  Agree, but also the nature will find the way 🥰

  Reposting my old comment

  Here’s a thing I often think about.Somewhen long, long time ago trees existed, but there were no microorganisms or fungi which could break apart wood, so for some 60 millions of years land was littered with unrotten trees.Until these microorganisms and fungi came into existence and started to feast. That event made wood a perishable material, and people now have to treat wood in different ways in order to show down its decay.Currently, humanity relies on plastics. And one large advantage of plastics is that they are, well, effectively non perishable. At the same time, humanity actively creates microorganisms that would be able to do what nature learned to do to wood.If Michael Crichton taught us anything, it’s the impossibility of containing such organisms in the lab. So I think it’s fairly reasonable to say that humanity will face with natural plastic rot within the next hundred years.Am I mad?Can you imagine challenges that will bring? Think checking every plastic bit of an airplane? A car? A ship?

  There’s a fantastic documentary by Adam Curtis, called “I can’t get you out of my head”. It explores specifically the transition from the ‘then’ system of thinking to, well, now. It’s long but give it a watch.

  Been there done that, in a moshpit while Brujeria were blasting Brujerismo. Ahh what a memory.

  Few weeks ago I read up on A. Muscaria, picked up a couple of them, decarboxydized them in an oven and drank tea with 4g of (poorly) dried mushroom. 3 days before sleep.

  Holy mother of fungi, it’s like having an antidepressant that, you know, works. Deep sleep duration increased from 10 to 19%. Walking up in the morning felt normal. Weed consumption dropped roughly by half.

  Only after three evenings, effects are felt four days after, although waining.

  I’m just a noise on the Internet, my words are worth nothing. But read up on the mushroom, it’s definitely something different from what people think it is.
