Drugs and the Meaning of Life
Drugs and the Meaning of Life
Article by Sam Harris
"Everything we do is for the purpose of altering consciousness. We form friendships so that we can feel certain emotions, like love, and avoid others, like loneliness. We eat specific foods to enjoy their fleeting presence on our tongues. We read for the pleasure of thinking another person’s thoughts. Every waking moment—and even in our dreams—we struggle to direct the flow of sensation, emotion, and cognition toward states of consciousness that we value.
Drugs are another means toward this end. Some are illegal; some are stigmatized; some are dangerous—though, perversely, these sets only partially intersect. There are drugs of extraordinary power and utility, like psilocybin (the active compound in “magic mushrooms”) and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), which pose no apparent risk of addiction and are physically well-tolerated, and yet one can still be sent to prison for their use—while drugs like tobacco and alcohol, which have ruined countless lives, are enjoyed ad libitum in almost every society on earth."

The Psychedelic Transhumanists - Article
"Transhumanism in a fortune cookie: the familiar human world is just one point along a continuum of evolution, and we have an unprecedented capacity to participate in that process. And yet, the future being as slippery as it is, there are as many visions for how this might occur as there are visionaries to guess at it. Computer scientists tend to have one transhumanism; genetic engineers, another. However, coherent themes emerge for those who have taken it upon themselves to make a sweeping survey of human inquiry, integrating a keen reading of the vectors of our technology with postmodern insight into the nature of mind."

Terence McKenna quote
..."I
don’t think you could discover consciousness if you didn’t perturb it,
because as Marshall McLuhan said, 'whoever discovered water, it
certainly wasn’t a fish'. Well, we are fish swimming in consciousness;
and yet we know it’s there. Well, the reason we know it’s there is
because if you perturb it, then you see it; and you perturb it by
perturbing the engine which generates it, which is the mind/brain
system resting behind your eyebrows. If you swap out the ordinary
chemicals that are running that system in an invisible fashion, then you
see: it’s like dropping ink into a bowl of clear water – suddenly the
convection currents operating in the clear water become visible, because
you see the particles of ink tracing out the previously invisible
dynamics of the standing water. The mind is precisely like that, and the
psychedelic is like a dye-marker being dropped into this aqueous
system. And then you say, 'Oh, I see – it works like this… and like
this'." ~Terence McKenna, The Importance of Psychedelics...
