I can't imagine tripping on livestream with Mr. Beast, Saturn Eating His Son, the CEO of Salesforce, and Grimes telling me about her latest plan for gamer communism. That would feel so bad in so many ways.

GOD DAMMIT I WAS 100% SURE THIS WAS FAKE WHEN I SAW IT LAST TIME
In 1653, a 15-year-old Louis XIV starred in a 12-hour-long ballet at the Louvre, performing before the royal court and ambassadors of every European nation to display his mastery over mind and body and the prowess of French culture. The lifespan in France at the time was about 30. Johnson's marathon livestream is something of the 2025 equivalent, a prince of tech displaying his mastery over mind and body and the prowess of technology — and its promise to expand our lifespans, so that we enjoy ever more years of consuming marathon livestreams.

Let’s hope they get massive ego death and someone gives them a bad trip. I feel psychedelics really aren’t that useful, anyway, having done far more than my fair share.

i feel compelled to defend them even tho we probably agree cuz golly i really like em. feels like a hard reset on my noggin when it gets to misfirin'... like head meds should do but don't (for me)

I can see both points here.
This is just a personal and anecdotal rambling, but I think of it as "once you get the message, put down the phone"
I find that psychedelics, over the years, have had this diminishing return where it shows me the mountaintop for a moment before placing me back at its base. The mushrooms are like a helicopter trip over that summit, you can get a look at it for a while but you don't get to stay there. If i want to stay then I have to do the hard work of climbing.
So they definitely show me that there exists something different, a different way to think, be, and experience, but once I've got "that message" then the subsequent trips hit less and less.
It's like it did what it could and now the ball's in my court.
And this isnt to knock them. They definitely can give you a good "reset" for a time!
At this moment, I take them as it telling me that I need to do the next steps full of personal changes. Which is the less fun and more difficult part
But I dont think these folks will get much, they may not hear the message lol.
Watch them come back with the 'realization' that "other people have, like, feelings and stuff, man!"

reminds me of the dude i met at a music festival in a distant era whose personal flavor of wonk was "we need to get the CIA on LSD" because once they do they will realise we're all one giant consciousness, and the universe is so beautiful, god is within all of us, etc, and they'll stop being evil.
yeah dude the vampire class that rules the earth never had access to psychedelics, and no evil person ever tried LSD and came out more evil

reminds me of the time a friend of mine was hosting a mutual acquaintance who insisted on microdosing the entire week. the microdose guy was exactly what you would expect.
anyway, my friend (host) was relating her exasperation by like day 4 when she blurted out, "knock it off! not everyone here is fascinating!"
