I still think of that scene at least once a month and giggle!

Emphasis on AND. Putting lasers near your eyes is a sober activity.

I'm sorry, I thought this was America!

Do not take psychedelic with remaining eye.

Take psychedelics, why not, go for it.
Put lasers near your eyes, absolutely.
But never, EVER, take psychedelics
and ALWAYS put salt in your eyes!

right?.. just a DMT vape huh?

Didn't you know? In addition to trains tech bros also invented psychedelics

According to the dude, people with no foreknowledge also saw the same things. "Seeing the code of the matrix" definitely sounds better than "DMT enhances random patterns".

Maybe it’s some higher dimensional grad student simulating something to get some plots to add to a poster his postdoc wants him to present at a small time conference somewhere. Our consciousness is just a side effect because he insisted in doing the coding in Haskell.

and honestly, even if it is a simulation, so what? do you have a way to get out? can you even exist outside of it? do you hurt or love any less knowing that? what are you supposed to do about it? give up? lay your simulation body on the simulation dirt and simulation die?

none of it really matters does it, especially because you can't know if it's possible to leave/exist outside. as far as you know this life is still the only thing that is certain

I was just about to say😅 with enough dmt anything is a simulation. Lasers are just for aesthetics

Does Dmt know something we don't?

Like the Kumail Nanjiani joke about a new drug called "cheese," made by mixing Tylenol PM with heroin.

Same lmao

Pretty sure he's misunderstanding interference patterns

I think we all need to jack off more. People are wound far too tight these days.

Maybe the lost memories were meant to stay lost? Who knows what eldritch horrors we uncover? I think the lost memories should stay that way: lost.

Idiots get clicks and clicks make line go up

Slow news day at their office

Remember the dude with the immortality rings?

The only thing one could do with knowledge of being in a simulation, is trying to find bugs and exploits.
From now on, I expect anyone claiming we live in a simulation to have a working perpetual motion device, faster that light communication, or something similarly impressive. If they don't, their claim is meaningless useless.

Theory is that the human (and maybe other) brain creates a simulation of the world experienced through the senses and that 'you' interact with that. Everybody has their own simulation, no code to speak of. Drugs can 'hack' it by messing with the simulation and perception.

Great, I've been suffering through Capitalism and now I have to learn that it's not even real Capitalism.
