I've smoked DMT and eaten plenty of mushrooms, and I don't believe there's anything supernatural. And if I did, saying it's because of drugs would be a terrible argument for it being true.

Yeah! It's a fun experiment to ask why a certain molecule dancing on a serotonin receptor makes such a crazy experience occur, but by no means does it indicate magic to exist or anything like that.

I've eaten pounds of cubensis (in total) and smoked DMT until I couldn't physically move my arm to take another hit. I've been on incredible, wonderful trips. But, just like you, I know it's happening inside my brain. Truth is stranger than fiction for real.

I'm pretty sure you're responding seriously to satire :)

As a chaote, it honestly didn't register as satire. But if it is, it's spot on.

It's not, I'm a Chaote myself. Let these guys be content with the shadows on the wall. 93/93

Crowing about how you have special knowledge everyone else is too dumb to see is a sure sign of a crackpot.

Are they though?

If not satire I think they are fully aware they are crackpot, hence why it sounds like sarcasm.

Some kind of belief in absurdism? Like a “i 100% know this doesn't make sense and i don't care cause neither do you make sense and were both close enough to stay living” is a vibe i get

I know similar views do exist but i cant actually tell with this guy.
