   Psychedelics-heads always talk the big talk about the ego-diminishing effects but every one I meet has a huge ego can someone explain this phenomenon

     @dicey @rees @hidden @kekkerel @vriska the anti-racists like to say that white people don't have a culture, and technically it's true. However, the French, the Germans, the Scandinavians, the Italians, the English, the Irish, the Russians, the Spanish, the Portuguese, and many other groups I've left out (especially in Eastern Europe) definitely have unique and rich cultural traditions. "White people" isn't a homogenous group, so there isn't a homogenous culture or tradition. Religion can serve as a substitute for that sense of community. I do agree that many congregations are greedy, grasping bastards though, because it's true.

     Disagree. It may not be as monolithic as some, but it's definitely there. Random European person will come talk to me over an Indian guy because he knows I'm more like him on average.

     It's more a tradition in Europe. People show normal range of emotions and don't rely on the supernatural for emotional life. It's culture and tradition in Europe. Christianity in US is very money based and has stunted Americans emotionally

     @dicey @kekkerel @rees @hidden @vriska that's the cost of diversity imho. Not being a homogenous country, the US doesn't have homogenous traditions. What traditions we do have were co-opted by corporations a long, long time ago.
     
     Caught myself humming a jaunty Christmas tune the other day, but I couldn't remember the lyrics. Then I realized it was "I'd like to teach the world to sing" from the Coca-Cola ads in the 70s and 80s. Fucking brainworms

     In my experience, the piousness of Europeans is extremely limited. I can think of some examples to the contrary, but Europe as a rule does not have zeal.

     @dicey @hidden @vriska both of your examples involve things that are either before or after the human experience. I was saying buddhists do some weird shit like self-immolation or kaihogyo. shia muslims do self-flaggelations with swords. christians aren't that bad on the "religion-to-reality" tier-list.

     @dicey @hidden @vriska there's two differences. 1) religion is a social construct, i.e. we wear clothes because everyone else wears clothes and being nude would be strange 2) religion is a possible explanation and guideline for life, it's not a warping of reality. if you were born in a dystopic world where you didn't know who invented the TV or how it works, but it still existed, it'd be normal to believe that it was created by the gods, it would be strange to believe it's communicating with you

     abrahamic religions usually deal with the afterlife and don't touch the real world that often except for like the crusades/inquisitions, you'd probably be better off pointing to buddhism they do some wacky shit

     I am a normal A4 individual who you can't tell that have any problems outside. I just think I can communicate telepathically but use it for entertainment. I have no issues whatsoever in surviving or presenting as normal. If I was psychotic as I have been earlier in life I wouldn't be able to feed myself. But I been normal since 2017

     @hidden @vriska ego-death or "ego-projection" or w/e, just sounds like a manic episode. feelings of grandeur. "The terms "mania" and "manic episode" describe a state of mind characterized by high energy, excitement, and euphoria over a sustained period of time."

     @vriska Yeah, it's in the name which means "Psyche made visible." People think they're finding a brand new way to connect with the world when it seems to me that it's more about revealing the subtle hidden parts of their own psyche that they struggle to find on their own. I have a possibly incorrect hunch that the ego-death people talk about on psychedelics is more like ego-projection since they often report identifying with the environment in a way someone who reaches ego death by meditating or runners high or extreme epic awesomesauceness doesn't.
