This will never be the real type It's called build yourself. Like how do you construct a mindset that actually lets you go forward? so I'm a freak for looking at the human animal as a biological entity and so understanding how thoughts

So if you really accept that the human is this biological creature, that thoughts become literal physical wiring in your brain, and that your brain wants to think the thoughts that are easiest, whatever you repeat then becomes the easiest. It goes into what's called the default network in the brain, and that's just where you always default.

Yeah, I haven't done that yet. I'm keenly interested. The one that I would do literally this afternoon if I had access to it legally would be MDMA. To sit down with my wife and do MDMA together I think would really be extraordinary.
