None of this is real. Don’t fuck with your brain, pal, it ain’t worth it.

Do you not suffer from how painfully boring reality and the default mode of consciousness are?

How can one stand decades of stagnation without the desire to escape?

To stimulate my brain I just learn new skills and solve puzzles constantly.

I am pretty happy so there is no need to escape.

I admit I am -curious- to try psychedelics but in no hurry. Plenty of things to entertain me in this life.

If you ever do decide to try them, it should still be an interesting experience. Personally, I loved to watch what happened to my computer screen during my first LSD trip, and I spent a lot of time obsessing over how pretty it was. It's definitely a different type of experience than learning a skill or solving a puzzle.
