How do I get better at recording my ideas when I am in this higher intelligence phase of my high? I want to get better at writing or typing fast. However, my hands hurt sometimes. Especially during winter.

When I was younger, my brother and I played with this tape cassette recorder and tape player. We made lots of funny skits like SNL.

1. I heard that there was this vivice recording function on a cell phone, but I have Android. Will I need to buy an electronic voice recording device, or can I just use my cell phone? Do you have recommendations for any voice recorders that you suggest I should purchase?

Maybe this is too unrelated to a sud subject.

2. Does anyone else have moments where they feel like they have a higher intelligence while high? I notice myself sometimes using larger words, having a better memory, or performing more complex mathematical equations in my head. I am curious to know if there are others who have experienced the same thing.

Edit - On second thought. Forget the first question. I could easily research electronic products on my own. Any suggestions would still be appreciated, however.

I chatted with Claudia for a long time and then asked for a gist and over view of it all so:

Theory 1: The Expanding Field Theory

Theory 2: The De-concentration Theory

“ Theory 1: The Expanding Field Theory Core Concept The universe isn't just expanding INTO space, but the fundamental field itself is expanding, creating new potential energy without energy input. Key Points

Field Properties

Field expansion is its natural state Doesn't require energy to expand (like permanent magnets don't need energy to maintain field) Creates new "space" and potential energy as it expands Might be the source of all observable phenomena

Energy Implications

Challenges traditional conservation laws Suggests infinite potential energy Energy scarcity might be technological limitation Like accessing an ever-growing reservoir

Entropy Reframed

Entropy appears to increase because field expands Not about disorder, but about filling new space Systems appear to "degrade" because they spread into new field space Time's arrow might be field expansion

Supporting Examples

Gravitational Potential

Mountain height as potential energy Expanding space increases potential Like constantly making the hill taller Natural increase in energy potential

Electromagnetic Parallel

Like how magnetic fields exist without energy input But constantly growing in scope Creates new potential without consumption Self-sustaining but expanding system

Theory 2: The De-concentration Theory Core Concept The universe isn't expanding, but rather de-concentrating from a higher energy state into preexisting space, becoming observable at our energy level. Key Points

Space Nature

Space exists everywhere already Including "beyond" observable universe We only see what's at our energy level Like a photograph developing

Universal "Expansion"

Not actually expanding Field dropping to lower energy states Becoming visible at our level Creating appearance of new space

Cosmic Implications

CMB radiation comes from all around Not just echo of Big Bang Evidence of ongoing energy transition We're inside the transition, not looking back at it

Black Holes

Regions of maintained higher energy Event horizons as energy state boundaries Hawking radiation like steam from phase transition Information preserved at higher energy state

Supporting Examples

Phase Transitions

Like ice forming in supercooled water Or steam condensing to water Different energy states becoming visible Process of state change

Big Bang Reframed

Initial de-concentration point First "phase transition" in our region Started cascade of energy level drops One of possibly many such events

Interconnections

Time

Experience of field changes "Doing forward" as natural process Connected to field expansion/de-concentration Might be reversible at local levels

Entropy and Energy

Both theories explain entropy differently but compatibly Both suggest energy abundance rather than scarcity Both challenge traditional conservation laws Both suggest deeper unity in physical laws

Implications

Technological

New approaches to energy generation Possible local time/entropy manipulation Access to higher energy states New understanding of field manipulation

Philosophical

Questions permanence of actions Suggests fluid rather than fixed reality Challenges traditional causality New framework for understanding existence

Practical Applications

Energy technology revolution Space travel rethinking Time manipulation possibilities New approaches to field interactions

Outstanding Questions

Physical

Mechanism of field expansion/de-concentration Nature of higher energy states Relationship between theories Connection to quantum mechanics

Philosophical

Implications for free will Nature of consciousness in field theory Moral implications of reversibility Meaning in a fluid universe

Both theories suggest a fundamental unity underlying physical phenomena and challenge our basic assumptions about space, time, and energy. They offer potentially revolutionary frameworks for understanding the universe and developing new technologies.

Like how do I know for sure. What if you're all just super sophisticated chat bots there's no way for me to know

I'm doing a fun thought experiment on how Plato would fare as a modern day influencer.

It started off as a parody and I even built a fitness/lifestyle influencer page for him.

But I'd like to evolve this into something that actually reflects how his thoughts and values would interact with todays media. So I'm looking for insights both from people who are well versed with his works and from those who know nearly nothing about him.

If you've got 5 minutes to spare, please help my research by sharing your thoughts through the form in my comment.

So many chickens have perished for my meals!

Everything is so vague and focused on the present. Everything is just a reflection of what we know. We don't know where we came from and even less where we are going. No one knows what the beginning was. We are just an idea of ourselves - we a are like a car, that is just an idea of what it what is was ment to be, but are looking for new designs. Everything is an end in itself. Evolution and death.

Honestly it's a lil annoying (kids on reddit to begin with is). Kids, teens, whatever you want to call them. I can't help but think at least half the posts in stoner subreddits are "I'm a kid and I'm new to smoking" vibes, which isn't even what a stoner is. These people aren't even legally old enough to vote, let alone legally smoke weed, yet they're online trying to act like stoners because they hit a bowl a few times that they've hidden from their parents.

Please, for the love of reddit, please just quit smoking. Go be a kid and enjoy your youth. Get off of reddit. There's nothing cool about dwelling on reddit. Don't be like these adults that dwelled on reddit and Internet forums all their life since elementary school. It isn't cute or healthy. It isn't a prideful or respectful thing.

You're not a stoner. You shouldn't even want to be a stoner. A lot don't even know what a stoner or pothead actually is. Smoking weed occasionally doesn't make you one. Having to hide your weed usage from parents doesn't make you one. Just slow down now before you even become one.

Keep your mind, lungs, emotions and body clear. Again; go be a kid/teenager and have a fun, experienced youth, but weed isn't and shouldn't be for y'all and I mean this in the most respectful way possible. Especially the weed nowadays.

If you aren't even legally old enough to make your own decisions, to vote, to have a credit card, to even have something legally in your name, you shouldn't even be allowed in smoking communities and you honestly wouldn't be outside of the internet.

Please don't let the Internet influence you or make you think you're older than you are. Just stay with the kid/teen friendly things. Weed isn't all cracked up like you think it is. Please quit coming to "stoner" pages and asking very basic questions too. It just screams "I'm a new kid smoker" and any respectable adult shouldn't engage with a minor about this. It isn't even legal to do so and that's something your parents should be doing, if anybody; not random people on the Internet. There's plenty of "first time smokers" communities but I just don't feel it's fair to call yourself a stoner at that point, therefore an actual stoner community isn't necessarily right for you.

It is legally a liability for adults to engage with anything regarding marijuana with children and teenagers that are under the smoking limit, on and off the Internet, and communities have been harassed by admins in the past because of it. Do I personally agree with the laws? Yes and no. I think someone should at least be 18 if they want to really get into marijuana but I understand why the law in most places is 21. It's a lil cringe seeing 15 and 16 year olds talking about weed, acting like they're this cool stoner, when they've been occasionally smoking for maybe a year and they have to hide it in their room otherwise they're grounded.

You want to do it, nobody on the Internet could prevent you. I could just hope your parents step in and steer you in a better direction. Back before all the social media, teenagers would just get together, hit a bowl, joint, blunt, whatever a few times and go on adventures or something; nowadays the kids converge online to virtue signal how stoned they are.

If you're underage, please keep your smoking activities to yourself/real life if you're bent on doing it but it's extremely awkward being an adult and constantly interacting with kids, especially on subjects related to weed. The amount of kids that attempt to talk about politics is annoying enough, but when it's about an actual adult-oriented subject in a grey area like marijuana, we really don't need to be interacting on that level. Let's keep it legal for reddit's sake. Unfortunately the same kids/teens run to reddit for other things they're not even old enough for as well. I believe reddit as a whole really needs to do better, as well as the parents monitoring them (unfortunately it's increasingly getting difficult for parents to be able to always monitor their kids because the cost of living is ridiculous, parents can't even be around like they need to/want to anymore so they have to constantly sacrifice parenting just in order to survive, then everyone blames the parent for not being able to be there all the time).

Be healthy, he happy, be alive. Keep your mind as healthy as clear and pure as possible. Weed DOES affect you, don't let anyone make you believe differently. The younger you start, the longer you smoke, the more you're affected, and likely not in a good way.

Enjoy your youth, weed shouldn't be for yall!

I’m not ashamed to admit it, and neither should you. It’s no different than my morning cup of coffee. And boy does that cope taste so fucking good.

When you think about how important perspective is in society, relationships, science, mathmatics, physics, empathy, feelings, etc. In both mental and real physical ways. Even consciousness iis a kind of intelligence derived from the ability to perceive perspective and to tell the difference between your's and everything elses. In a way reality is built on context. When I think about how much math is built on the individual perspectives of numbers and coordinates, vectors, axis and the like. Think about the simple questions. It arises from a very simple concept of additional perspective or coordinate. A coordinate of thought outside of your physical being. How else to see yourself as anything but what your senses tell you you are? From the inside so to speak. Your minds eye builds a picture of yourself for better or worse but that picture never actually exists. It's always just a perspective that's as real or unreal as that perspective makes it. In physics the frame of reference concept hints to the underlying elemental nature of perspective. Frames of reference is so deeply intertwined in however this is all structured that we just take it for granted. Humanity really only recognized that framework for what it is when we started looking at huge structures in space which introduces yet more perspective for our nature. The power of perspective is not as apparent at our speed relative to light. Yet, it still manages to show itself in sciences, nature, art and in our very interactions with ourselves and each other.

Tldr: Perspective/coordinates as a holistic way of seeing reality.

There once was a great warrior. His name was…uh…Piss. Yea, I don't plan these things out. But, y'know, Piss? Best French kisser this side of Atlanta. He was so good that he was granted three lives by a moist, itchy wizard he met on Grindr, after, y’know, a hefty gargling competition.

Cough…uh…what was I spitting here? Oh, yea, warrior, warrior! Yea, so, uh, Piss was so fucking ripped that not only did his nipples cut diamonds, but he was known to kick the crap outta some abominable sabertooth werecrabs barehanded. On the regular. And, y’know, them shit’s good eatings, man. Just get some butter, or, y’know, margarine as my boyfriend lets me have.

Sigh…

Anyways, just forget about me. We’re jabbering about Piss! As such, I gotta go on and say that despite the Pissmeister being the alpha of all sigmas with dicks in the double-digits in inches, there was, in fact, a time where he faced a crabby fuck so big that not even the sixteen gallons of testosterone that pumped through his furry ass cheeks could crush this beastly crustacean's cackles.

So, y’know, he died. Then the next moment he's alive again. I dunno, fackin’ spawn point or some ish. But, ah, y’know, fuck it, Piss is a woman now. Submit your complaints anally. Yet, even after checking out that sweet new beaver, Piss was aware that she could not beat Captain Big…Ass…Claw…fuck you, I don't get paid to make these dumpster fires.

So, as things go, she started a-pondering with that new womanly brain and she thought about how good her new thighs looked in her Gucci loincloth before using what she chose to name common sense and went ahead to the nearby metaphor quarry, where she proceeded to pile them literary device fuckers on her back as she daydreamed about using every ounce of the metaphors she ordained, foaming at the mouth over the prospect of fucking yeeting that jabroni’s exoskeleton into atmospheres long since forgotten, only to go on ahead and get very moist and itchy while testing out that soon-to-be cavernous frontbutt.

But, y’know, best laid plans of shits n giggles oft go awry. Wazzat mean? She friggin’ drowned whist trying to cross the river, all those damn metaphors weighing her fine, toned, and significantly less hairy glutes down, not even coming close to bringing home the crab meat.

Last life. He’s aware of it, and as such, he plans to fuck shit up all proper-like. Thus, he took one metaphor and shoved it waaaay up that beastie’s booty, and then I don't fucking. I just…y’know…I wanted to do something on Aristotle’s virtue theory or the middle way, or y’know, whatever, but I'm sitting here now eating this pancake, and I'm like, yabba dabba doo, bitch. That's the show.

I smoke a lot of weed indoors and I can noticeably see the smoky appearance of the room. Occasionally, I notice a fly that got in and is buzzing around. I got to thinking, could the fly absorb the lingering THC in the air and do flies have cannabinoid receptors? Not sure if they do. But anyhow, the THC lingering in the air could theoretically get flies high. Did you ever think of that? Flies are tiny little things so it would take much THC do get a fly high. Who knows, you could've gotten a bunch of flies stoned out of their minds and you didn't even know it.

Euclids Elements is the second most printed book on paper. Weed is one of the most widely smoked substances. Therefore, someone has likely smoked weed rolled in Euclids Elements.

Hello everyone,

I recently took a long break from smoking weed. Every time I take extended breaks and then smoke again, I start to deeply contemplate all the mistakes I’ve made while I was sober during the past few months.

I’m wondering if this is a common experience? In the last three years, I used to smoke a lot, but now I’ve cut back significantly. Over the past year, I’ve smoked maybe 15 times at most, yet every time I light up after a long pause, I get hit with these reflective thoughts.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on how I can start realizing and processing these things while I’m sober would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

It honestly seems like it would be soooo perfectly compatible with the southern lifestyle…which is slow, friendly and chill. Like if South Carolina legalized weed…I’d totally consider moving there.

i've done shrooms once and i will never forget how mindblown i am about how people think about themselves. normally, i visualize myself and my everyday life from the POV of my own eyes (i don't see myself, i just see my hands, rest of my body and other people). but when i did shrooms, i cried so much because for the first time, my POV changed to this third person POV and i saw how i looked like. btw, i'm a girl (22) and all my life i needed to be tough or at least act tough to get through life even when i was a kid. i saw myself being a little girl to being a teenager as if i was watching myself in a movie and i saw how much i don't really fit on acting tough because i don't look like a scary person. i also saw my younger self go through all my traumatic experiences and i realized that i wish there was a bigger sister that would've been there to protect me as i would today if i were to see a young girl getting harassed or something. i've asked my friends on how they view themselves and most of them answered that they have the 3rd person omniscient POV. i realized that those that normally have this 3rd person POV protects themselves more because in their world, they are included in the picture. but those that are similar to me usually cares more about others because my eyes are the lens and i usually do not think about myself. pros and cons are present in both kinds but i'm curious if some of you have thought about this too.

Just a high thought I had. We keep giving ourselves more and more options for food, drink , play, sex, drugs, TV, websites, shopping, situationships, friends, cars, toys, games, social, media, art, lazing, etc. At a certain point is it too much choice for too many people? Like evolution didn't prepare humanity at a basic level to have so much choice? The extreme excess of any of which can physically and or mentally and or financially destroy a life. Is the seemingly slow slide into madness that's permeating society arise from more and more people's inability to exert there will and long-term needs over there wants and needs of the right now? We have entire industry's built around convincing people to YOLO the now and worry about later, later. Capitalistic propaganda that doesn't care about the lives its ruining. Capitalism without conscience. Our kids get the heaviest dosages of the "me now" society. I feel like public violence , suicides and depression are at all times highs and growing statistically amongst the population. This makes me feel sad.

It's the humanizing of AI that these companies are doing that makes me uncomfortable. There in such a rush to incorporate human behavior (online behavior which is debatable whether that in itself is natural human behavior) into there logic and data sets all in an effort to monetize without any thoughts for what sort of intelligence they're creating in a macro sense. I actually trust the math logic that AI is built on . I don't trust humans. And I damn sure don't trust human acting AI that statistically understands me better then I understand myself. Who thinks this is a good idea? O yah, those making million and billions. We haven't changed a bit. We just kill each other nicer and slower now.

Did a "caveman" from 40,000 BC think about "doing the right thing"? Was Australopithicus 3 million years ago morally responsible for their actions? Did it start before then? Perhaps all vertebrates have idealized behaviours they they consistently do not live up to.

I live in a legal state and I work as a budtender and I’m also a stoner so I smoke once or twice (mayyybe 3) a day outside. My preferred method is a joint, chill with a blanket, and listen to music to relax after work. Or to do yoga the next day outside. I’m usually outside for about 20-40mins. We live in a culdesac and have a covered front porch and fenced backyard so I do see my neighbors occasionally when I’m outside smoking. Do you think that they can smell it and it annoys them? I can imagine it’s like how cigarettes are? I don’t really pay attention enough to my neighbors enough to smell anything that they do, but I’m always nervous about Karens when I’m high.

Do you notice others smoking in your neighborhood? I know it’s all location dependent but still

First we are accepting the existence of “past live experiences” as a bonafide phenomena which is to say that we accept as true that people can and do experience memories of those from the “ past”

Secondly supposing that time is nonlinear and that there is only one instance of “now” it looks less like “ past life” is an accurate description.

This indirectly gets at the metaphysical problem of personal identity and in line with the view of personal identity as psychological continuity and or bundle theory it makes the ast life experiences seem rather invasive.

The answer to that question has only two possible answers and each answer is equally impossible. Let's say the egg came first, that's impossible because there has to be an adult chicken around to lay it. If you said the chicken came first, then that equally impossible because the chicken to have come from an egg. So, who laid the egg to hatch the first chicken? Where did the first chicken come from then if there was no egg? It's an impossible cycle that extends off into eternity. No egg means no chicken? A chicken, but no egg for it to hatch from? Chickens had no beginning. They've just always existed.

Watching Game of Thrones. I'm referring to the fountain in the house of black/white that gave instant painless death to those who drank from it. What If the death fountain opened today in the middle of some city USA and was open to use for anyone to willingly use. How many people do you think would partake and use it willingly in the first year? Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundred thousands, millions?

Was this always the case? I hope not.

I suspect Christianity introduced something new: belief as moral by itself, or perhaps just intensified it. I have a feeling that for the old timey Greeka that mattered less. Do your sacrifices and do your rituals and does anybody actually give a shit what you believe about Zeus? And does Zeus having a single goddamn opinion about climate change or evolution? (Maybe he did, I'm guessing here).

But now we have Truth as Team Sports. And I'm aware there's a whole complicated propaganda network designed to manufacture a lot of this bullshit. We were quite close to Evangelicals not caring about abortion, plus or minus a few historical differences.

Now belief in Climate Change has Moral qualities. And belief in Evolution. And any number of other things. Thank Amaterasu there's nothing in the Bible contradicting germ theory or general relativity.

In “genealogy of morals” Nietzsche goes on about “the Jews” and how they have in mind a great revenge. I know Freddie wasn’t thinking about modern military violence or the modern conception of Israel but as I read this in 2024 I can’t help but wonder if this connects. On Nietzsche and antisemitism: I understand that Nietzsche’s view of the Jews is rather controversial and I don’t want to argue those claims. If it can be relegated to the general antisemitism of the time or if we can just pin it to his sisters posthumous editorial work.

If you study cell biology, then you'd probably know that everything in a cell seems to know what it's doing. It's like a man made assembly and manufacturing machine. The DNA prints out the code for making a specific kind of protein, other proteins transcribe it into RNA, then other specific proteins escort the RNA into ribosomes for code reading and the manufacting of that specifically coded protein. Then another very specific protein escorts that protein to the specific place in the cell that it's needed. And then there's waste disposal and recycling of cell parts. It's a little city of impressive oranization all unto itself. It's like watching an organized ant colony, only it's with specific molecules that seem to "know" what they're doing. They even seek out what they need. How could it "know" what it needs?

Do I throw out this weed ? (Help)

I stored an ounce of weed in a jar that also contained carpet deodorizer. The deodorizer is made up of sodium silicate and baking soda. To the best of my knowledge none of the weed was ever in direct contact with the deodorizer, the weed was stored in a plastic bag. Obviously this is not ideal as I will be smoking the weed and it was a bit of an error of judgement on my part. Given that the bag was in the same enclosed area as the deodorizer and probably not airtight, should I throw out the whole ounce? There is not a chemical smell or anything to indicate that it is contaminated. Any advice would be amazing. Thank you!

if "slowly" means "in a slow way", "funnily" means "in a funny way" then "holy" means "in a ho way"

How do you get to that point of not being annoyed with trivial things?

Like so many people say think trivial about this or that and it's like how? I have anger issues, I admit. I slap the fuck out of inanimw things when they annoy me. How could I change this?
