"You are the cosmos made conscious" - Brian Cox

"...you're not something that's a result of the big bang. You're not something that is a sort of puppet on the end of the process. You are still the process. You are the big bang, the original force of the universe, coming on as whoever you are." - Alan Watts

"Allow yourself to fantasy that you're 13.8 million years old And you're part of this incredible ocean of happening Instead of just this one individual Just let yourself experience that for a second The glorious knowledge that you are a never-ending, ever-changing flow of matter that's temporarily manifested with the ability to express love" - Dunkin Trussel

    Okay but we know that addiction is a loneliness issue not really a substance issue. When people are isolated and repressed/suppressed, they are far more likely to get addicted. Community is the key, and of course it isn't a panacea to addiction, but it sure does prevent a lot of it, and helps people out of it.

    Reducing the harm simple keeps the system running longer. See welfare states and capitalism, and what Europe is undergoing now even though they made capitalism more tolerable (for their people at least, the global south still gets raped as hard).

    And got arrested immediately after being rescued for "stealing" the boat. They were released after it was cleared up, but so for coming back to "blessed law and order" and glorious civilization. Ironic, how the thing Locke said we'd all instantaneously combust without, imposed violence immediately upon return.

    Oh and one of the boys was a different ethnicity, and was actually the one who broke his leg, and even then, there was no bigotry or resentment between them. They took care of him for weeks, and didn't leave him to die.
