Remember to keep one foot in reality, buttfucker. The urge to step with both feet into the schizo weirdo realm is always an illusion and a trap.
There are two kinds of people who flirt with crazy ideas:
- Plato, who can successfully keep one foot in discursive this-worldliness and then resort to esoteric muthos when necessary for apophatically describing the ineffable
- LSD burnout who can't be of use to anybody, much less himself, because all of his thought got wrapped around itself in his own head after his second breakdown
