Is there really any hope for humanity?

[Euphoric7]

People are slowly becoming less and less empowered and less independent; the general public have almost NO connection with their mind (meditation, dreaming, psychedelics) and feel that what's going on NOW is all that's real; kids are getting dumber and dumber.

With that being said... what's next? The entire world seems to be moving in the wrong direction, as the government gets more and more power vs. the individual. Some laws (especially "certain" prohibition laws) are based on no real facts.

As far as this whole "dumbing the nation down" thing goes... I think that it's all part of a plan to keep us out of something THEY are afraid to experience. For example psychedelics (including good ol' MMJ of course) are often referred to as 'doors to the mind'; meditation CAN get you there, but it takes a lot of training and discipline.

----
Anyway! The general public are becoming more and more close-minded and genuinely AFRAID to change and accept other people's ideas.

Religion is an early ploy to govern people's actions by using fear (definition of terrorism?). But in our new age, it's much more profitable to split ideologies in order to create wars. Why? For money, of course!

Do people even naturally belong on earth? Our intelligence and thirst for more can only destroy everything else.

What if this "dream world" is where your soul lives and your physical body is only a host that gets used while it can function, then is exchanged for another body?

It's a known fact that after your pulse rate stops (you're dead), your brain activity doesn't cease until 10-15mins later. A cool idea I just came up with now is... you know how sometimes a dream can seem like a day or two (when, in fact, it was only 2-3 hours in reality)? Well what if... when you die and your brain starts releasing its DMT, you fall into a deep dream, where you live ANOTHER full life, and when you die in that second life, the cycle continues?

This is just some THC induced theory venting :thumbsup: (grammar isn't a big priority either :P)

I agree, people are not taking education as seriously as they should. And these people mate and have children with similar dissinterests in learning.

But about the whole dream state when you die thing, I watched a thing on T.V. about something like this. They say that even though your brain is still active for a while that "dream state" is really just oxygen deprivation. And that's probably why people think they see heaven with their near death experiences.

I agree that people are becoming dumber... and if its hard for intelligent people to change their ways, its even harder for dumb people... so i think there is no hope.

[Euphoric7]

See, back in the tribal days... the dumb people who purposely jumped off of cliffs are dead and people who were afraid of heights are still alive. Nature weeds out the weak.


(anyone catch that weak pun? Haha)

[rebgirl420]

Hahaha.

Yeah I believe Darwin's Theory is quite evident. However it's not always allowed to do its job (That can be good AND bad).

Stupid people who do crazy shit, like tying cinder blocks to your legs and jumping in a pool or shaking the vending machine so hard it falls on you and crushes you, end up dying. Someone took a dip in people like these's gene pools.

nope. people are way to easily influenced and brainwashed. we are getting our rights and freedoms taken away but the average american would rather sit on their fat asses and watch some bullshit reality show then do something about it, or even care!

And I totaly agree with you on how they have phycedelics and weed illegal because it makes you think outside the box and that is the last thing they want

Also most people I know who are in to "politics" are caught up in the whole
"Left/Right bullshit when really they're both run by the same people behind the scenes.

Fortunately people like us are awake to whats going on, it's sort of like the matrix when Morpheous aks neo if he will take the "red pill" and wake up to whats really going on and ecape the bullshit, or take the "blue pill" which will keep him unaware to whats really going on but will make life easier
(if you have'nt seen the movie I reccomend it)

It seems like most functional potheads are caught up in all the cattle.

Yea, it's VERY much like the Matrix. The world is FULL of entertainments and things to keep you occupied and blissfully unaware. And the more you let them take bits of your freedom away, the easier it becomes.

I'm going to sleep, something tells me I'll have a interesting dream after all this thinking
