Last night while relaxing with a bowl or two, i had a thought that came to mind..you know how when people like galileo and socrates invented calculus and flying and all that shit and everyone knows that those people practically lived high, well i had a trance thinking that every different type of weed has its own fate as to who smokes it and that it will conjure different types of thoughts, and that it was people like galileo and socrates had a certain type of weed that was meant for them kinda like they were destined to have that weed...very complicated hope some of you can grasp what i'm trying to say haha just thought it was a cool thought
neither of them used calculus or flying machines, neither of them got high much (well socrates might have) and disregarding both those points, i like the idea and ive had it too!
This sounds like any other stupid theory that anyone will come up with while high. I think every thought, crazy or not, that I have when I'm high is amazing and if people went around posting their theories that made no sense that they came up with while high then the server would crash lol. Just keep them to yourself.
Well when the cannabinoids open up all the receptors in your brain to prepare for a full frontal assault of THC you are essentially a genious for a few seconds until the THC comes in a ruins all of that. But for the most part if you concentrate enough you will have alot less faculty in your conscience mind but a whole lot more in your subconscience. Something to think about the next time your baked.
i dunno aboiut the first part, but i like the idea that when we concentrate, we minimise our conscious flux and increase our subconscious faculty. this is because when we arent concentrating, we are dealing with lots of things, consciously, but superficially. the superficiality represents our lack of subconscious engagement. But when we conentrate, we feed our subconscious a steady set of thoughts, so it can get to work more effectively on the thing we are concentrating on, instead of being distracted by all the random things our mind flicks over when we are not concentrating.
Where would we share them but here? That being said, we can still rag on them until we get around to thinking the same thing the next time we get stoned.
I never seem to be able to remember my crazy theories. Is thread going to be for theories that we made up while high? This should be a funny thread.
I get what the OP was saying. Basically, all the great philosophers in history smoked a certain weed that made them thing of their respective accomplishment. AKA Plato smoked the 'Republic' weed, etc. So basically the PERSON served as a catalyst for the weed's influence to bring about the accomplishment. Therefore the person was not inherently genius... the weed simply allowed them to become smart and discover. Therefore it is fate. This is different from perhaps accepted theory that the person was inherently genius that happened to smoke weed.
Sorry if somebody has already pointed this out, but galileo and socrates didn't invent calculus. It was Newton or Liebniz, depending on who you ask.
Yup, someone got stoned and started thinking again. I love stoned theory. They should have a class in college for it. "If God is all powerful can he himself (or herself) make a rock so big that he (or she) can't lift it." - George Carlin
Sometimes weed makes you think of really deep meaningful stuff... But this right here was just........ I can't even say it... -_-
Most of you are just pointing out that he had a thought while he was stoned, that's not the point, it was about great minds getting high and coming up with amazing ideas. You guys can't even prove him wrong. I believe that it totally could have happened, i have had stoned ideas that have changed my life many times. We should start the "stoned ideas" thread i would love to read other ppls thoughts or ideas!
