+, I thought more about how I would interface with gods or aliens or both as an ambassador advocating for the continued survival of the species, and I saw that that's a tough fucking sell at this point. I explored my own role as a person and came to understand that somewhere along the line, I've somehow transitioned from being a child to an unqualified adult, and now to an accomplished provider with notable lived experiences. As a result, I've started to aim to live up to that a little better.

These people don't experience the ego death necessary to significantly grow. Mushrooms teach you to confront uncomfortable truths about yourself, and with some humility you may have an opportunity to reconcile to some degree. It's a tool, not a toy.

I keep hearing this, yet his constituents keep electing him. So maybe they do like him, but they lie about that because they're ashamed of that fact.

Citizens knowing more about the bills that reps vote on than the reps that vote on those bills defeats the purpose of those reps in the first place. They were supposed to know this shit for us. He's inexcusably unqualified if his constituents are educating him about the bill he voted for.

They're so bad at it that they wind up liking media that is directly mocking them. They legit say things like "I liked Stephen Colbert better before he went woke. The Colbert Report was good back in the day." They completely missed that Larry the Cable Guy is a character. They like Fight Club and The Wolf of Wall Street for exactly the wrong reasons.

You have to be an extremely clueless dumbass to miss the very clear message behind RATM music, and yet they somehow still manage. They must have been sniffing glue while the teacher was going over analysis and annotations.

And they're gonna pivot from "no it isn't" to "and what's wrong with that" within a few weeks.

You mean they'll shoot the ~~ICE agents~~ armed gangsters first and ask questions later, right?

Right?

Well, he thinks that Mattel is a country and that Abrego Garcia literally has "MS13" tattooed onto his knuckles, so yeah, probably.

When he dies, I hope there's a full autopsy because I really wanna know wtf is going on with his brain. Frontal cortex must have been chewed up and spit out or something.

False. Pigs get qualified immunity.

She just heard her mermaid singing this and thought she'd help out:

I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see, wanna see 'em dancin'
Walking around on those, what do you call 'em?
Oh, feet
