psychedelis

why citizens dont take psychedelics

we empower our experience by insisting in authenticity

uncivil, rude, correct

primacy of experience, dignity of individual

knowledge is provisional

Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behaviour and information processing. They open you up to the possibility that everything you know is wrong.”

ideology trust intuition, reject authority, leads to ruin

keep things under control. instutions.

to the degree we commit ourselves to ideology we are poisoned

experience and ideology

what is real is experience

what are the frontiers of experience?

all are disease is that we are kept uf from the total experience

represed in areas like sexuality and psychedelic experience, because it empowers the individuals, it dissolves the dominant model of science

completion of individual is destructive to the dominators

SERVE

freeing of slaves, votes to women, political enlightment should include hands off to how people wanna change their minds

intellectually, spiritually manipulated

the state is acting as the inforcing arm of the incoming culture

people would claim the authenticity of their own minds

reempowering of individual and lowering of profile of institutions especially governments

idea that be have to serve, behave and be enslaved

history is young. a global society is coming into beeing. made out of information.that was not intended to be ours. but which is ours via the mistaken invention and distribution of smallcomputers. printin press.. etc info is power and has been spilled by the clampsy handling of cybernetic revolution, the dominant culture, so its everywhere, never had the situation been so fluid

REALITY IS MADE OF LANGUAGE reality is made of language gnomes that make object from language to convince u

is reality real?

linguistic truth

language was invented so someone could lie

through language, production of ideology

psychedelics dissolve this machinery of language it shows u the relativity of your culturalviewpoint, like travel

travelling is moving from one language domain to another

culture gives su the message that everything is normal it denies experience

The syntactical nature of reality, the real secret of magic, is that the world is made of words "In the beginning was the code, and the code was made flesh."

The mind as co-creator of our model of the world.

The mind is somehow a co-creator in the process of reality through acts of language.

If the world is code, then it can be hacked. It permits magic, because it says: Behind the laws of physics is a deeper level, and if you can reach that deeper level, you can make changes there.

"The world is made of stories, not atoms." (B.Keeney)

Ordinary Language, Visible Language & Virtual Reality =

Language represents the most complex behavior ever observed in any animal and certainly it's the most complex thing any of us ever learns to do

We replace the unknown with the known through the substitution of words and by the time a child is two or three they have completely created a cultural mosaic of words that is interposed between them and reality. Reality from that point on is only an unconfirmed rumor brought through the medium of language and every culture accentuates different parts of reality so that in a sense every culture is a different reality. Language is the stuff of the world, not quarks or wave-packets or neutrinos, but language. Everything is made of language. All the constructs of science are actually interlocking constructs of syntax. So that's ordinary language which seems to define reality through a kind of process of lying about it. For instance by creating subject-object distinctions which are, in fact, not true to the matter, but somehow operationally necessary for us to navigate in the kind of lower dimensional space that we inhabit.

Then there is the phenomenon of non-ordinary, or what I call visible language and this is very interesting to me. This is where technology, virtual-reality, cybernetics, human-machine interfacing can actually make an impact and explore a frontier. Visual language is a transormation of the physiological impulse towards syntax into a final product, speech, which is not heard with the ears, but beheld with the eyes. It's very interesting that all our metaphors of clarity of speech are visual metaphors.

MATERIALISM

the worls is what it appears to be creation of beautiful toys, tools, media

cultures collapse under the western beast and then they become part of its structure

western game.= create boundaries and maintaim them. categorical divisions.

drugs tha maintain bondaries= caffeine, productivity alkohol, red meat, sugar and tabaco culture

mass psychedelic experience.drug is technology

cultural experience becomes more n more hallucinatory

HABIT

Now, there is a retardant force – and I call it Habit, to keep it away from concepts like thermodynamic entropy: habit

Change piled upon change piled upon change.

“Stop consuming images and start producing them.”??\\

“The imagination is the goal of history. I see culture as an effort to literally realize our collective dreams.”

Our model of what the world is is made of words, and the world is composed of description.
