THE UNBELIEVERS - Richard Dawkins & Lawrence Krauss

xxovercastxx says...

@shagen454 @chingalera

I have always wondered why so many people who've used psychedelic drugs think the hallucinations are somehow more real than their normal perceptions.

I can appreciate that hallucinations can give you ideas you'd never otherwise think of. I can see where an artist might benefit from something like that. Even dreams can do this on occasion.

When it comes to understanding reality, it seems to me that our senses are already so inadequate. How can causing them to malfunction be helpful to perception?

This is an honest inquiry. Apologies if I seem mocking or rude.

Best Drive Thru Prank Ever

Horrible Job Interview

Sagemind says...

I just like how it all comes back around.

Some guy sitting at a stop light is startled and confused over some Deja-vu scenario he is going through. She is there to witness it, annoyed, and unwittingly falls into the same schism, as she is set on a similar path.

Only this time, the guy having the original hallucination becomes that delusion and she sees him not once but twice during her experience.
It ends with her being the person sitting at the green light in the Deja-vu scenario, the same as the first guy, with someone behind her honking.

The twist is that her delusion is a strange loop of the first guy's delusion.

We are left to wonder how the first guy's delusion started and continued and we are left to wonder who will next take on the delusional loop - the person behind her, honking, maybe?

I don't agree with @Orz's explaination. This story held no allusions to stereotypes, opinions of others, equality or anything else like that. (at all) That' just reading things into it that aren't there..
I saw a great loop of events that make you stop and think wow, that's some messed up trippy Twilight Zone stuff right there..

I'll try to summarize it for you based on YT comments and personal feelings. Jenny Clarkson (aka Hannah) encounters 3 different yet visually similar people in the course of the day: a distracted driver, a potential boss and a homeless man. She allows common stereotypes and her personal feelings on the matter to drive the opinions she "voices" both mentally and reactionally. The real point is, everybody is human. We let stereotypes and our own personal sense of being "the center of the universe" (a fact which some will try to deny) compel the actions and reactions of our daily lives. We assume things about others and form immediate opinions of situations and encounters as a kind of built-in survival mechanism. Although many of us wish we could treat people equally all of the time, those opinions whether expressed or not will always exist.

To quote Darwin from S01E09 of SeaQuest DSV, "The center of the universe is in you."

I watched exactly one half episode of In Plain Sight.
A guy smoked a half a joint and hallucinated that a plane was trying to shoot him.
Never gave it another chance.

Me! Also, I highly recommend In Plain Sight, if you like Mary McCormack

Damn, that was funny.


That is unfortunate. That sounds like Season 2, Episode 2; not really a good place to try and jump in to a new series. My rule of thumb is to watch the first 4 of a series and then judge. It has worked really well for me so for. I would suggest you should try season 1.


Thanks, I do remember that the person playing her little sister is HOT.

Akin spends money to not really apologize

Near death experiences have been scientifically investigated, and reproduced.

Large power, low frequency EM waves induce similar "white tunnel" prospect.
As does depriving the brain of oxygen.

Its not supernatural, its a hallucination cause your brain gets fucked up as you near death and cant process the world like it should.

Blue screen of death...if you will.

Kids today are going to remember the iPad as this old useless archaic tool that had extremely limited featured, yet sold for a lot of money - the same way I remember my first pong videogame.


I can't agree more.

48 Hours Of Sensory Deprivation

Trancecoach says...

I have a friend who spent several days in what's called "Dark Retreat," which is essentially a sensory deprivation not unlike this one.

After 3 or 4 days she said she was having vivid hallucinations and lucid recollection of early formerly-forgotten childhood memories.

*promote for that very expression. I had the same thought.

Love the love. Promote the love.


>> ^EMPIRE:

that was really nice.
edit: I love his face when the grandson comes in. If he really was thinking about him as he said, he must've thought for a second: "WTF? am I hallucinating?"
