  • Yes me too. But that same baby born in Gaza could be born 15 miles away and live an entirely different life. That is the whole point. The gazan child is not essentially a victim by virtue of being born in Gaza. The gazan child is likely to be a victim not because she has to be (is essential to her nature) but because someone has chosen to victimise her. What modern people miss is that that distinction was lacking for the first couple thousand years of philosophical thought.

    That’s what we used to think but then this article came out and changed everything we thought we knew about the relationship between sharks and Earth’s largest satellite. Sharks are, according to the article, the most lunarly attuned fish. Hammerhead sharks have been observed exhibiting behavior that is suggestive of an ability to predict eclipses. These sharks care enough about the moon to line their burrows with shells oriented along the path the moon takes through the sky.

    It is as psychedelic as dmt it just isn’t pleasurable at all. On breakthrough doses your awareness is altered but you aren’t intoxicated like on the classical psychedelics. It is a hard one to explain but you are disassociated in the regular sense, the ego death is real but not in the numinous way of serotonergic drugs. I was once a square wheel on a truck. And I lived a whole life that way. I remember way more of what happens in my salvia breakthroughs than in my dmt ones. I think the dmt ones would be just as unpleasant though if dmt wasn’t itself pleasurable.
