That's what I meant by "capture."

Harrison Bergeron was required reading when I was in school, and should be for everyone, especially these days.

Or they just read forums like this.

It’s some strange inner calling and mysterious curiosity that draws you into.

I've personally found them to be useful after I've already gained the knowledge to make a significant change, and the trip can help to actualize the understanding of how that knowledge fits into the greater world as a whole. They should definitely be paired with vigorous and passionate pursuit of real world knowledge during the rest of your life, for the best effect, in my opinion.

They just need to figure out how to turn it into a massive advertising campaign, lock everyone in their houses and give them an opportunity to shitpost about how horrible their ideological opponents are, and nobody will question anything they tell you to put in your body to solve depression.

Then some massive org like the NSA creates/captures 51% of the nodes and takes everyone's money overnight.

My own advice is always to make sure you do it in a controlled environment where you can adjust the level of stimulation (lights, music, etc) at will, and make sure you have an experienced friend to take care of you.

I think I've used Amazon a grand total of twice in my life. Got a cheap knockoff of what I actually ordered both times.

From what I understand, psychedelics facilitate the connection of different areas of the brain which don't ordinarily speak to each other. This can be a profoundly spiritual experience, as it tends to be for me, but it will more or less FORCE you to deal with any issues you might have, which can be a terrifying experience for some people.

Eh... piracy wasn't theft even before this, because you're not taking it away from someone else.

Should have just said that it already has female dwarfs and refused to elaborate.

if you find a way to break out of the matrix please for the love of God show me the way

Literally just learn more about the world, not because you hate it and want to escape, but because you love it and want to know more about it. The cool thing about the real world is that it has an infinite depth, so no matter how far you go you will always have more to explore. As beings which inhabit only a small segment of the totality of what exists, you're never going to be capable of "escaping" to the "real world" the way that people talk about it, but that hardly means that you have to stay somewhere that you feel trapped.
