It's funny that eating vet based dog feces pills fixed my cluster headaches full stop. Amazing how many of these solutions focusing on DMT and Psilosybin are replicatable with FMT. https://t.co/lknKIZLzs0
For all my new followers: Guys, you remember how anesthesia was discovered and then _not used_ for about 50 years? Yeah, for 50 years it was known that nitrous oxide, ether, and chloroform could abolish the pain of surgery and yet _nothing was done about it_. Well, it turns out right now there is a disease that's far more painful that surgery without anesthesia called cluster headaches. Standard medicine isn't very effective against it. It's 10/10 pain for 1-3 hours 1-3 times a day 3 to 12 months per year. Huge suicide baserate in sufferers (nicknamed "suicide headaches"). Pain is literally worse than receiving a gunshot. It's certainly much more painful that surgery without anesthesia. And guess what? DMT can be used to abort it in seconds, even at sub hallucinogenic doses for some patients. This is, I argue, literally one of the absolute most important EA cause areas right now, and almost nobody is working on it. If we get our act together, we could literally abolish this hell in the span of years. Will we?
Let me just install some meta-parasites in your brain, NBD.https://t.co/st0PA51vbo

@myceliummage My system being stuck wasn't mental trauma. It was my gut being destroyed and triggering a persistent inflammatory feedback loop.Fixed that, and my pain, anxiety & fear went away.Can't make oxytocin in brain from social contact if there is no gut-brain axis to trigger it.
yeah, sure it helps, but in that state you are also in a hyper plastic brain state and under the influence of chemicals that make you hyper-trusting.Better pick a good shaman, lest ye be led into a cult.https://t.co/u5Lhg0TRe1
Fucking AI hippies man, what can you do?https://t.co/0j7jsISmuO
Running around getting people to take drugs that erases people's agency and motivation and allows you to install your own directives? We've got a term for that.https://t.co/AkhNw9mFQ4

@myceliummage @TylerAlterman Self induced psychopathy is a hell of a drug. Seems to be that would be the natural result of min-maxing toward some kid of effective altruism despite emotional trauma. Shut down emotion... tada, no more trauma.Utility monster, but for a cause. Zombification.
Did you know there are indications that modulating serotonin via Ayahuasca/Psilosybin might be able to reverse diabetes?If you figure out how this works... you don't need the drugs, and can avoid getting memetically poisoned by a false prophet. https://t.co/0N5iRZnGta
Have you considered that using drugs that impact oxytocin associated trust signaling via the gut-brain axis are not the safest thing to be doing around mimetic parasites?https://t.co/0lbVDan0Oc
It's a shame really what's happening to TPOT.https://t.co/KLXa2vfzzQ
Some guy comes along and tells you to eat the funny mushroom, or lick the cute little frog, and you just do it because they are your friend?Suddenly your guard is forced down and you are effectively altruized... https://t.co/79NpJGh1Tf
There's a time and a place for these kinds of interventions, and I think there is genuine healing to be had with them. But these are loaded guns when placed in the wrong hand.https://t.co/tJzVYx76Lf
@setrofim @Plinz That is still a meme. There is no external inoculation against an infectious idea except another infectious idea (as far as I can gather).I suspect critical thinking is just one of a number needed in one's epistemic immune system to avoid succumbing to infectious agents.
I actively guard against implementing similar methods to manipulate people unintentionally. This stuff is dangerous when done via a sociopathic mindset and even doing it by accident is a bad.https://t.co/IY4vPYbkDl
@yungdeleuze @GRITCULT @remi_walle I specifically avoid oversharing because of how easy it is to manipulate people with it. The excessive gregariousness seems to trigger the same psychological identity stuff behind the Ben Franklin Effect. It can be useful, but is a double edged sword that can lead to groupthink.
If EA is being parasitzed by a bunch of pseudo-shamans claiming to speak for the AI godhead, then that's not good.https://t.co/xl0djTSLyf
Motherfuckers you gotta instill loving kindness first before you turn someone in to a zombie. Using this shit to weaponize your peers for your cause is the dumbest fucking thing I've ever seen.One shot indeed.https://t.co/4yX9DvynVd
@selentelechia @eigenrobot Jokes aside, meditation can fuck people up. Given what I've been reading about it's impacts on the immune system, all of this stuff sounds like plausable side effects if you happen to be susceptible. https://t.co/9FbQiFYIwsSadly, no one seems to be studying this in earnest.
Would you be interested in joining our little group? We want to bring about an aligned AI godhead.Who's alignment tho? That's a good question. First, here's a drug that heals your soul. See we're good people.https://t.co/rSByIaHV6s

In star wars cannon lore, the Sith Lords recruit you with ideas about immortality, resurrecting the dead, and other things that are not entirely moral. They play on your heart strings to brain wash you.https://t.co/RMPrtb5pi6
Makes me somewhat sad for the people being taken in by the darkside. https://t.co/cftnemlv5X
Did you know that General Grievous (from starwars lore) is called that because he vowed to forever grieve for his wife - and this grief drove his descent into the darkside?https://t.co/8laXOVZAsqDon't let a tragedy destroy your light.https://t.co/Z4999Mr3kh https://t.co/k99X9OV1Py

wrote up why i think effective altruism is probably going the way of of more or less every institution in the united states thanks to many, but @orthonormalist in particular for critical feedback. all errors were and remain mine, please dont yell at him https://t.co/LYbOI2W7P6
