<2021-12-13T22:20:40.000Z> Svantovit: Hey, man. Since you're the only one I can think of off the top of my head, do you know much about visions or trips and that realm of the mind?
<2021-12-13T22:25:39.000Z> Svantovit: And, do you prefer Telegram or anything? I honestly just like your posts a lot and think I'd really enjoy picking your brain and shit.
<2021-12-14T03:11:34.000Z> scalar: Thanks for the kind words. Poast is fine. However, will preface that I've stayed away from psychedelics in both knowledge and usage - so have limited/none experience besides what is said on the internet, lol.
<2021-12-14T03:12:15.000Z> scalar: Have always stayed away from that end due to it's initial weaponization and then introduction as the "new key to spirituality".
<2021-12-14T14:06:50.000Z> Svantovit: I wasn't using psychedelics, but have considered it. I can understand your apprehensions about it. There are certainly some suspicious aspects to it. I definitely don't think it's a new key to anything, maybe an old key. I only have one friend who's tried DMT. He said he didn't experience much, but he's not afraid of existentially afraid of death anymore. Which is intriguing, at the very least.I like poast and graf, in general, but I'm trying out Detroit Riot City for a bit. Being able to interact with more instances is nifty.So, as a someone who's clearly checked into the cosmic/spiritual side of things, what are some of your core tenets? Christian? Agnostic? A general theist? This might just be my childhood Texas "Bapti-costal" upbringing talking, but you definitely post some stuff that Christians might balk at. I've honestly been surprised at the reception on poast at times. It's cool.
<2021-12-15T12:16:52.000Z> scalar: I'm a big fan of Jesus Christ. When veering a bit outside the bounds, have tried to make warning that there isnt in-bad-faith intentions with presenting a set of observations. Poast has been welcoming. Think there is a great sense in who is genuinely trying to have a discussion v.s. those who are just seeking to assert intellectual dominance over others via infighting.Am genuinely curious though, what's the worst poasted that would be balked at?
<2022-01-03T07:59:15.000Z> Svantovit: I can't think of anything off the top of my head. As I said, I was a 90s tent revivals kid. I can see things I know my mother might have something to say about it as a fundamentalist type.
<2022-01-03T07:59:58.000Z> Svantovit: You might be correct, though. Nothing's in bad faith. That probably helps more than anything, which spurs engagement. It's cool, bro.
<2022-01-03T08:03:07.000Z> scalar: Thanks. Try not to piss to many people off, and it's usually just language incoherence when if you change the labels, change the proper nouns - "Oh, yeah - guess it is biblical". There was a poast about the proto-Mold inspectors/remediators of Leviticus who do more or less the same thing as now (sans the bird sacrifice) a few days ago?
<2022-01-03T08:40:23.000Z> Svantovit: Yep. That's definitely what it is. You're a man of balance. I will learn much. Any book recommendations regarding philosophy? I only took logic and ethics. Had great professors, but can't say I know dick about metaphysics.
<2022-01-03T08:41:44.000Z> scalar: Ah, would say just browse around and read whatever your interested in. It's essentially horseshoe theory where both ends of the horseshoe is "why did I waste so much time with this" - think of it like interesting fiction that may or may not have real world inspiration.
