The internet is kinda like a psychedelic trip

I mean in structure. If you just let yourself roam over the web, clicking whatever link interests you and following your imagination. It's very much like a trip, following thoughts one through another. Maybe that's why I find the educational benefits of the internet rather underrated. Learning is done best when there is interest, and allowing the mind to roam freely is the best way for the mind to absorb information. Textbooks are kinda boring. And then there's the problem of accuracy of content, which is also a problem with psychedelic trips too. You often don't know what's real.

The internet is developing amazingly fast. Could December 2012 mean the technology for linking minds together and creating a super-hominid entity encompassing every human being on the planet as one vast consciousness?

 

Any video I watch on Youtube of someone tripping is proof enough for me that the internet is nowhere near replicating a psychedelic trip. However, I'd be willing to concede that the internet has the capability of being psychedelic in the literal sense of it can be 'mind expanding.'

I don't subscribe to your idea of 2012 either, many homeless, poor and so on just in my surrounding area. People still live in jungles, caves, mountains, etc. in the world too without technology.

 

I concur! :2thumbsup:

 

Well 2012 doesn't have to be an apocalypse, just a significant event.

If you've been through a trip - mushrooms, lsd or even really high on cannabis you'll know what I mean. You can't have any idea of the thought process of psychedelics watching Youtube videos of someone tripping.

 

Me no thinks will happen anytime soon.

 

Lol, cause gb's never tripped before

 

If my math is correct then by adding internet to an acid trip they should cancel each other out, but since they don't and all the letters do a little dance on the screen when I try to read them and the foreground and background do a little pulse and melty type thing. I'm inclined to believe that by my own logic the internet is not like a trip.

 

Two things can be like each other while at the same time being dissimilar in many other ways.

 

If the internet is like psychedelics it would have to be Mescaline because of it's "fractured" quality...

 

my trips generally involved very little hardcore sex.

 

That sucks

 

What if uh DSL really spelled LSD?

 

The internet is like the intersection of,,nets,,all interwoven and intermingled to create an interesting thing.
