Pedro99 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) @Northerner I think it's pretty clear but ok Maybe take it up with the Nobel Prize committee, I think they gave him the literature prize because he was an idiot.

fyzygy Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) Alan Watts ( a contemporary of Dylan's, back in the day) also drew a distinction between narcotic drugs and psychedelics. But clearly (sorry Bob) LSD belongs in the latter category. Opium? Not sure. Dylan probably saw the worst excesses of 60s psychedelia, but I'm surprised at his take on LSD. For Watts the key distinction was whether a substance (or experience) expanded or reduced consciousness. But even in the case of psychedelics, repeated use was unlikely to deliver on the promise of spiritual liberation. "If you get the message," he said of LSD, "then hang up the phone."

Northerner Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 @Pedro99 Just because a particular group of people agree a pile of dog shit is art, does not stop it being a pile of dog shit. “The art world is the biggest joke going.

Pedro99 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 (edited) How is that remotely relevant? A quote from.. banksy? lol wat You're a bit of a wanker I guess, chiming in when you don't like something that someone else does... No point in me reading or responding to your baiting posts The point being made about LSD by Bob here is not that "cool" people don't use it, it's that the real benefit gained from it is by angry hateful people, because it opens up their hearts (hopefully).

Northerner Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I could be a bit of a wanker or you could be reading me wrong . ¯\_(ヅ)_/¯ You seem a bit defensive/aggressive hey. The quote from Banksy was relevant to the Nobel Prize Committee for literature, is much the same as a the art scene. It's a lot about popularity and perceived value, and the reason I wouldn't take up anything with them. Zimmerman was being pretty obtuse in the quote saying "But LSD is not for groovy people; it's for mad, hateful people who want revenge. It's for people who usually have heart attacks." if that really means it can be healing. None of the LSD users I know fit that description, and if I was going to recommend a psychedelic for someone who does fit that description it certainly wouldn't be acid. Anyhow man, peace hey. I'm not trying to upset you. It's just a internet forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northerner Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 And, to be clear, I wasn't saying Zimmerman is dogshit. I was pointing out that if a particular group of people agree dogshit is art it does not make it so.... that's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SayN Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 When stupidity is considered patriotism, it is unsafe to be intelligent. and There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

SayN Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 “The whole process of child development and education is to take your brain, which is extremely malleable, and force it to be like everyone else’s brain. Under psychedelics, you go back to a state where bits of the brain that haven’t spoken since you were a baby can cross-talk. And it’s that increased connectivity that allows people to get new insights into old problems.” Dr David Nutt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly, he has to put them in place. Yet, they decided to play the "we are innocent" game.
