      Mere The Matrix movie influence. Do you see code running along the walls in game glitches? No? Because simulating that is stupid (just like rendering the sea waves on the whole map in Crysis 2, because of a deal with Nvidia). And our reality is made of atoms anyway.

      Are any of those people software developers? I’m curious what kind of code it is. I hope it’s not JavaScript.

      I took DMT once and it’s in my top ten worst experiences I ever had. Didn’t have a laser with me and even if I had I would’ve be unable to use it.

      However, I also had a common DMT experience: The “dial in” tone. I don’t know why it’s called like that, it has nothing to do with modem sounds. It’s just a really loud high pitched beep that distorts at the end.

          My dislike for PHP is close to my dislike of JavaScript. As far as I know (don’t correct me if I’m wrong, I’d better not know) PHP doesn’t have such an insane community that reinvents every wheel in JS and builds the worst dependency hell one could imagine. Everything else is yanky as hell though.

        If reality was spackled together with js and PHP, it would explain quite a few things

        Thats a good point I would love to know that as well. (not a coder)

        Yeah I’ve heard about the bad experiences thats pretty much why I never actively looked to get any. Like salvia I saw or heard to many bad trips and just noped out.

        Never heard of the “dial tone” just makes me want no not take it more.

        If I could do it in a really controlled environment ok I would. I’m talking rich guy safe, Doc onsite and gentle orderly’s.

        There is a really interesting experiment there, right? I guess we have all watched or heard of Matrix, wondered what if everything is a simulation, and seen code somewhere. What if you take a guy from some backwater place who has never seen any code, give the poor guy DMT and shine a laser at a wall? Is it a thing we imagine because the brain is wired that way? Or because we are culturally primed to imagine this? A guy who has never driven a car probably won’t have that classic “car with no/broken brakes” dream either, right? .

              Yea but you’re not going to see code running if you haven’t ever seen code. This is clearly something coming from culture.

              It’s like people seeing hags in the US under sleep paralysis and people elsewhere seeing other mythological creatures.

                True, my comment was more an also and an as well than a correction.

                I’m getting into Jung a bit right now, and his thinking that the “collective unconscious” is some real extra-dimensional Encyclopedia Brittanica is annoying, though I think that trait is more pronounced among his fans.

            We’ve gone soft as a society, I tell you! If science cannot progress without kidnapping a guy from Sentinel Island and giving him psychosis, then that is a sacrifice I am willing to make!

              That’s not science. Science would be kidnapping a representative group from Sentinel Island and also kidnapping control groups from various places around the world to compare and rule out specific cultures only having that.

              And then the results are dubious anyways because I don’t think there are any translators for the Sentinel Island language, so the only difference you’d see is their sudden rise to technological parity and then superiority to the rest of the world and somehow the control groups are all in contact with them, too, despite the control tests all happening local to their populations.

              By the time you notice the pattern that the control groups are helping the Sentinels take over the planet, it’s too late.

              Then the tables turn entirely and you find yourself kidnapped and led through a building that defies your imagination; rooms seen through hallways look too big, people are doing things you can’t comprehend in some of them. Not like weird rituals but it looks like science, but you don’t recognize any of the objects they were manipulating excitedly.

              You are brought into a room and informed that they are trying to decide whether to punish you for kidnapping them or reward you for inadvertently unlocking their minds.

      You know, one thing i read recently… tons of people say all the wacky near death experiences are a result of dmt flooding your brain, right?

      Well there’s no good evidence for it. Literally they only say that because our bodies like most life produces the chemical, so anything crazy “must be a drug related experience”. But they did studies on rodents which also produce dmt, and nothing showed dmt releasing near death.

      It’s a total cop out of an explanation with no scientific evidence.

        Almost every dream I has a near death experience or multiple. My brain chemistry must be a mess!

        I’ll look into that though, I would like to hear peoples experiences and the theories behind them.

          Almost got eaten by a bear in my dream tonight, I didn’t even get a near-death experience out of it, just trying to fend off an angry bear with a pole I found. Man :(

            My last was a tornado, I was holding on for dear life. I could feel the wind sucking me up, the debris, smell the rain. It was so bad I woke up…

            And like I said in the other post the dream started right up as soon as I fell asleep. That tornado passed, I tried to find shelter and another came thru. I was in a wrecked mechanics garage between a classic C10 and holding on yet again for dear life to a car lift…

            Oh wait that was 2 and 3 tornadoes, there was the near miss in the grocery store earlier. I hid under an old school checkout stand.

            I’m glad you found a pole in your dream. I would have killed for a cellar in mine.
