I had one breakthrough DMT experience where I saw 'the machine elves' (I just saw what I describe as fast-moving fractals that I 'felt' were beckoning to me); but, we have matching experiences w/the other primary psychedelics: I only had relatively minor on-top visual distortions with even the largest doses of LSD (1500+ mcg) or mushrooms.

That said, everyone is different. I know that some of my friends absolutely lost their fucking minds on a few tabs of LSD and, purportedly, experienced wild hallucinations that I have to trust were real to them but haven't ever experienced myself.

Garbage regulations like IP create these behemoths. If you want freedom, stop regulating monopolies into existence.

Statism creates billionaires.

That's not how engineers use AI agents any more. We don't just look at what it says — we have it prove that it's doing the right thing. We just look at the proof, so we don't have to look at all the details, nor blindly believe what they AI says. We also have adversarial reviews, which are typically more thorough (but less experience-based) than human reviews.

He fired 100,000 government workers, putting many of them on government assistance for a while. That wasn't taking away people's money and prosperity?

He took political power away from millions. That's pretty much a zero-sum game right there. It's not just the wealth, it's using the wealth to influence the levers of power that control so many aspects of our lives.

Yeah, it's funny how those deluded by Trump think/pretend that they're the sane ones.

> When people like you get your way, that's how failed states happen.

No, failed states happen because of corruption. Like the USA is experiencing now.

Wait, what?! Are you completely unaware of the Russian oligarchs?

Right, did you really expect Americans to elect a black woman?! We're in this situation because we have enough racists and misogynists that we're not able to elect a smart competent black woman over an exceptionally incompetent, corrupt buffoon. Anyone who says we're not a racist country is ignoring the plain facts — many would rather see the downfall of our nation than to hand over control to a black woman.

Right, sometimes it's about personal power instead of personal wealth. Corruption, either way.

It's just a reskinned VSCode, 99% of users probably dont even use Cursor's model.

Like . . come on.

So that leaves only $100k to pay everybody who had to babysit it

*gestures wildly at the corn industry*

Like the US doesnt have heavily subsidized industries?
