The Men who Stare at Lasers (Premium E275)
Added 2025-01-27 01:25:53 +0000 UTCWhat if the Matrix really is a documentary? In this episode, Jake and Brad force Liv Agar to stare at a laser beam to find out what’s, like, really real. This is the story of how a former IDF soldier turned parkour enthusiast and American Ninja Warrior has claimed to have discovered “irrefutable proof” that we’re all living in a simulation. All you need is a little DMT, a laser, and an open mind to see the true code of our reality (which suspiciously looks exactly like the code from “The Matrix”.)

It's sad that the dude who admired his physicist granddad ended up so dumb and lazy. Instead of doing a fuckload of maths and a PhD and slogging away to write long ass proofs and stuff, he's just like "whoa. i solved it with drugs and lasers bruh". If I was his granddad I'd be disappointed.

2025-02-08 04:33:55 +0000 UTCWhen I was maybe 6 years old, I had a moment where it was like I became conscious all at once. I sat down on an empty bottom shelf in the bicycle section of Walmart and just...thought about how unreal everything felt and how I could never be certain what's real. Then I stood up and got on with life. That feeling never went away, those thoughts never went away, but I'm, like, normal about it? Seems like a lot of the brain breakage people have about faith and religion, existence, reality, simulation theory, etc etc is just because they didn't have that moment yet, and as adults, they ascribe way too much significance to it (and they immediately find a community online that encourages them to turn it into a whole solipsistic conspiracy/woo thing that conveniently excuses them from having to care about other people and what happens in the world).

Cool and Normal
2025-02-05 20:01:11 +0000 UTCThe thing is, lasers actually do look trippy when you stare at them… but the reason you see the “1s and 0s” is because of physics! Unlike normal light sources, lasers emit light of a single wavelength, so the light can constructively and destructively interfere with itself much more noticeably. When waves cancel each other out, thats when part of the beam looks dark and when they add together it looks brighter.

2025-01-31 19:13:02 +0000 UTCJake's take on the televised countdown clock to the apocalypse is basically the plot to the little(?) known 1996 Canadian movie "Last Night". (Except the universe is never revealed to be some grad students' failed project)
Grease Witherspoon
2025-01-31 17:02:03 +0000 UTCAs an Alaskan who went to college out of state in the mid 2000s, everyone at college also nicknamed me Alaska, and I returned home to find that many other friends who went to school out of state also were called Alaska by their dorm mates. It’s hilarious to hear that same story again from a completely different perspective

2025-01-31 01:58:27 +0000 UTCright except it isn't even though, just the Hollywood trope version of "code." It's so hilarious that the "code" itself is the fixation, not like, what information is encoded in it? Maybe if I knew what being on DMT was like this would make more sense.

Their tone and what they say, takes me right back to the schoolyard. People being like omg manchester united is soooo good, or this band or whatever and you can clearly tell they say it just because they think that it will make them fit in.

2025-01-28 22:39:47 +0000 UTCI had old windows in a house that passed by a busy road with lots of light pollution so I put up heavy curtains but in the gap between them light would make a pinhole camera reflection on the wall. They looked like a scratchy Tolkienesque script cross with cuneaforms in shimmering bands. I watched them shift and fade and reform, they were luminous and I'd like to pretend it was a communication through a bad medium that got garbled and therefore lost to me, I couldn't communicate back and their message got lost. That was just a fun little game my sad brain did to play with this normal phenomena of glass and light to make it entertained because I was depressed and lonely. I wasn't even on weapons grade brain drugs I was sober and or a little weed. I didn't delude myself that I was the main character and found the key to unlock the quest to do the thing - I was just at first confused then put two and two together about lenses that I'd leared at uni about how people used these phenomina to cheat at painting. I get that people don't know how light works and the wack things it can do but it just speaks to how empty and boring and sad your life gets to the point where you think you can see the Matrix.jpg and you are infact Neo.
Harrison Sanchez
2025-01-28 21:44:59 +0000 UTCNot solely but mostly. Yes it’s becoming more and more popular for slang, but the original intent is loan words. The point being-a code by fictional Japanese overlords probably wouldn’t be written in Katakana.
Laura Walsh
2025-01-28 21:25:35 +0000 UTCKatakana isn’t solely used for loan words. Sometimes it’s just used whole or in part of actual Japanese words and phrases. It can also be used for emphasis in the same way we would write words in ALL CAPS!

2025-01-28 05:32:59 +0000 UTCIt’s debated only because they weren’t out at the time. Speed Racer is a lot more explicit as an allegory with the family dynamics and Speed’s need to race but it’s really about how even though capitalism destroys the thing you love you shouldn’t stop loving.

2025-01-27 21:30:14 +0000 UTCI once took what Erowid enjoyers would call a “hero dose” of 4-AcO-DMT, which is a synthetic tryptamine similar to psilocin. I ended up having such a profound experience that led me to stop experimenting with psychedelics and drugs entirely. Looking back, everything I saw in this out of body 10 hour trip, was completely influenced by all the Terrance McKenna YouTube videos I had been watching. But, at the time I truly believed I had tapped into some other dimension or ancestral knowledge after traveling through kaleidoscopes worlds in the style of Alex Grey, meeting the machine elves, and even R. Crumb’s “Keep on Truckin’” guy was there too for some reason. I realize now that you are really just getting completely fucking zooted on those kinds of drugs and you’ll for the most part experience what you go into it expecting or hoping for, and drawing any real meaning from it is fantastical delusion. I am thankful that the “ego death” I experienced or whatever you want to call it, basically made me straight edge and I haven’t really listened to Phish or STS9 since…
Jose Chung
2025-01-27 21:29:23 +0000 UTC2CB can be taken as a pill, can't confirm how effective it was as this experiment was aledgegly not done in lab conditions and it's difficult to separate out the effects of 2CB from LSD & mushrooms when it's your first time and you're at a music festival. Sky did turn pink though, which I was told was a 2CB effect.

2025-01-27 19:28:57 +0000 UTCThe Laser experiment sounds just like the old Lucid Dreaming experiment that floated around on the early internet.

Does anyone else remember this?

2025-01-27 19:02:34 +0000 UTCSimulation theory is just a stupid tech bro version of William Burroughs' Naked Lunch Moment, when the individual is confronted with the reality of what's on the end of every fork. Material reality is obfuscated by culture, by customs and rituals we treat as real. It's not a novel or profound observation that reality is mediated and can appear as unreal, but of course Musk et al think they're special.

Well for example he had a part time job at the campus bookstore and decided to look right into the barcode scanner for long enough to temporarily blind himself in one eye.

2025-01-27 14:44:42 +0000 UTCFirst time I took acid, I made the mistake of doubling down halfway through the trip, thus making it a 16-hour affair. By the time I went to bed it was the middle of a bright July afternoon and I was still seeing iridescent glyphs gently gliding across every surface. I remember thinking, "Yeah, yeah, alright, I've seen the Matrix, but can someone please shut it off so I can SLEEP? Thanks!" 😆

2025-01-27 14:06:20 +0000 UTCIsn’t the real reason for feeling “something is very weird and wrong” in church or Disneyland just the fact that they are, just like the matrix, stories that both get confused with and invade our actual lived reality. Is this just too boring or actual real world response activating compared with thinking it’s a simulation or your own broken brain? Thank you for allowing me to ponder this while snorting with laughter💚

2025-01-27 10:59:21 +0000 UTCEstrogen would save some of these losers. Feeling like life is too mundane and like you're some other being next to all of the other people who are normal is a feeling that to me led to my trans awakening, similarly to the wazowskies. Just give it a shot, see what happens ;)

2025-01-27 08:17:34 +0000 UTCI bet those pills were 4-ACO-DMT, which has more of a psilocybin analog effect iirc, haven't done it in 15 years so idk tho

2025-01-27 06:53:16 +0000 UTCI'm happy for everyone who's had transformative experiences on psychedelics, but I just get really dumb. Like, the high watermark is crying uncontrollably bc of how much I loved my friends, and then trying to watch Twin Peaks s3 and not being able to tell if people's faces were floating off their body in a cool sfx, or if I was still tripping. And the bottom tier is probably going on a solo bike tour and thinking I could just shift my weight over to one side and pee out the leg hole of my shorts (spoiler: I peed on myself and my bike)

2025-01-27 03:02:09 +0000 UTCpeople who try to "figure out" what they saw on DMT are the worst. you have to just enjoy it and forget about it. it will drive you insane if you actually spend time trying to wrap your head around what you've seen. it's fun but fundamentally *impossible* to understand.

2025-01-27 02:30:51 +0000 UTCI'm definitely on the side of "wow my brain just went crazy for a little while" when it comes to psychedelics. But I do greatly appreciate their capacity to convert the mundane into the profoundly beautiful, even if for a short, limited time. In the end, it is just drugs. But in the moment......
