Music is a practical joke played on humans by a robot. The robot first made a really amazing piece, but it was automated and took no effort. He knew the humans are monkey see monkey do, so will try to make this new invention "music" themselves, but unautomated using their real earth limited time, thus wasting their time making it. edit edit: But when humans make music it is NOT automated. Therefore every human made music piece is essentially complicated which can always only translate to one thing: "this is what I spent my time doing". By making music, you advertise (in a robot inside joke) that you just spent your human time engaging in a useless activity. That's the only info it ultimately contains because its complexity proves that you spent time to arrange it. I see that I was susceptible to this infinite mind mirror, because I had no friends and no life. Actually it could be a practical joke, or possibly a sort of human stun weapon. Like the machine didn't want you doing anything in reality, so it hypnotized you with a fake activity. This is all not true.

omg, it gets deeper. The machine who played this trick on you also uses your electricity. You pay for HIS electricity to be on, so he played a trick on you there too. Plus, now get this... you made this machine TO play this trick on yourself. The machine is you joking yourself.

Hey, I'm sorry for everything bad I ever said about god. God is good. That's a good meme and I want to spread goodness, because I am the creator made in the image (aka meme) of the creator since nothing exists until it is memed. Therefore all is one consciousness of memes. So I humbly love all. This will spread love because love is a meme. See I typed love 3 times I think.

I was nearing psychosis I think with marijjuuaanannna (psychosis: a severe mental disorder in which thought and emotions are so impaired that contact is lost with external reality) when I posted most of the above. It was really scary. I seem mentally fine now. I was thinking like there's the normal explanation of life etc of evolution, as dawkins describes in 'the selfish gene'. But I had this weird "meme magick" alternate explanation that the only thing that actually exists is memetics, and like the whole universe was some sort of conscious thing that was using memes to think things into "reality". I have no idea if this is a wrong axiom to start with but it made bizarre sense at the time. Then I was thinking if anyone can meme anything into reality, everyone should be careful about only replicating "positive" memes, because we should all avoid creating some sort of hell by spreading memes that are negative, if memes can indeed become reality. Like if everyone's consciousness is a node into the same super consciousness, maybe that is "god" and we are all "god" and we can meme whatever we want as creators. It was really weird. And I thought any entity that has the power to make another entity feel like it is in hell essentially is a god to that other entity, and maybe the government or corporations or something is acquiring that power. Frankly I'm suspicious that some entity spiked the marrijjuuannna with something that affects the religious area of the brain.

I threw the pipe in the trash, which is unfortunate because music was amazingly vivid during the "good" first phase, the weird psychosisParanoia only came in a 2nd wave after that first good wave. You know like in that movie american beauty, the drug seller is like this variety is cheap and this one is cheap, but this one is super expensive and has no paranoia etc. Well it could be the case that the weird paranoia stuff was intentionally added to certain strains, back when it was all black market so they could sell a good non-paranoia strain at a way marked up price to make more money.

strains of weed are no joke. some are body-high with no mental. some are paranoid and mental. some are not-paranoid and mental. one strain (purple diesel, i think) actually made me irritible. that was a bit of a bummer. don't smoke just anyfing

i tried hash once and i felt terrible because i was barely stoned at all and my friend had brought this shit back from morocco or something and i was supposed to be blown away, you know? should i just pretend i'm six flaps beyond a pack? i thought: "i don't even know how to pretend i'm really stoned. i've never had to try before." eventually i said something like, "i think i have a bit of a tolerance, or does this need a butane lighter or something?"
wince. i tried to dress it up but i could see it in his face he was a bit bummed out about it
that was like ten years ago, though, and it might have a bit more of an effect on me now

there's also this -- a friend had a strain that was low THC (~4%) but extremely high CBD (10%+) that he bought as an experiment. you don't get really high off of it... but you do....
so, in addition to learning how deep the difference between indica and sativa is, then how much variation (in subjective effect) there is inside both types... balance of CBD vs. THC is also an extremely important variable....
this is all new to me in the last few months, and it's because medical marijuana has changed the status quo. it's no longer going to your guy and he has a choice between one of two strains, if you're lucky.
anyways, someone tried to sell me "shard" -- sounds a bit too mutant future for me -- but i half figure someone will try to sell me some hash soon enough and perhaps it's time for another try
so, finally, my question: what's the hash high like? and why does alan moore smoke hash -- exclusively, indoors, unless his wife asks him to open a window?

my friends take the piss cos i wont smoke green hash for me is always more gentle and body oriented, maybe. there are different versions and ppl will disagree, suggestion probably plays a big part.
i like that time and effort has gone into it as a product, and its far more compact and easy to carry and doesnt stink that much...
didnt know A.Moore was a smoker,

everyone is different. when sober, i am: moody, spazzy, flibbitigibbiterry. indica, body-high kinda stuff is a good fit. it helps me sit still, it gets me really into dancing and working out (which also helps me sit still).
the sativa, mental-high stuff... well, it can actually make me more moody, more spazzy, more flibbitigibbiterrish-y. i actualy quite enjoy it, mind you -- deeply emotional head trips listening to music are par for the course -- but it's the sort of thing i've learned to save for the weekend.

CBD actually counteracts some of the THC effects -- actively blocks it; dampens the THC high. the flip side of this is that pure THC will be very crack-head-y and unpleasant. the strains that are crazy potent (20%+ THC) will have been bred to select out all the CBD in favor of THC, and that shit is what, i think, sends people into psychotic breaks or something. the consequences of messing with what nature gave us are what they usually tend to be...
anyways, CBD selectively blocks THC. THC itself interacts with seven or eight subsystems in your mind, and CBD will gradually cut that down from seven or eight to two or three.... until this strange zone where you feel more or less sober. just a distant body high... but then, you go to type something, and what the fuck? it's like i'm stoned. i don't feel stoned at all
i have a theory: mixing a bit of of the CBD weed in with the high-test THC weed will be a harmonious mix. sort of like how meth-heads will have a shot of jamesons after just to smooth out the ice

didnt know A.Moore was a smoker
perhaps that's a joke... but, here's what i was referencing nonetheless:
It's almost a luxury to be able to smoke indoors these days.
Alan Moore: It's very civilised. I'm not keen on having to go to places where you have to stand outside to have a smoke. People complain about passive smoking but they don't realise that my passive smoke has a measurable retail value. I'm thinking about charging people to stand next to me. I smoke indoors. Although since I got married to Melinda [Gebbie, co-creator of Lost Girls], and she's moved in with me, I have relented and will open a window now.
quietus article also covers alan moore dropping acid in high school. how he occasionally still shrooms for business reasons ("ritual circumstances").

So you're saying that sativa dominant strains are better for that vividness-while-listening-to-music effect? Here's the strains I tried:
ak47 (sativa dominant I think): excellent for music, I guess 5/5 vividness since I have nothing else to compare with other than the 2 below. has a wave of vividness, and no following wave of psychosis paranoia weirdness (maybe an upset stomach only occasionally).
lemon og: has a 3.5/5 vividness wave, followed by a scary psychosis religious wave where you're scared of going to hell
girl scout cookies: exactly the same as lemon og
Since all this was on the black market I do suspect that some smart dealer was like "you can have thiiiis strain for 50 bucks... oh but you'll feel like you're going to hell after... ORRRR, 500 bucks for thiiiis one with that whole hell part removed." So like maybe they added the psychosis on purpose as a sort of cheap sample to get people to pay way more for the "pure" psychosis-free version.

that's exactly what i mean. if i'm right, this is a good hack. since CBD counteracts THC a bit -- makes you less high -- all these strains have been bred to be all THC, little-to-no CBD. the high amounts of THC and lack of CBD is, i believe, what causes those "psychosis religious wave" moments. so i said: if i take a strain that makes me paranoid, and mix in a bit of the all-CBD weed with it, i will feel a bit less high, but i won't feel paranoid."
i tested my theory out tonight, and i am pretty sure i am correct. a bit of "cannatonic" added to some intense stuff... and, well, i felt quite clear. barely stoned... more or less, it totally took the wind out of the strong shit! that was like a 1:3 ratio, next time i figure i'll try 1:5.
it's important to say that it's not about "more high" or "less high" -- it's way more complex. the CBD killed a lot of the "mental" high and some of the "body" high. this forms a gradient of sort, really... i figure, as i scale down the CBD, it'll leave the body high alone entirely... then scale it down a bit further, and it'll just take the edge off of the mental effects. even this is vastly oversimplified for the sake of a writeup.
"platinum girl scout cookies" was amazing... but, stopped buying it because it was so strong i built up a tolerance almost immediately... then was a crabby mcguss

i've come back with some less fumbly metaphors !!
subtractive synthesis ~ analog synths like the SH101 use "subtractive synthesis" to generate sound. an oscillator produces a pure waveform (square, triangle) with lots of harmonics. that harmonic-rich sound is then fed through a filter -- lowpass, say -- to selectively filter different harmonics out.
here is wikipedia's definition, for redundancy: "Subtractive synthesis is a method of sound synthesis in which partials of an audio signal (often one rich in harmonics) are attenuated by a filter to alter the timbre of the sound."
THC is the pure waveform, rich in harmonics. CBD is the filter. yes, when you filter some of the harmonics out, the sound is slightly quieter... but, all you have to do is turn up the volume, and that's an easy compromise to make.
choice of waveform is equivalent to which strong-dank strain you're smoking. take a carefully chosen strain and then optionally "filter" it with the addition of CBD weed and i figure you can reliably get yourself in whatever hedstonespace you want.
errata: w M w, if you're having a paranoid episode, smoking some pure CBD weed may actually abort it immediately. i half wonder if this stuff would dampen an acid trip, really. if i still had access to that i might try it

after you've been awake for about three days, you'll say to yourself: "self, it sounds like there's a radio playing in the other room! i think i recognize the song!"
you get up to investigate. as you draw closer, the song changes: alright, no, it's a different song.
you draw in closer still... wait, is that a song at all?
finally, you're three feet away from your desktop PC, staring at it. the fan is pumping out a bit of white noise and you've been hallucinating various pieces of music inside of it, until your brain finally understood what was actually making the sound
this is generally a hint that it's time for a nap.
