Sam thinks he loves serotonin but his real problem along with the rest of us is dopamine

너희앞에선 고자 되는갑다😂

"I'll try anything at least once, except incest and folk dancing." – Christopher Hitchens. So, I'd say that if he hadn't tried psychedelics, I'm sure he would have had no problem trying.

Sam Harris is obsessed with drugs!

I probably won't have his sublime meditation experiences but he'll never feel the euphoria I had driving my car listening to The Eagles greatest hits from the 70s

Its a tragedy that phenomenal minds like that of Dawkins and Alex himself do not investigate meditation at the fundamental level ,it would be amazing to hear their thoughts and experiences of the no self state of consciousness where all boundaries of existence, self, space and time vanquish into the primordial infinite abyss of love…and importantly how to integrate those deeper factions of the mind with the everyday relational state of affairs.

I like Mr Harris but if he starts talking shit about Bach I’m gonna have to ax him to step outside !
Jk

Who knew the guy from night at the museum was a neuroscientist and philosopher?

MDMA never worked really well for me. Wether I had no effects for taking not enough for me while all others at the same dosage had been satisfied or I felt very little of the effects every one is talking about but noticeable side effects as stomach, headache getting nervous… – feels like bad speed (tried only ones – don't know if I like it but know that it has serious dangers).
Empathy, love etc. are much stronger on psilos or acid for me and I feel much less side effects if I feel any. Everyone reacts a bit different on substances.

Sam Harris: I thought he sexualy harassing me yesterday, but now i sorta like it 2:29

Sam hasn’t gone deep enough on any psychedelic to talk about or recommend it. He’s kinda a sissy.

leave poor Dawkins alone there is nothing wrong with him 😆

Remember when people thought Sam Harris was intelligent? Good times.

If getting high (naturally by self suggestion techniques or otherwise) makes you a better person afterwards, by all means… But this is not something I have observed.

On the contrary, people who get addicted to getting high, tend to enter a mental bubble – they often get harder to relate to (less genuine and less present), and seem to get more – not less – dysregulated over time. At least that's my experience.

Meditation is not about getting high, it's about being more present with whatever happens right now, good or bad, and of loosening the grip of the ego.

GOD, I Love these guys!

My piano teacher said, “The Goldberg Variations were impossible to write, but he somehow wrote it”.

"obsessed with drugs"😂😂

Bach is pretty damn amazing!

People are finally asking the real questions

"Full flush of socially positive emotion." 🤔 My experience of MDMA was wanting to get jiggy with everyone.

If you need to be impaired, or encourage others to be impaired your morals are suspect.
