To whom it may concern ...

Is it just me or are people rather thin skinned around here? Everytime their ideas are opposed or attacked, they get agro, because eeryone has to think their way. I can understand if you get angry when someone literally just skims over your ideas and then attacks them without using any sort of logic, but come on, why get angry when your ideas are so outlandish that you could never prove any of them? For instance, I opposed the ideas of someone in a thread titled "I'm a g-d," only for me to be attacked for being ignorant. All I did was ask the OP to prove he's a God by vertically slitting his wrists, I mean really dig in there, and to post a video of him healing or whatever "G-d's" do. I was labeled as ignorant and stupid for not being able to see the genius of his ideas, and I was only trying to be logical.

Now, what I'm wondering is why can't people defend their ideas? Why are they so averse to reason? If you can't defend your ideas, why post them?

And another thing I seem to think that on this board there appears to be several users who might be suffering from what I percieve to be psychotic breaks, considering that they willfully ingest psycho-active substances, that comes as no surprise, but the fact remains that in their obvious break from reality they post the most absurd things, and when their ideas are opposed they get angry. Some claim they are beyond humans, others insist they are hyper dimensional beings. Now I have nothing against you for your creative thinking, but if you can't defend your ideas, and they don't seem logical even thpugh you steadfastly beleive they hold true, do not attack those who oppose them, simply prove the nay sayers that you are correct by proving that you are in fact what you claim you are.

And if people show concern for your safety by pleading with you to seek assistance for what may seem to them to be a psychiatric problem, why don't you try and seek help? We're all here together, and all we want to do is help one another be the best they can. Where is the love?

There could just be words for the things experienced on the drugs that are indescribable. Could you link topics you have troubles with?

This is just one of the many threads highlighting the ideas I expressed.

He probably shouldn't have used the word God, it has a bad feel to alot of people. If I understand his idea, it is that we all come from the same source, and that we are all one because of that.

It is quite true, but like I said he shouldn't have used the word God because of negative connotations associated with the word.

soo, basically saying, why post ideas, knowing people will attack, if your not going to willfully defend the idea you post, but rather arrogantly attack back with insults and other demeaning ideas??
idk, makes sense to me.
i think a lot of people on here need to learn some self respect before blowin smoke out there arse

Yeah kinda ...

Yeah kinda ...

Being a weed-smoker's forum, many of the people here will naturally be thinking in a less concrete and more intuitional kind of way. This makes it easier to recognise truth, yet in the same degree, it also makes it easier to be deceived by the glamour of an idea. Thus a place like this would inevitably be filled with many developed and shining minds, while at the same time there are bound to be an equal amount of people who are susceptible to glamour and illusion.

This isn't cut-and-dry, either. With the case of a very developed and highly intuitional person who is entertaining and building many brilliant ideas and abstract concepts, you may find definite and observable truths through what is being said, yet even though this is the case you would still find that some of the ideas don't have that same underlying value, even though it seems like they do. This is almost impossible to avoid, for it requires great mental strength and unceasing vigilance to constantly be filtering out the glamorous ideas. It is very easy to be deceived.

Often, the more concrete thinkers are aware of this glamour and so bunch up all of these ideas into one big mental dustbin titled "illusion." This is similar to those times when you've taken psychedelics, and been absolutely convinced of an idea, yet when you sober up and look at the idea with sober eyes, you don't understand how you could've thought that idea, because you are no longer able to access those intuitional strings. The idea which seemed so alive before, becomes dead and strange, even repulsive.

Same thing happens between people, when one cannot understand (in a relative sense) the true meaning of what someone else is putting forth, because they are not in an appropriate state of mind to do so. When the mind-states between two people differ in a great degree, there will always be conflict until one person decides to check himself from brooding over his own state, and start trying to sincerely empathise with the other person's point of view. It is only this pure empathy which will allow us greater understanding, because other humans, no matter how different they seem to be from us, have much to teach us, just as we have much to teach them.

I'm sure many would scoff at the idea of an adult being taught by a child, yet children have a lot to teach adults. To make an irrelevant analogy,"Even the gods have lessons to learn from man." If one craves knowledge, if one hungers for knowledge as one would hunger for air after holding their breath, then one would see the truth behind this, and one would see that there are lessons to learn everywhere one goes, whether they are lessons you share with other people, or those personal lessons which those around you have no idea of.

This has blown my mind

goddamn, that was some real shit just then

my eyes are burning with truth.

This goat of the sea speaks the truth well.

Welcome to the internet.

Intuition has nothing to do with incoherence. Shit is shit. Let's call apples, apples. If you agree with someone's drivel, then you're just fuelling their delusions.

So Goat.cea, what your saying is that whenever someone proposes an idea, we should just blindly follow it, because we aren't high or crazy enough to comprehend it?

The one we shall not name: Hey, Me. Let's jumped in this fire.
Me: WTF?
The one we shall not name: You're lame. Hey, The other one we shall not name. Let's jump in this fire.
The other one we shall not name: Not until we douse ourselves in this canister of gasoline I have just found lying here on the ground next to this huge fire.
The one we shall not name: You're a genius, man.
Me: What part of this plan makes sense or even seems fun to you guys?
The one we shall not name: Shut up. You're just not high enough to understand my intuitive reasoning.
The other one we shall not name: Yeah, Me. You're so ignorant. I bet you still believe that you're a human. You don't know what this government is keeping from you. We are the new race. Earth is but a hologram. Energy cannot be created, only destroyed. Honey is a sweet sticky substance produced by bees. So in closing, bees are taking over the world.
The one we shall not name: You know I never thought of it that way. You're a genius.
Me: Just give me the gasoline. I can't be the only sane man left.

You're really not trying to make it seem like you haven't done the same exact things you're railing against, are you OP?

Because I've seen several posts where you act pretty thin skinned and respond in kind.

Yes, standing up for your ideas is great...but don't call someone out when you act the exact same way sometimes (see your recently closed drug test thread for more info).

There was no discussion of deas in that thread, it was just filled with straight up hate. I thought there was a rule against posting simple one worded answers that don't allow for discussion because this is a forum, but hey what do I know?

And btw the idea I proposed was a gambit. I would have achieved my goal regardless of the outcome.

There's one thing to do man. Ignore it. Ranting and making threads about it changes nothing. It just encourages them to pick fights. Like i said man, throw it under the rug.

That picture is so sexy, I think I'll steal it.
