This is really quite interesting, I recommend everyone interested in psychedelics spare a few minutes to listen.
Man, I haven't posted here is so long. My second job ends this week though and I will be sooo much more free and I hope to really get a chance to dig back into this thread. I've missed you guys! However, I saw this and felt compelled to post something for now.
This is really interesting stuff. It seems that there is so much pointing us towards psychedelics if you just look around a bit. So much of culture and our way of life is influenced by entheogens but it's just not taught like that. I've always found Francis Crick's story to be relevant and interesting and it's cool to hear his theory about the beginning of life. For those of you who did not know, Francis Crick, alongside James Watson, Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin, discovered DNA. On an even more interesting note, he was on LSD while he made this discovery, and credits LSD to helping him make the discovery. The more we piece together the more radical this view of the world we have gets. Our culture is certainly making new discoveries all the time and I don't believe that enough of this radical information is shown to the majority of the world often enough. There is so much out there that points us in a direction of complete ambiguity and endless possibilities that I think opening yourself up to the unexpectedness of it all is becoming the most rational point of view instead of clinging to beliefs which are, in many cases, outdated or irrelevant.
More interesting reading on Crick.

Edit: I saw a post about some interest in a psychedelic guild. We had talked about this over a year ago now and nothing has happened. I think when I finish my job this week I'll check my financial situation and most likely I will find a way to buy some fg to make this happen. I have about 3-4k fg worth of d2 assassin gear I can sell if anybody knows somebody who wants it or wants it themselves but otherwise I don't have the time or patience to sell it on here. If anybody else would be interested, let us know. I think it could be a really good thing and I'm willing to throw some cash down to make it happen. I'll keep you all informed and talk to Makemetal about it when I figure out the costs.
