Well, that's the narrative that's been pushed on us for the last hundred years or so.

I guess they've done a pretty good job of convincing us...

I'm not sure what you mean by pushing the narrative. Darwinism?

I read all the links and am going to download the rest. Thanks. We're in a trio of brave new world, animal farm and surpassed 1984 to varying degrees. Wonder if these are on the banned book list?

Given the links, do you think it's coincidence that John Hopkins is "researching" psylocibin as a cure for PTSD, anxiety and depression, and it's function is to "enhance suggestibility"? And psylocibin is being legalized as well as cannabis and the country was flooded with Rx opioids?

I'm surrounded by people who use hallucinogens (Ayahuasca LSD and mushrooms) and if we get the entire country on them we're in lots and lots of trouble. Great way to escape from reality. I just wish the blue aliens or talking trees would give us some solutions to our problems. Haven't heard any tho.....

Course I might be wrong, maybe Einstein, Oppenheimer and all the rest used mushrooms.......

We're nothing but animals, living a slightly advanced animal existence.

It's a dog eat dog, eat or be eaten world out there and that's all we have to look forward to. So go for the gusto! Grab as much as you can while you are still able to. Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die.

There is no God. You have no soul. There is nothing beyond this extremely limited framework. The Perennial Philosophy passed down through the ages is nothing more than naive superstition not worth looking into...

Maybe your children's, children's, children will live in the Technological Utopia we promised you but maybe not.

That's the narrative that's been foisted on us.

Darwinism works to explain a certain segment of life on earth but as a means of explaining all of existence, it falls decidedly short.
