HR specialists say boomer parents are advocating on behalf of young adult children, calling up to negotiate better benefits, protest a poor evaluation, etc. NPR seeks to interview people about this. Employers - have you experienced it? Parents - if you’ve…
Really?
I’ve heard tales of this (and not just Boomer parents) for years...
what a sad society we live in when it is "news"...
fuckyeahpsilocybin:
people are so out of control of their own lives, they can’t be bothered to experience something for themselves unless the news tells them to.
I think we should use the lessons and the framework that these substances teach in combination with this well documented scientific data from the world’s leading educational institutions to dispel the myths that culture and the...

Why do the advertisements for blu ray on my regukar DVDs look better than regular DVDs? If they can make the advertisement look better, why not the movie itself. Life is puzzling.
Anonymous asked: So did you end up living in Molokai?
Hi
Posting this now, legally under the influence of pure psilocybin in the US of A. I had a deeply moving experience today. We accomplished good science and spirituality.
oh…but its still illegal for everyone else (I was in a study at Johns Hopkins.)
We’re working on that though. There is much ground to cover. If you’re near Baltimore and want to consider doing this, hit me up...
why?
This guy I share an office with just shows up (20 min late) and then proceeds to heat up an entire chicken and rice dinner for himself. Why do people do such kooky things? Its like 9:30 am? I just stared at him until he noticed me staring. Then he was like, “what?” I just asked him if he would care for a glass of Chardonnay. Then I told him, “I don’t blame you for wanting...

Well, the day is almost upon me. This Friday I will be undergoing by first psilocybin session at Johns Hopkins. Its been interesting to hear people trying to describe what might feel. “If you feel like you are dying,” they said, “You can let us know. Its ok. You’re not dying for real. We will probably just tell you to go ahead and die. Go in there and explore and see...
Gerry Rafferty
Know that name? Doubt you do. A few might recognize the name of the song Baker Street. But EVERYONE knows that fucking saxophone part. Everyone.
I wonder what it feels like to tell people you are a musician…one who wrote a hit song. They ask, “what song?” You tell them the name and you get a blank stare. Then you mouth that sax part and they are like, “ohhhh yeah, I know...

wooliebear:
Cook: You write that more intelligent children tend to be more deceptive—can you explain this? Trivers: The experiment was simplicity itself. A child is asked to sit facing away from a box. The experimenter puts something in the box and says “Do not peak, do not peak” and then leaves the room. Most children peak. The experimenter returns and asks, “Did you peak?” Most children...

He was like, "Yeah, I'm gonna close Guantanamo..."
Then he was like…”National Defense Authorization Act of 2012? Sounds good to me.”
Now we don’t even need Guantanamo.
What’s crazy is the amount of press covering these dumb asses running for President vs. the amount of time given to stuff like this. We’re getting so played. just slide that right on by New Year’s eve…No one will even notice or...
