ITT: Post the latest thing of any kind you've learnt

I want to lick her asshole

... I'll start: "zany" comes from a classical character in Italian plays. Here it is as a quote, but this comes from Ambrose Bierce's Devil's Dictionary so don't take it literally,
>Zany n. A popular character in old Italian plays, who imitated with ludicrous incompetence the buffone, or clown, and was therefore the ape of an ape; for the clown himself imitated the serious characters of the play. The zany was progenitor to the specialist in humor, as we to-day have the unhappiness to know him. In the zany we see an example of creation; in the humorist, of transmission. Another excellent specimen of the modern zany is the curate, who apes the rector, who apes the bishop, who apes the archbishop, who apes the devil.

The literary industry will accept any dogshit if they can meme about it in their articles, so I might as well write what I want and call it sci-fi, like I've been doing.

I've learned that reading is ultimately useless, and that I will find a much more fulfilling life through shitposting.

Learned who Euboleus was and the mythological significance of his pigs

Learned that the name Benjamin can mean "son of the right," as in "son of the right hand," but that the Hebrew word for right also means "South." However, Benjamin was also the son of Jacob and Rachel, and Rachel died shortly after childbirth. This is significant because it be a corruption of the name "Benoni" meaning "son of my pain," or "son of my days," or "son of my age."

>>8295253
I learned recently about a video-game term that teenagers these days throw around: "overpowered," or "OP" for short. If a character type in a competitive video game is inordinately more powerful than the others, then it is "overpowered"; the game as a result is deemed "unbalanced," and fans will complain on forums that the developers have delivered to them a swift "slap in the face." It's an interesting metaphor. Life, of course, is no game, and it's a truism that it isn't fair. But every once in a while we get a striking reminder of how unevenly Mother Nature distributes her gifts. Take the literary world for instance. By any measure, David Foster Wallace, the author of the acclaimed novel Infinite Jest, was overpowered. If he were a class in a role-playing game, then you wouldn't hear the end of the complaining. When it came to the writing of fiction, Wallace blew his competitors—historical and contemporary both—out of the water. To borrow another term from video gaming, it's fair to say that he "owned" them. When Infinite Jest hit book stores in February 1996, the title's two words were in the mouth of every serious reader in America; every living writer, however, was faced with a different pair of words: "Game Over."

I know a dude that fried his brain with shrooms.
I always felt like there was something off about him mentally, then he told me about the time he took 9 ounces of shrooms and had a badass fuckin spiritual awakening and it totally opened his fuckin mind, bro.

Then I met another guy who's hobby is pretty much hallucinogens and he was fried almost beyond being a functional human being. Also very ~spiritual

>>8302748
All drugs do is launch you into altered states haphazardly. This puts significant stress on the nervous system. So when you want to develop your awareness in a contained and balanced manner, you really don't want to yo-yo it back and forth with strange substances.

Every drug user I've met has had a strange glaze to them, you can tell the stuff took its toll. Some remain functional but where they're at isn't anything you cant achieve naturally. I only ever did weed and MDMA then quit once I knew it was going nowhere.

Some may try to say "You didn't do shrooms, LSD etc. so you don't know what you're saying", but its ultimately the same principle in that drugs simply alter your perception; the only real difference between them is how far you are "flung" during the experience.

Trust me when I say you'll get much stronger and lasting benefits from regular mediation than any drug trip. Very few people can even recall much less consciously use what they learn during those trips. Making it effectively useless.

Tragic catharsis, as described by Aristotle, is a very real psychological phenomenon, and it can be felt in varying degrees. For example, the catharsis we feel when we read a tragedy and identify with the hero is incomparably small when placed next to the catharsis we can feel when something tragic occurs in our lives, and we then identify our own situations with tragic and mythic figures.

I have learned that this experience is extremely painful. It sort of reminds me of some of the posts I've read on here about people that drop too much acid and read Hegel. The Ego just shatters with the horror, but it pulls itself back together through the example of tragic heroes. It's like when Nietzsche described the Dionysian moment of culture countered by the Apollonian; in the exact moment everything reaches its lowest, when the self shatters under the weight of the realization, Apollo appears with Medusa's head, and rationality raises you out of the abyss. Besides the image of Apollo at the Centauromachy, another allegory like Jacob's dream of the ladder after fleeing form Esau fits.

Well, it's either that or I've just experienced a rather acute panic attack and I've been reading too much

>>8302748
Not that guy but take in mind that most hallucinogenic users are image conscious teens and twenty year olds and are idiots for that reason. Drugs only gave people like that a social catalyst around which to gather and encourage each other to stay stupid. The psychedelic experience can be therapeutically deconditioning like meditation and can give one vivid realizations of their introspective worlds without some dipshit trying to turn it into a religious odyssey through cognitive hyperspace.

>>8302769

I know a few people like that, the scariest thing is that they genuinely aren't self aware to the point where they don't realise even a possibility of an error in their reasoning

>>8302785

I agree on the whole strange glaze thing. I often feel alienated from those types, almost pissed off at them for how clunky their demeanour is. I have dabbled frequently with weed/mdma and a few other substances, but I don't really consider them to be even nearly similar to acid

>>8302796

Not sure why you're trying to make this somekind of objective statement, because its really not true unless you're going to resort to saying alcohol or coffee is a drug. You wouldn't exactly be wrong either, but within this context its pretty try-hard.

>>8302905
Alcohol is definitely a drug, just a much more socially acceptable one compared to illicit ones.

I've been lately starting to realize how much of antiquity we have lost, particularly from Greek theatre and the early Roman historians. I really don't care much about all we've lost of Sappho, because what remains is pretty good, but I would kill to read some of Livy's sources or literally any complete trilogy by Aeschylus or Sophocles (baring the Oresteia).

Also Thebes is gay. Probably the gayest place on earth until San Francisco.

>>8302851
That's not necessarily true.
I always understood shyness as based on the fear of negative judgement from others in general, no matter how great you see yourself.

I'm on mobile so I'll keep it short, but, I'd disregard the other posters' opinions
First off they seem inexperienced (assuming they've ever tried hallucinogens in the first place) and very biased
I'll concede on the stereotypes: spirituality, oneness, etc but that's because they seem to hold true. Much more for shrooms than acid, because they make your mind race more, but I've seen the stereotype hold true in my multiple groups of "psychonaut" friends.
But like anything else you get what you put into it, and moderation is key. That one kid mentioned doing multiple OUNCES of shrooms is asking for psychosis, not a good experience
If you're interested I def recommend hallucinogens. Go into it with a clean, open, mind and you'll come out with a nice experience. Whether you'll like it enough to repeat the experience is up to personality
Happy tripping ~

Just to briefly chime into this, psychedelics may have value, but not in the direct way that you would expect.

For starters, they don't bestow some sort of magical external wisdom upon you and there's no "new", additional information. Everything you get during the experience is coming from your brain rapidly making new connections in ways it hasn't before, so that regular things and concepts seem "novel" to you.

This could mean that during the experience that you will most likely see yourself in a "novel" manner as you make new connections about yourself. This is where people draw the introspective elements from, I believe.

The fault there however, lies in the introspection itself. Contrary to popular belief, introspection is not even close to sufficient for meaningful understanding of oneself. After all, introspection led Plato to his theory of forms, and descartes to his substance dualism and those guys were analytical geniuses... To say nothing of your average pedestrian retard.

But remember how I mentioned earlier about novelty coming from new and random connections? This is where I believe that psychedelic drugs could have their use, if they had one. For some time after your "trip", I think your brain is more likely to make the types of leaps you would make during the experience itself. These kinds of connections help with creative problem solving and I think this is what people refer to as "perspective"... But most importantly, I think having any kind of novel perspective is useless without serious analytic training- just because you found a new way to look at something, doesn't necessarily make it applicable or valuable.

thanks a bunch, all valuable words which I promise to remember

>>8306636
Always remember that setting is KEY to a good trip. You're going to want a TRUSTWORTHY sober person as a "tripsitter" with you, all obligations for the rest of the day sorted, and going into the experience with a clean, level-headed conscience.

Psychadelics have a lot to teach one if respected and not abused.

>>8306649
The tripsitter is not completely necessary if youve got a good head on your shoulders, but in that case, youre going to want to do a good amount less than an "average trip" to assess how you handle it.

Also, one should not experiment with psychadelics if you have any genetic family history of serious mental healgh problems.

>>8306649
>Psychedelics have a lot to teach
Coming from someone who has experienced most degrees of trip including ego death, no, they don't teach you anything. They're just good at rearranging what you already knew

>>8306661
Alright, that's true. But that perspective-change can be profound for many in some ways, and make future introspection improved (if not abused)

Though the psych trip: meditation thing was also a false equivalence. (In orthodox Zen Buddhism, meditation should alwayd be done sober, but I do remember reading something about a drunken Zen master)

(that being said, one can also have sex whilst high)

I think some of the new-age psychonaut thpe that like eastern aesthetics are the ones that help dissuade people from ever trying psychs out, but you cant knock it indirectly because of a few "duude, were like, all One man, woah, like, fibonacci sequences bro"s.

I'm of the opinion that everyone should experience at least one true trip in their life (if no mental health/family history of mental health problems), but I suppose that's an extreme view in the present.

>>8307042
When we're talking about expanding awareness and gaining a stronger understanding of onself day-by-day, meditation is frankly unparralelled. The gains from psychadelic use are considerably unreliable and haphazard, as we can gather from so many accounts, not so from meditation.

My argument is from a point of sheer pragmatism; I'm not interested in judging people for using drugs. Since the anon in question was already worried about adverse effects from drugs use then the alternative is a very clean and straight line. What else needs to be said?

>Go into it with a clean, open, mind and you'll come out with a nice experience.

too right, I stayed awake all the night before because of nerves. Got a little anxiety upon just putting it in my mouth.
But I demanded long before I did it I would only do so until mentally ready. I made all necessary preparations to insure my safety and enjoyed the great outdoors immensely. I'd have to say that it was a fun experience, and I intend on doing again some day. I'm in no rush, mind you, because you can't recreate *anything* perfect, let alone a mental experience.

The key is to be with people you trust, deeply trust. You will think very clearly, to a fault. Do not drive, do not interact with figures of authority and do not endanger yourself unnecessarily. Just have fun, its more or less the awakening of a child inside you.

It made me talk nearly continuously for 6 hours and then adopt an intense thirst for exploration. If I had been with people I didn't trust I surly would have been silent for 12 hours nervously watching the other people, and thankfully that didn't happen.

Authors taking copious amounts of pure LSD in the 60's has blessed us with one of the most pure and collected periods of >psychonaut
literature. And their experiences were all different, yet we can see the human conscience adopts similar traits while on these hallucinogens. They're not magic. They're not an answer to your depressive woes and philosophical bullshit. They help you go - mentally - from A-->B-->C and so on. You hold less bias, you accept answers and ask even more questions.

Personally, I would never waste an acid trip in my house. It'd be an awful confinement as I struggle to not acknowledge how I've allowed myself to live in squalor. Nature is perfect, go to a nice campground on an off day when nobody is gonna be around. That's nice, being able to look at the infinity finite patterns of nature. Cells on cells on cells. Might as well do it once, though I've heard that once is enough to send the more mentally vulnerable into a schizophrenic breakdown.

For a little further information, imo, acid is to have fun, shrooms are for introspection
There is cross usage, but primarily I think acid is to trip out and see things while shrooms are the only drug I will do/recommend doing alone
As to someone saying you don't need a trip sitter, that's true over time. For the first time or two a trip sitter is imperative

I'd say the opposite. Most people with a "it's meh" view of psychadelics generally tend to be of a more shallow personality type. And have degenerate IQ lvls

I recommended a book to the girl at the return desk and then I asked her out: she rejected both offers. Then I went and reread the book and realized that it's too heavy for her anyways. I talked to her again about the subject matter (Greek classics) and found out that she's a total pleb but a qt.

>In regard to the meaning and etymology of the word "Belial" there has always been a wide difference of opinion. The Septuagint, in translating it "lawlessness"—ἀνόμημα (Deut. xv. 9), ἀνομία (II Sam. xxii. 5), or παράνομος (Deut. xiii. 14; Judges xix. 22; and elsewhere)—follows a rabbinical tradition which interpreted it as "beli 'ol" the one who has thrown off the yoke of heaven (Sifre, Deut. 93; Sanh. 111b; Midr. Sam. vi.; Yalḳ. to II. Sam. xxiii. 6; so also Jerome on Judges xix. 22, "absque jugo." Belial was accordingly considered the opponent of the rule of God; that is, Satan, or the antagonist of God (see Antichrist). Aquilas (LXX., I Kings xxi. 13) translates it ἀποστασία = sedition, in the same manner that the "naḥash bariaḥ," or dragon ( = Satan), is described as the apostate. The various modern etymologies, taking the word as a combination of "beli yo'il" (without worth) (Gesenius), or of "beli ya'al" (never to rise)—that is, never to do well (Ibn Ezra, Lagarde, Hupfeld, Fürst)—are alike rejected by Moore as extremely dubious (commentary to Judges, p. 419). Theodotion to Judges xx. 13, Ibn Ezra (Deut. xv. 9), and so Luther and the A. V. occasionally take Belial as a proper noun. It was Bäthgen (commentary to Ps. xviii. 5) who first translated Belial, "the land from which there is no return," and then Cheyne (in "Expositor," 1895, pp. 435-439, and in the "Encyc. Bibl." s. v. "Belial"). They proved it to be the exact equivalent of the Assyrian "matu la tarat" (the land without return)

Dickens sucks

I've read up to the Hindu epic part in steppenwolf and they sound kind of neat.
It's like in the west we try to characterize a select person in a story with a couple solid traits but in Indian literature they make a greater spirit and everyone in the story has a couple fluid traits from it.

>reckon (v.) c. 1200, recenen, from Old English gerecenian "to explain, relate, recount," from Proto-Germanic *(ga)rekenojan (source also of Old Frisian rekenia, Middle Dutch and Dutch rekenen, Old High German rehhanon, German rechnen, Gothic rahnjan "to count, reckon"), from Proto-Germanic *rakina- "ready, straightforward," from PIE *reg- "to move in a straight line," with derivatives meaning "direct in a straight line, rule" (see regal). Intransitive sense "make a computation" is from c. 1300. In I reckon, the sense is "hold an impression or opinion," and the expression, used parenthetically, dates from c. 1600 and formerly was in literary use (Richardson, etc.), but came to be associated with U.S. Southern dialect and was regarded as provincial or vulgar. Related: Reckoned; reckoning.

>calculate (v.) 1560s, "to compute, to estimate by mathematical means," from Latin calculatus, past participle of calculare "to reckon, compute," from calculus (see calculus). Meaning "to plan, devise" is from 1650s. Replaced earlier calculen (mid-14c.), from Old French calculer. Related: Calculable.

I had an experience on shrooms which 'opened' my mind by allowing me to picture my attachments to friends. It made me realise that I had not until then viewed them as autonomous individuals but had subordinated them to me. I was labeling people, and implicitly hinging the definitions on myself.

I could see how I reified relationships, commodities, etc, and left me alone in myself.

I've only taken shrooms twice and I'm not even sure if I would recommend it. But it's not worthless.

While this is true, it also conveniently omits that science is far more efficacious and results oriented than any other branch of philosophy. Science is that branch of philosophy which accrues physically tangible, exceptionally highly utilitarian technology.
