You guys are overthinking psychedelic use; it is useful for introspection and looking at things in a new light. This can either be a very fun experience or very scary mostly depending on your head space going in. However if you use them too much/recklessly or if you are either unprepared or someone with a fragile psyche you will be unable to place your experience in the proper box. For someone who can handle it they will see it as an interesting trip that changed how they view themselves or the world as it is. For retards like Rudy it will be interpreted very literally and will reinforce the negative traits that the experience would otherwise help tear down in a normal person.

If you have schizophrenia in your family, you are more likely to experience psychosis from psychedelic substances like ayahuasca.

 

[AMHOLIO]

In this tweet, the brilliant philosopher Rudyard questions why Schopenhauer is considered a real philosopher and calls him a 'depressed incel'. Perhaps Rudyard could know more about this inquiry if he ever actually read a single work of Schopenhauer.

He probably just saw this post and dismissed him for getting no pussy and not winning.

Spoiler

Ironically, the letter Mrs. Schopenhauer wrote to her son reminds me very much of Rudy.

If you have schizophrenia in your family, you are more likely to experience psychosis from psychedelic substances like ayahuasca.

Ergo a weak psyche, it’s also impossible to know if those who trigger it after use was from the substance or if it was already there and just less noticeable. Lack of research is a big issue with any definitive statements on the potential danger of more experimental hallucinogens like ayhausca

 

[Maniacal Foreigner]

In another wise critique from the great philosopher Rudyard, he insults Montaigne for taking "10,000 pages to say nothing". I suppose it is true from his perspective, as having not read a single page of Montaigne, it would seem like he said nothing.

etc, etc, I can't quote the whole thing.
If I may play devil's advocate for a second, is it not possible that he has read some of these books since then, but just doesn't update his Goodreads anymore?

That's a fair point, but Rudyard just updated his Goodreads within the last day, even writing a review less than a day ago as of now. I also took those screenshots from his Goodreads today so it should be completely up to date.

Rudyard holds other people in very low regard, because he assumes that that is what intelligent men do.

 

[Nachos Bell Grande]

I'm glad some people with actual philosophy chops are able to come in an show how stupid Rudy is with Philosophy. I know enough to know his takes are wrong, but am too much of a filthy casual to really go in deep on Rudy's pop philosophy takes. I get the vibe he watches youtube overviews of most of these and only reads the books that actually peak his interest beyond the cliff notes.

Having seen a few very light videos on Schopenhauer and if your experience with his ideas is a 5-10 minute overview I could see how someone would he's just depressed (the incel part of the take is odd I feel like that's projection lol).

Of the few philosophers I have read their actual books instead of just learning from breakdowns and such is Montaigne and I really don't know where Rudy got that take from that he said nothing. Honestly since Rudy started with the idea of philosophy being stupid you think he'd appreciate Montaigne's assertion that Philosophers are kinda retarded.

Also, are we really supposed to believe that by age 23 Rudy has read all the necessary works and fully deboonked philosophies that have been around for centuries? Does this dude listen to himself sometimes? He could literally start blowing himself and be less masturbatory.

I know several people in grad school who utilize kratom as a tool in a way adjacent to how I abuse nicotine and caffeine during crunch periods. I collaborate with academics often while they're on low doses of kratom; without prior knowledge of their consumption, it would be impossible for me to sense their high. From Rudyard's own words, he's been utilizing it in the same manner--this being said, addicts don't tend to explain their drug use with the utmost honesty.

I dont believe he did small dozes, Rudy was chugging kratom from his gigantic octopus mug like a madman. That mug was almost the same size as his head, but i dont know enough about kratom to speculate that what kinda doze you could make in your holy relic of a mug.

I know one guy who managed to quit harder drugs and drinking with kratom and weed, he hasn't used kratom since he "got clean" but managed to replace previous addictions with weed.

The tragedy of darth rudyard is that anyone truly interested in any topic he discusses will eventually look further into it and conclude rudy has a surface level understanding at best. He rapid fires so many different subjects into a video that you unwittingly just assume he knows whats hes talking about since you can't accurately disprove it yourself.

Spite is a powerful thing. Channel it, use it as motivation to learn more.

Would he be able to reach over his own gunt?

Gambling making such a massive come back also blew my mind, even though that's more intergenerational, I'm just blown away by how many ads you see for gambling websites and apps and how I know more people that gamble than don't. Totally bizarre to me. It feels like life after 2020 is just escapism from reality that is too much ignore anymore.

Western Zoomers are in a weird position.

It partly has to do with the fact that the SC relaxed the regulations on gambling recently, and that gacha games, one of the most popular game genres in the present, are essentially gambling but with jpegs. The potential growth that online gambling has currently is simply unprecedented, and because of that everyone wants to invest in it before the market stabilizes

Kratom in liquid form is usually similar to alcohol where 100ml (double shot) is considered a decent dose. Now this could have been kratom as a tea, pills dissolved into juice or other liquid adding to the volume but not the potency.

Honestly I very much doubt that mug was full of straight kratom. It is possible he has a tolerance due to the multiple withdrawals and relapses (he mentions 9) but I’m still very skeptical.

Never heard of this guy, but when I saw the name come up in new threads, I knew I had to check it, and all I gotta say after is "There but for the grace of God go I."
College and grad school can reinforce some people's egos, but for me it was a severe and necessary reality check.

For many autodidacts, it's their first contact with people who know a lot more than they do, and/or have more brain wattage, and it can be quite humiliating, especially when a professor pegs you as someone that needs to get taken down a few notches. I was lucky in that the few times it happened to me, it was by some venerable old hands who used the Socratic method that was more enlightening to my own flaws as a thinker and lacunae in my knowledge base rather than a public humiliation at the seminar table that some receive.

That this guy washed out as an undergrad means that he must have not only been an egotist, but somewhat disruptive to the general classes, as good profs and grad lecturers know that someone in love with your field should be treated with kids gloves unless they constantly interrupt the flow of class with endless questions, discussions and digressions that throw pacing and point of lectures off for everyone else.

In the end, I decided the whole deal was not for me. Not that I couldn't hack it (though my mediocre language skills meant that certain avenues were closed off), but more for personal and political reasons.

Rather sad when someone is a midwit who thinks midwittery is unrecognized brilliance when challenged.

Prophetic

Rudyard went INSANE off a mega drug trip.... I don't see him recovering from it.

He also gave off massive "I AM VERY SMART" energy and claimed to be a mega chad pussy smasher 3000 while looking like the guy who'd "ummm ACKSHUALLY" a MTG rule....

Because zoomers have been astroturfed by a gaggle of druggie niggerweed retards into thinking being hooked on stuff that alters your brain chemistry is not only a way to stick it to the old farts who came up with DARE, but is 100% guaranteed make you cooler, more intelligent, empathetic, spiritual and successful because everyone who is is totally doing it.

Being part of a generation of terminal depressives constantly chasing escapism probably doesn't help.

Yep, the Zoomers and Alphas are into insane amounts of drug abuse.

On the topic of zoomers lost in escapism. I will say, as a later millennial, it's been wild to see nicotine and gambling addiction come back in full force in zoomers. I remember being a casual smoker in the early 2010s and it was basically a pariah thing to do and seemed like smoking was on the way out, suddenly you make it watermelon vapor instead of smoke and the zoomies are geeking off the stuff. Zyn was the most surprising because I thought for sure dip and other spitting related nicotine wouldn't be popular, but same thing. Make it fruity and not actual tobacco and suddenly you got full on nicotine fiends in high school.

Gambling making such a massive come back also blew my mind, even though that's more intergenerational, I'm just blown away by how many ads you see for gambling websites and apps and how I know more people that gamble than don't. Totally bizarre to me. It feels like life after 2020 is just escapism from reality that is too much ignore anymore.

The glorification of degenerate sports and Vidya gambling is insane.

HOLY SHIT ITS RUDYARD [REAL] !!!

 

[Spunt]

Anyone can have a bright idea. That's the easy bit of being an intellectual. The hard bit is placing your idea in context and testing it. That involves making sure someone else hasn't already had that idea, seeing how it stands up to competing ideas, assuming the point of view of alternative ways of thinking and attacking your own idea from those perspectives. All of that requires a lot of reading and research. Then you have to write all that shit down, proving that you have done all that work, in such a way that other people can follow it. Then you have to defend it against other, equally smart people, for real. Then there's a good chance that your idea doesn't stand up to that scrutiny and you have to start from scratch all over again after months of work.

Those post-revelation tasks are boring and frustrating. It feels like busywork that prevents you from having more bright ideas. But that's how thinking for a living is. Like any job, it's about 2% core creativity and 98% bureaucratic bullshit. Philosophers write massive, long books that have the same ratio - 2% radical ideas and 98% showing their working.

Rudyard thinks he's too smart and important to do that 98%. Even the slapdash editing of his videos is symptomatic of that. Learning to edit properly is too much like hard work, just like reading other thinkers' work. It just gets in the way of the next 3deep5me DMT-fuelled insight.

Rudyard is a pretty smart guy but he's lazy, and I think a little insecure. Not only does he not see the value in showing his working, I think he's secretly scared that actually learning about great thinkers will reveal that they're smarter and deeper than he is, a really scary prospect for someone whose entire self-worth is predicated on being the cleverest guy in the world. He's a homeschooled sperg who never learned proper academic technique, and that's why he sucks at debating because he's up against people who are used to defending their ideas. A midwit who has the right academic discipline will always wipe the floor with a sloppy genius. And Rudyard isn't a genius.

but i dont know enough about kratom to speculate that what kinda doze you could make in your holy relic of a mug.

As @EzRolling , it could be a small amount in a large glass, but that dose has the potential to be huge. The volume of the liquid doesn’t necessarily mean anything for the dosage. It could have been a spec of the powder, or three mega scoops of kratom. Since he’s apparently entering trances from kratom, I’d wager on the latter.

Now this could have been kratom as a tea, pills dissolved into juice

Maybe it’s just because it’s how I did it, I honestly figure it’s the powder mixed with something. Making the tea is a bitch and takes a bit of time, but you end up with particulates in it anyway. You want to digest the powder for the full effect instead of making tea out of it. Besides that, if he’s taking kratom multiple times a day, he’d basically end up making tea every single day, or multiple times a day. I don’t remember the tea tasting too awful but someone else said he did wince at some points, suggesting an awful taste.

You can get kratom from a smoke shop or online in powder form quite easily, so I don’t see why he’d dissolve pills in a liquid. Pills in liquid would honestly be fucking stupid. I’ve stated before but pills are the best way to take kratom to avoid the horrendous taste.

Pure speculation, I bet he gets powdered kratom in bulk either at some nearby smoke shop or order bulk online and just mixes it in his liquid of choice. The huge mug to me suggests a larger amount with more liquid trying to drown out the taste.
