Are we sure “failed to stop it” is the correct framing?

The most honest thing to ever happen online.

I know like 3 things, and it’s mostly where my stuff is.

There’s always the possibility that our brains filter out aspects of reality for the sake of our sanity, or for some other unknown reason, and that these drugs lift the filter, so to speak, which is also proven to be true to a degree, like how shrooms sort of break down established beliefs/definitions and understanding, and I suspect that phenomenon is probably being misconstrued or inaccurately extrapolated on to assume the filter is about seeing something extrinsic about reality and not just revealing the internal processes of our minds.

Okay, but again, the question remains: how much of that is power of suggestion and priming/expectation?

I feel like that would ruin their life. Like spoilers for a good ending that they’ll never see. They’d be chasing that dragon unto death.

It’s fuckin’ Dune in there.

Trump is president, but it’s just unfathomable that people would follow an automated idiot /s

“You want to fucking kill yourself? What an insightful and thought provoking idea!”

At this point it would be more of a “Who Shot Mr Burns”

I missread. My bad.

What point do you think youre making here? Everything you listed is a reason it would be tougher for the US than Afghanistan or Vietnam.

It’s mad men all the way down.

Kinda seems stupid to want it to implode then, no?

Seems like waiting to interact with a hostile militant force is also the wrong idea. Seems like that hostile force needs to be actively run out of town.
