what makes using drugs seem less valid to you?

you could go to to a scientist and say 'HA! I learned all the biology I know without microscopes like the old masters!!'

you do you of course but at the same time why not use tools?

>what makes using drugs seem less valid to you?
I literally gave an analogy explaining why, so either you aren't taking the time to read, you are too stupid to understand common sense, or you are in denial (maybe it's a combination of two or all of those things).

READ HERE:

>You used a hallucinogenic substance and it resulted in you having hallucinations, that's what's supposed to happen. Why would you think anything you saw after taking that drug holds any weight? That's just plain self delusion.

>It's like taking migraine medication after you get a headache, and then when it starts working you claim you were chosen by God and God is healing you lol. It's like you are pretending you didn't just consume a substance that is now doing what it's intended purpose is.

If you took migraine medication when you have a headache, as the pain begins to subside, will you assume:
A. God is coincidentally healing me after I took the migraine medication.
B. Its the migraine medication making the headache subside.

The answer is obvious. I could give you many scenarios like this where every person would go with B, but for some reason when it comes to the occult or spirituality you go with A, and that's because its about 'the experience' and 'feeling special'. You don't care about doing something genuine, you just care about how amazing the hallucinations make you feel, and how special you feel telling yourself that you interacted with some 'divine force' or 'higher being'.

So like I said above in the thread post:
>They are always chasing 'an experience' rather than anything legitimate. These retards treat the occult/spiritual world like it's a form of entertainment, like it's an amusement park ride. They think they can just pop a pill or consume some hallucinogenic substance as their 'admission fee' and hop on the ride, and now they are 'enlightened' and 'communicating with higher beings' lol.

>I literally gave an analogy explaining why
and I gave you counter example. just because you can compare two things doesn't mean the comparison is valid:

do you live in a house?
why do you need such a crutch?

>so either you aren't taking the time to read, you are too stupid to understand common sense, or you are in denial (maybe it's a combination of two or all of those things).
if you feel I'm not approaching this conversation in good faith you are free to ignore it. 
if someone feels the need to assert something over and over makes it look like you want it to be true more than that it's actually the case, right?

>Why would you think anything you saw after taking that drug holds any weight?
didn't you just agree that it does...?
>Thank you for stating the obvious, improbable things do 'happen all the time' 

>The answer is obvious.
is it...?

just because you can frame it one way doesn't mean it can be true in other ways:
you can zoom in your bloodstream and see cells, and keep zooming and see atoms. now you could ask are you 'really' made of atoms or cells? it seems like both of them can be true, even though atoms aren't cells.

just because you can talk yourself through one explanation and convince yourself it doesn't mean you are right. World doesn't have to fit neatly into our premate logic where there's only A and not-A and nothing in between.
early philosophers struggled with this as they formed whimsical theories but never considered empirical testing or taking a look if their theories were actually true.

I'm starting to think you are high through this entire back and forth now, you aren't making any sense and you clearly can't see that.

I don't even know where you are going with that 'do you live in a house?' thing lol

>didn't you just agree that it does...?
I don't even know what to say at this point, I've been very specific with my wording.

This is so meta when you think about it, in the same way that a drugfag see's what they want to believe when they take a hallucinogenic substance and define the outcome as a 'spiritual experience', you are seeing what you want to see in my words lol.

I mean what did I expect, your mindset is already tailored to doing this.


>now you could ask are you 'really' made of atoms or cells?
I wish there was a school that taught people how to make analogies.

Dude, what you're saying makes no sense, because it's both, there is no question, cells are made up of atoms, so were both made up of atoms and cells, one is the 'building block' of the other.

You are seriously acting like you are saying something deep here when you are just stating the obvious.

But why am I surprised, all drugfags think they are deep lol.

>just because you can talk yourself through one explanation and convince yourself it doesn't mean you are right
Once again, I go back to probabilities:

>Thank you for stating the obvious, improbable things do 'happen all the time' (I like how vaguely you worded that, how disingenuous).
>But probable things happen 99.99% of the time, the exception doesn't make the rule, it proves it.
>It makes more sense to ASSUME that the probable is 'true'.

This is the greatest condemnation of your intelligence yet.
